Little Donna, 21 bright, healthy baby who was but two months old, was put out for her morning: sleep as usual in her carri:z~,:~L on a side porch, and when her mother` went to get her some time later found the baby was dead. It is believed to lmve (lied from suf`r`ocation. At the sale on the farm of the Lite R. J. Moffatt in Adjala last week some surprisin'g`1y good bids were made. For a horse $106 was realized, emu the cows sold at 2. average of $42. A number of young shoats brought $3.90 each and a calf one day old was sold for $5.

Everything offered was sold and the bidding was as b1'i:sk as ever it was when conditions xverc much better than they are to-day.
