Health officer N. B. Spencer and DR..
/. B.! Searles had rather startling ex-
erience on Wednesday last. They went
East Honesdaie to fumigate house
Vhich had been quarantined on account
scarlet fever. The occupants were
rdered to quit the premises during the
mitigating process, and cautioned to
axe with them all their domestic pets
irds, cats and dogs, il they cared to
be them alive afterward. The house
eing thus abandoned, and the doors
nd windows closed, the proper amount
sormaldehyde was deposited in the
hfected rooms. Soon afterward Mr..
pencer heard an unearthly despairing
~ from the interior, and fearing that q
aby or two might have been overlooked
the hasty exodus of the family, rush
q TO their temporary abiding placee To
ake inquiry. 1t was then discovered
hat pet cat failed to answer the roll
bll, and sure enough, when sufficient
bnsilation had been given to admit oi
hskance, pussy was found stretched Out
ethe floor, all of its nine lives thus
gically sacrificed.
