Very shortly eastwards I noticed the child making a strange noise and he myhusband, andoke of it to11u spoke , said it was probably dreaming. After my husband went to bed I noticed tile' child making the same strange noise. The noise seemed just a heavy breathing with'sonie- thing apparently wrong with its throat.

John A. Meldrum, of the town of Wing - ham, in the county of Huron, Physician, being sworn, smith; I was called in last Saturday to Mr. Baby's to see a sick child. This was on Francis street. Mrs. Baby, the mother of the Child, was there when I went there, Last Saturday Mr., Baby called at my house. He seemedto be much excited and wa's crying or almost 'crying" He asked me to came and see the Child. I went to see it, When I went into the house I thought the child was dying by the way it was. breathing and appearance. This was about 5 o'clock in the evening. I put up the window blind 'and looked more closely at the child and camp to the con- clusion it was dying, and said so. The Child's skin seemed a .sort of deathly or dark color. The breathing was quite slow and sterterous breathing. I did not feel its pulse, as I thought it was dying. The skin to nee appeared a little hotter than natural, 1jlid not take the temperature. There was no appearance of perspiration at all. There was nothing inconsistent in the Child's appearance or actions from what wits death, with what 1 thought diarrhoea utes after I gave her the He then of mol be from the examined its heavy dose g powder.of morphia.

I know nothing about what is in other three powders in the cupboard and the mixture called Castoria. 1 would not Saturday last when I called on Dr. Chis - holm. I told him how the child was. I saw him compounding the medicine. He took the different ingredients out of bottles on the shelf in his office. I gave the child the first powder as soon as I went home. I did not notice any change in the child till after about five minutes. It was then put went back to where the child was, leaving the Dr. in the room where the cupboard was. The Dr. told us to work away with the child this way, when he went down to his office after some medicine for the child. When the Dr. was away we diel not give it any medicine.

The child was a year and nine oaths old. Rosena Naby, of the town of Winghatn the County of Huron, inother of the de- i and wife of the hast witness, being math: The ohiid was not very well week before my husband went to see Cl teholm. It was going round, I it hat teething was the matter with I he, had better tel. my husband that h , la we SAW a change in the child. Its lips got a pink color and.its cheeks also. We rub- bed it, and the Dr. went clown town for a syringe and when he .came back the child was dying. Suet •shortly -before it died the think Castoria would effect a child as this child appeared to be effected. A dose of morphia would take effect and show its symptoms in about half an hour after be iugteken. The symptome I saw in the child would be inconsistent from that produced by strychnine, or arsenic. I would expect to find the upils of tho eyes more contracted from the ffeotsof opium or morphia. The pupils sometimes dilate from a posonous close of opium or morphia, but from this poison they usually remain contracted. Morphia is a whitish color, with a yellowish tinge. There is no tinge of green in it. The temperature of this child was a little hotter than normal. From morphia it is not necessary that there should be profuse perspiration. r would not say positively that the lips would present a livid hue from morphia poisoning. I won't say that there was an appearance of convulsions, but the increas- •ed heat would go to show symptoms of convulsions. The breathing described by Mrs, Baby in her evidence might India' sate convulsions. Dr. P. Macdonald, M. P., who, with Dr. Meldrum, made the post mortem examina- tion, being sworn, said: External inspec- tion—The body of Elizabeth May Baby was that of a well nourished female child of about two years old, with a pallid face, fair hair and about 28 pounds in weight. .The eyes were blue in color and moderately dilated. The openings of the body were in a normal condition. Internal inspection —The bones of the skull were quite healthy. The skull was about an eighth of an inch thick, but somewhat thicker at the back of the head. Tile Dura 'Mater (or the mem- brance which covers the brain) was quite healthy in structure and appearance. The large brain (or cerebrum) wasnormal in structure, but at its base the vessels were distinctly congested. The little brain (or cerebellum) was distinctly congested. The left lateral ventriele of the brain contained a small quantity of serum.. The right lateral ventricle of the brain, being opened on removing the brain, we were not able to' determine the amount of venni, if any,it contained. There was a small quantity of serous effusion at the base of the brain• The organs of the thorax were quite normal las to position and struoture. The lungs were considerably congested with venous blood, and somewhat mottled by purplish spots. This was more particularly the case with the left lung. The peecardium (or the sack in which the heart moves) con- tained a small quantity of serous fluid. The heart was of normal size and structure. Its arteries (coronary) wore distinctly con- gested, both auricles of the heart were filled with very dark blood. The left ventricle os the heart was quite empty. The right ventricle of the Heart contained a small quantity of very dark blood. The organs of the abdomen were all hi their normal position. The bowels appeared quito normal. ' The muscle which separates the titirax from the abdomen (diaphragm) ,extended in front up to the fourth rib .The liver was quite normal in structure, but ee igested with black blood: The gall ,bladder was full of bile, The spleen was work ou "Diseases of Children," is not a standard work, but is a good work, Many of the symptoms we found in the poet mortem are consistent with death frosty. convulsions. The stomach and intestines were placed in a sealing jar, sealed and, a stamp put on and placed iu the Coroner's hands to be sent to Toronto. There were 7a0 signs of concussion or blood in the head. The organs sent down for analysis were pieced immediately . in a jar after being taken from the body, To Mr. Morton—The symptoms found in in the post mortem are also found in conditions besides convulsions. Beport of Prof, W, H. Buis, of• Toronto, to Dr. Towler, Coroner --I have mace a careful examination of the viscera of the child Elizabeth May Baby, which yon sent me for analysis, and also of the contents of the bottle and of the powders. All these articles were received securely sealed and carefully packed and in a good state of pre- servation. I have found nothing which can, throw any light upon the cause of death. There is no poison to be detected in the viscera. The pos ders contained milk, sugar, a minute quantity of mercury and a few fragments of some leaf. There is no opium or morphia in the powder's, nor in the bottle, and I Could find none in the viscera. The following verdict was then brought in by the jury : That neither the post mortem, the analy. sisAof the viscera and the medicines, or the medical and other testimony throws any lsght on the actual cause of death, and the beg to submit that the said Elizabeth May Itaby died from causes to this jury un- known; and we further exonerate the medical attendant from any blame. told him where they Were.

The delays which are so frequent in such entertainments were e0uspicious by their absence. The Blue - vale Presbyterian church choir, alias the "Glee Club," were not appreciated as they should have beau, owing probably to the fact that some of the audience had heard them before. The violiu solos by Mr, Paul Powell Were splendid. Mr.' Sowell is, we are glad to say, our best local violinist' The readings of Mr. i). Tracey werelaugh, able, and reflected credit on, that person. The harmonicas, by D'Iessrs King and Mc. Pherson, were well rendered. Mr. Mason, the comic singer; did not make much of a hit, but for an e.mateur he did fairly well. Perhaps the most pleasing event of. the evening; was the presentation to the teacher, James Wilson, of a dresslug case by the scholars.
