Suicide is becoming alarmingly frequent in the Prussian army especially among the higher ranks. Not to mention other recent cases, a young cadet of 16 shot himself the other day in the military college at Lichterfelde ; and at a numerously-attended ball on Sun day evening, at the house of a staff officer in Spandau, a lieutenant suddenly drew a pistol and blew out his brains. A Prussian officer who lately went to Paris on a matrimonial errand has put an end to himself in the same way. Deaths from duelling in Germany have also been frequent of late. *
