HoRRIBLE.--We find in our Canada en-
changes report of an attempt made by IA
man named QUINrAL and his wife. resid-
ing at ST. Hyacinthe, near Montreal, to
burn theirlittle daughter, aged seven years.
1t Is too horrible to be believed though it
is stated as follows: They tied the poor
gir to fence on one Of the country roads
in that vicinity and then set fire to her
clothes. Fortunately their diabolical eff
forts were frustrated by the appearance OF
some inhabitants and the wretches. as soon
as they were perceived, endeavored to con-
ceal themselves, and had nearly escaped.
The child, we are informed, although Sc.
verely burnt, is yet expected to survive
this parental cruelty. The parents are
lnendlcants, and it is believed the crime
was committed under the influence of in.
toxicatug liquors.
