Two More Women Eaten by Wolves

The Dumfries Refor1asr of Oct. Is, contains
the following account Of shocking event
which occurred at the township of Mornington
Canada:
" Our pen has seldom had to record more
heartrending circumstance than we are about
to relate. Some ten days ago in the northerly
extremity of the township Of Moruington, two
females went out III the evening in search of
Itf2r cows, ~ not returning that night search

their skeletons we're only to be found their
flesh having been completely devoured by
wolves. We are unable to record the partjc-
ulars, the sad outlines only having reached us.
Our informant also states that man in that
locality has been missing for the last ten days.
No trace of him could be found whatever and
fears are entertained that he met the same Ia
inevitable fate as the unfortunate women
The wolves were never before known to be
so numerous or ravenous as they are at this
season in this section of the country 1t is re-
garded as unsafe to be alone on the public
highways after dark. Reports are reaching us
almost every week Of some of their ravages
through the country Almost everyone has
been visited by them, and mischief done to
a greater or less extent
a farmer in ssNortli Easthope had thirty
sheep killed in one night by them They drove
them to the barn-yard and killed them there.
A few nights previous they killed twelve be-
longing to the same man.
Bears are also numerous and remarkable
saucy. A Mr.. Bennett Of Mornington was at
tackled short time ago, in his own field, a
1ittlssfter dark by an old bear with three
cubs. He fought her off till some of the neigh
bors came to his relief, An immense one was
killed in Mornington few days ago"

A Singular Affair.

The Bath (1fe.) Sentinel, of Saturday
contains the following account Of an in.
sane woman in that city burning herself
to death
We learn that Mrs. Susan Tarbox, wife
Of Mr.. James Tarbox, Of Tobsham, who
has long been subjectto hopeless insanity
put an end to her existence the latter part
Of last week, by means Of fire. AS We
hear the facts, on Friday, about ten
o'clock. she made an attempt to burn her
self by means of friction matches, but was
detected by means Of the smoke issuing
from the room in which she was confined.
The room was then thoroughly searched
and it was supposed impossible that she
should have matches in it. 1t appears,
as was subsequently ascertained, that she
still had them concealed in her shoes, and
early in the afternoon smoke was again
discovered about the house, and the fe-
males about rushed to her room and
found the smoke SO dense they could not
enter. Mr.. Tarbox, who was near the
house, was Immediately alarmed, and sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames. The
unfortunate woman had evidently fred
her clothes about the waist, as her breast
and shoulders were burned in the most
shocking manner, though life was not ex-
tinct. She made no cutlery whatever, and
though she fingered until the next day,
and was able to converse a little, she
manifested little or no symptoms Of pain
or distress.
She was not without method in her
madness, for it was found that she had

flames, five children, and both Mr.. and
Mrs. Moore were dreadfuly burned, ~
One Of the sufferers did not belong to The
Family, but had Just entered the house on
an errand, her parents living at some dis
Etance. Her name was Eliza Jane Lawson
Jagged about Z years. Size ran out the al
Hey into the lane and threw herself down
in the gutter beneath the open fire plug,
directly in front Of the house. Notwith-
standing this, she was so drcadfully
burned that she died few hours after
