The New London Day saws that Tho

The New London Day says that Thom- as Mccormick of Versailles had a sick horse which he turned out to recuperate in field late last week. The account continues '.No further thought Was be- slowed on him until the alarm was given that horse was drowned in pond con- tained within the lmita of the field; and sure enough there was the annis,sa invalid too far gone for rescue. He had delib- erately walked into the pond until he reached a depth sufficient for his purpose and there drowned himself. By what pro cesses his mind reached conclusion that there was an escape from bodily suffering through the medium of friendly horse pond, unfortunately for science, will never be known, but that the animal deliberate ly walked to his death with defined pllr- pose seems to be beyond question"
