Was thrown into a state of intense ex-
citement and comutotion when it be-
came known that Minnie Clements.
daughter of Mt'. Isaac Clements. of the
8th concession, had made an attempt
to end her life. For some titno past
the unfurtunategirl has been in a de-
mented state of mind over a recent
marriage affair, in which she was in-
volved and which doubtless preyed so
much on her mind as to derange her
mental faculties, nut it was never
thoiiht she would resort to any such
rash act as that attempted. Without
signifying her intentions to any per-
son she secured her father's razor and
proceeded to the bush whete she in-
flicted a horrible gash on the one side
of bet- neck and throat several inches
long. which almost -ended her life. The
wound, however, was not sufficiently
deep ns to cause death, and evidently
regretting the deed, she hurried hack
to her home. On reaching there she
was almost exhausted and staggered
in at the dour faint and bleeding. The
services of a doctor were immediately
summoned and the wound was dress-
ed but it is doubtful whether she will
recover. The circumstances surround-
ing the case are indeed sad and the
father, who is at present confined to
his bed suffering from the effects of
several broken ribs,the result of an un-
fortunete accident. 1188 the sympathy
