A SINGULAR IscIDENT.-ALNOsr A CArAs-
rRoPHE.-There is popular superstition that
cat, If allowed the opportunity, will suck
the breath of child;' though bow this is ac-
comPlished is not apparent Cats are sub
Jected to much suspicion, and, indeed, no
animal petted by man is at once so much ad.
mired and detested A circumstance came to
our knowledge recently which seems to indi-
cate that the numerous charges made against
the feline race are not altogether unfounded
The other evening, at q residence only q few
miles from this city, cat was discovered
sitting upon the chest Of little boy four years
Of age, her mouth placed close to the child's
lips, and the cat evidently very much ab-
sorbed in the operation. An effort was made TO
drive the cat away, BY speaking sharply TO her
She paid no attention to this, and was equally
unmindful Of q series Of blows with q stick.
The cat was finally fairly pushed of the BODY
Of the child and OF the bed. She was ther,
pushed out Of the room and down the stairs; she
could not be driven in the usual way She had
q bewild cred, wild look all the time, and exhib-
tied q sign Of fsrocity by springing upon the
servant who was forcing her down stairs
The cat was Instantly killed as q warning to all
cats not 10 be too intimate with sleeping chill
dren. The little boy woke up during the noise
which was made, and was naturally somewhat
frightened. He did not seem to be injured
Though no harm was done, evil might have
ensued had not the cat been discovered and
removed. Her weight on the child's chest
would necessarily reduce the quantity Of air
inspired, and tend TO cause suffocation, while
the child would inspire only carbonis acid gas
taken from the mouth Of the cat. The tive
causes might induce death even. They may
have originated the superstition that a eat
''suckSthe breath of child"

serve the PaTpose of elisiting inquiry and
patting sonle parent Oa their guard against
the treseheroas and siealthy peas with which
