Mutch, aged 23 years. Mr. and Mrs. Mutch were away from' home at the time, on a visit to another daughter, and at about eleven o'clock at night a messenger arrived and told them that their daughter was dying in. convulsions, They hastened home, only to find the statement was too true, The unusnat circumstances of het death led to an inquest being held on Wednesday, when the pre•.ence of strychnine was found in her system, and the jury returned a verdict' that she died from puisoa, administered by someone unknown. The family are very highly respected and the heart- felt sympathy of the.erx.tire, community goes out to them in this hour of sorrow and trial. A Sad Case. One of the saddest events ever chron- icled in this county culminated in the family of Mr.. Robtert Mutch, a well- known and highly respected farmer living in East Wawanosh, on Monday night last week. Dis daughter Jessie, a young woman of 22 years, was the victim, and the history of the case shows it to be the old and cruel story of seduetion under promise of marriage then abandonment by the betrayer, and the death of the poor girl, probably by her own hand, to avoid the shame she could not face. On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Mutch were absent from home, and their daughter Jessie, after spending the evening with her brothers, William and Fred, retired, apparently in the best of spirits; but aoout midnight her screams alarmed the household and she was found in the throes of death from the effects of a dose of strychnine. Dr. McLaughlin, of Blanchester, was summoned, but could do nothing. A coroner's inquest was held on Wednesday by Dr, Milne, of Blyth, un- der the direction of Mr. Lewis, who act- ed on behalf of the crown attorney, Drs. McLaughlin and Ferguson performing the post mortem examination. The deceased had been keeping company with a young man named John Fenton a miller, and from her correspondence and a diary slie had kept, it was found that, haying aecomplished her ruin, he had grown tired of her and refused to marry her. Fenton was called as a witness, and at first seemed disposed to deny everything, but under skilful cross questioning he finally admitted the whole story; also that the deceased had told him she would commit sui- cide if he did not marry her, and that he had one time taken a package of strychnine from het and burned it. The mother of deceased had only re- cently suspeeted that anything was wrong with the girl, and had deter- mined on learning the facts and en- deavoring to seeure an honorable set- tlement by the young man, but before her intentions could be carried out the hand of death had fallen, The jury* returned an open verdict that deceased fright ]tcalmed by the persons present, came to her death by poison admirals. • NO 366 tered by some one unknown and so the sad tragedy rests for the present, Intense indignation is felt towards the heartless aiid cowardly wretch who Is the cause of the poor girl's un- timely death, and but for the respect for law which is characteristic of Ca- nadians, he would have met with something like his deserts at the hands of the citizens of that section, British Grain. Trade. London, Nov, 19 -The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British Grain Trade says: -During the week English wheats have risen a shilling for best lots, and sixpense for ordinary. Foreign wheats advanced sixpence, California cargoes sold at 21s.' hard Manitoba at 24s 9d, and Duluth at 25s. Corn is a shilling higher, and line feeding barley and flour has risen sixpence. At to -day's market values were maintained. Tall Chancery Sittings. The sittings of the Chan eery Divis- ion of the High Court of Justice was held in the courthouse on Monday,, the 12th inst, before the Honorable Mr. Ji`tstice McMahon. The first case on. the • list was Ratz vs. Hall, an action by the pltf. on a mortgage. The case was referred to the Master for administration and for enquiry and report. The next case was that of Faoson vs Fansou, whieb is an action brought against the deft. to recover certain monies said to be ir1 his hands -belong- ing to the estate of the plrf's father. Referred to the Master to enquire and retort. Sample vs. Sample was the next case on the list, and is an action brought by the plJ. to have it declared that they are entitled to a lien on deft's lands for money paid by pltf. for deft. Referred to the Master. Howe vs, Ronald was an interplead- er action brought to try the ownership of certain goods seized by the sheriff under an execution, deft, declaring the goods are not the goods of the claim- ant and therefore liable to be sold un- der the execution, Clinton: Jest a year ago a pet pug belonging to Miss Murray, unaccount- ably got lost, and effort to discover its whereabouts failed. The other day very much to her joy and surprise, the dog came home; it had evidently been kept in confinement, as a cord was attached to its neck. Parkhill: At about 440 a. m. oa Thursday week a freight train from the east ran elf the end of the siding at the statiou. The engine and four cars went off the track, the engine and one ear failing over on their sides. The engine was considerably damaged and the ears badly- wrecked The fireman and engiucer jumped before the engine left the track, and tbus escaped serious injury, although the fireman's arm was so badly hurt that surgical aid was required, and Dr. Ovens dressed the wound. 'Traffic was delayed for sever- al hours until the track was Blared. The engine was left where it fell until ' Sunday, when a crew of men raised it. Wno is to blame for the accident is not known, but it was evidently due to a. misunderstanding between the engin- eer and the operator in charge at the station. The former claims that he did not whistle for the siding and the latter thinks he did, and put the train. on the siding, leaving the main tract: clear for the express, which he expect- ed shortly, from the east. The speed of the train was too great to allow the engineer to stop before the and of the siding was reached, although he reversed the steam and locked the en- gine.
