The Bayfield Mystery.
-,.00.10.
When W. 3. Burns arrived at his
bottle at Bayfield, a small village on
the shores of Lake Huron, on Thurs-
day, July 15th, he found his wife, who
had been left alone with her invalid
daughter, dead, A stocking was
knotted about, her neck, and there
was an ugly bruise in Ler temple. A
coroner's jury ,returned a verdict of
suicide. The affair was brought to
the attention of Crown Attorney Sea-
ger of Goderich who ordered a post-
mortem examination. The result of
the examination, it is said, precludes
any theory of suicide, and another in-
quest was hold on duly 22nd, and this
jury found as their verdict, that "The
deceased came to ber death from
causes unknown, but she did not com-
mit suicide,"
Tlie most reasonable explanation of
the cause of the poor woman's death
was furnished in the report of Drs,
Gunn and Wood, who performed the
autopsy over the remains. It was
shown that Mrs. Burns was badly run
down, and suffering from fatty de-
generation of the heart. The bruise
aver the right temple, while very
severe and evidently made by some
heavy blunt instrument, did not frac-
ture the skull, but it was held that it
brought on syncope, the shock result-
ing in death. The knotting of the
stocking around the throat was held
to have been an afterthought, as none
of the symptoms that attend death by
strangulation were present, such as
dilated pupils, thickening of the lips,
etc. When found, the body was re-
clining on the top of the clothes,
which were not disarranged, and there
was no evidence of any struggle.
There were marks on the right arm
and on the right leg, which both doc-
tors declared were evidently the re-
sult of finger nails..
Por some months Mrs. Burns had
been in such a feeble state that she
seldom left her bed, although for three
or four days prior to the tragedy she
had done so. She was a woman of
forty-nine years of age, but the medi-
cal men who performed the autopsy
stated that she looked fully sixty,
The daughter, who is 26 years of
age, was at one time confined in an
insane asylum, but of late she has
lived at home, It is said she is a help-
less invalid, It has not been shown
she ever exhibited any violence. The
father says the girl was in her bed
when he returned home."
Good, Disinfectants.
As a disinfectant we know of noth-
ing as good as permanganate of pot-
ash. It is granulated, and is sold at
about fifty cents a pound ; take as
much as will half fill a teacup, put it
into a gallon of water ; it will be ready
for immediate use ; the color is a rich
purple. It is good to cleanse teeth or
throat, or to put in a bath, Sprinkle
it in dark corners of cupboards, etc.,
in cellars, or wherever there is any
kind of refuse ; in short do everything
with it but drink it. It is cheap, easy,
and efficacious. Now for flies ; buy
someformaldehyde, mix two teaspoon-
fuls to a pint of water, .put some of
this in a saucer in a room, and you
will have any quantity of dead flies to
burn. Chloride of lime is a powerful
disinfectant ; .nee it as much as you
like out of doors, but much of it in the
house is not advisable,

COMMUNICATION.
To The Editor of the Advance.
Dear Sir :-Will you kindly allow
me space for a few words. Last Mon-
day, a farmer, brought a couple of fat
heifers in here, and weighed them on
my scale. He then weighed them on
the Wm. Davies' scale at the station,
and found that they weighed about 50
lbs. less. As this latter weight was the
one the farmer had to accept, he very
naturally objected. Mr, A. Fox, the
weighman, informed him that my
scale was not inspected, and that I
was liable to be prosecuted for weigh-
ing merchandise on it. I wish to say
that this statement is false. Anyone
can see the certificate of inspection at
any time in the scale house, and it
bears date Sept. 15th, 1008.
Yours Very Truly,
J. T. Holmes.
