ACRILD STRANGLED BYA CAT.

A strange occurrence took place few
mornings since in the family of Mr.. Silas
Doloway, engineer iu Babcock, Fuller 4
Co.'S new hat factory, who occupies j. w.
Garfield s house on Mulberry street, in
this village. Mrs. Doloway is accustomed
to leave her babe, little girl four months
old, on the bed up stairs while she does
her mornings work in the basement, from
where she could easily hear the least noise:
Surprising that the child had got its head
under the bed-clothes and was suffocating
she ran up stairs to see about it, and found a
house cat with its nose in the child's mouth.
The child was strangled black and was
was fighting feebly with its hands. She
caught the child and shook it several times,
when it caught its breath and came out all
right. In few minutes more it would
probably have been strangled to death.
Mrs. Doloway had to pull the cat OIL the
child so eager was it to remain. 1t had a
paw on either side of the child's head and
had its nose pressed deeply into the child's
mouth. The cat was instantly killed
