n THAelcAI Scrrr.-A most tragi
, cal occurance took placs recently il
Waupacco county, Wisconsin. 4
farmer sold yoke Of oxen and 70
ceived his pay in paper money. TIL
, man who purchased the oxen, being
in a hurry to start of, requested the
farmer to assist him in yoking them
up. He accordingly went to the yard
with the man for the purpose, leaving
the money lying on the table. On
his return to the house, he found his
little child had taken the money from
the table, and was in the act Of kind
ling the fire in the stove with it.
From the impulse Of the moment, he
hit the child slap on the side Of the
head, so hard as to knock it over ;
and in the fall, it struck its head
against the stove with such force as to
break its skull.
The mother, who was in the act Of
washing small child in tub Of wa
ter, in an adjoining room. on hearing
the fracas, dropped the child, and ran
to the room whence the noise proceed
ed, and was so much terrified at what
she there beheld, that she forgot the
little child in the tub for time, and
ulnn her return to the room found the
little one drowned! The husband,
after a few moments reviewing the
scene before him, seeing two Of his
own children dead without further re-
Election, took down his gun and blew
his own brains out!

him to load a Wagon. He soon gave
evidence Of being unsound in the mind /
and he was subsequently handed over
to the care of Captain George Weaver,
Of the Northwest Police Division.
The lunatic wishes to go to the alms-

sent there with him. Unless his
