The knife had never been in use before, and had been among a shower of gifts received by Mr. and Mrs. Heald at the time of their mar- riagre.

He himself was suffer`- ing from a headache, and lay down on a bed in another room. He arose several times and looked into the room where his wife` and child were, on each sucl: occasion finding` them apparently asleep. About 11.30 Mr. Heald was awakened by his wife, from the cellar for the child. While he was in the act of doing so he heard the little boy cry out sharply, ried upstairs and was horried to nd that his wife had cut the child's throat with a carving knife and also her own. Help was hurriedly sum- moned and the frantic father, after vainly endeavoring to stanch the blood which poured from the gaping wound in the child s throat, sum- moned Dr. W. E. Brown, but the child was dead when the doctor ar- rivr-rl upon the scene of the traire The unfortunate woman was taken in an ambulance to the Urillia `Memorial Hospital, where she lies in .a very critical condition. \ \ When Mr. Heald returned to lzisl . home after his day s work, he noticed who asked him to get her some milk- Hc h ur- I . l'II_aVl`Ill\aA1 .--...__ Citadel and Quarters, 60 Collier St., Barrie.

Dr. I-Iarvie is in at- tendance. When Billy Howe was driving a load of pigs to town last Friday morning, one escaped from the wagon, and in the ensuing commo- tion the horses bolted. They ran along Peel to McDonald St. and nally ditched and freed the rest of the pigs on James St. Mr. Howe, when he realized the horses were be- yond control, jumped from the wa-"` {son and \vas unhurt.
