was opened and heart, lungs, liver,
throat, kidneys and blood vessels all
found to be healthy. DIR. Billiard Of
st. Johnsbury examined the child and
gave it as his opinion that it was stran-
yled, but did not say how, whether by
force or from natural causes, but said
the external injuries produced the liv-
id appearance of the body. DR.. Ca
hoon agreed with DR.. Billiard as to
the appearance of the body, and said
the child's death was occasioned by
Strangulation, the result of external
causes. Drs. Brown and SiaS thought
its death was occasioned by cerebro-
spinal meningitis, and so thought DR..

The child had complained of a bad
cold and the mother gave him a sweat,
appeared to be very kind to him and
kept him extremely neat and tidy, &C
cordiug to the testimony of nearest
neighbors. The father went for ply
Sician, leaving the child upon the
lounge, and when he returned the boy
was dead.
Upon complaint made to the town
grand juror, the states attorney ar
rested Mrs. Randall who had an ex-
animation lasting a couple Of days
when she was discharged. Testimony
was brought out that showed uniform
kindness on her part, only one case Of
severe chastisement being proved, and
that by her own admission. Another
family was living in the same house
with Randall, and their testimony was
wholly in favor of the prisoner. We
guess she is innocent. Randall useC
