Rlrl of Minot 3 years of age, in the charge tit lit r sister. who
'ls raved 17 years, while Witnessing it, was seized by a It•oparit,
which (though every means that the cit rmitatances of the case
'afforded were used to save the child) lacciated the rielit turn
to that degree that amputation from the shoulder was found
necessary. It is expected, however, that the child will live.
As the animal was properly secured by a close iron grating. it
syactirs that the accident happened wholly from what may be
considered an inattention on the part of the girl, for the lair-
pose of gratifying the curiosity of her little sister, by stiffering ,
her to put her hand forth unobserved.
