"A strange occurrence took place a
few mornings since in the family of Mr..
Silas Doloway, in this village. Mrs.
Doloway is accustomed to leave her
baby, little girl Of four Dlonths old,
on the bed up stairs while she does
her mornings work in the basement,
from which she could easily hear the
least noise. On the morning in ques-
tion she heard the little one growing as
usual, but finally noticed that the sound
ceased. and shortly after hearda strange
gurgling noise. Supposing that the
child had got Its head under the bed
clothes and was suffocating she ran up
stairs to see about it, and found the
house cat with its nose in the child s
mouth. The child was strangled black
and was fighting feebly with its hands.
She caught the child and shook it sew
eral times when 1t caught its breath and
came out all right. In few minutes
more it wogld have probably been
strangled to death. Mrs. Doloway had
to pull the cat off the child so eager was
it to remain. 1t had 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.
That cat will "suck child's breath
is "bug-bear" that has frightened mo.
theirs foryears and years, but that 1t was
really true few persons probably be-
lieve. That the instance here related
actually occurred can be verified by any
one who will take the pains to ascer
tain the facts In the ease.-Middletowr
