A SAD END.—Mrs. Won Gibbing.3, near Alma, Iluron Road, committed suicide by hanging herself on Friday morning last.

The deceased was married to Mr. Gibbings over 30 years ago and the couple and family have al ways lived a Christian and happy life. For years the deceased was an active S. S. worker. Mr. Whitings ohms the property in Virden, Manitoba, which Jae was this season assisting a son to work. Mrs. Gibbings thought she would like to join her husband; and some time ago left to join him. A few Weeks ago the lady returned, accompanied by a neighbor, Last Friday morning the deceased asked her son if he was going to do some plowing and he replied "yes." In his absence the deceased went to the barn. It would appear she secured a plow line, tied it into a loop and fasten• ed it around a beam. The fatal step was taken off Blend roller. A very short time after, being missed, the corpse was found. The features were calm and peace- ful looking; the body only about three inches from the ground. just at this time coroner Scott, of Seaforth, was passing. He viewed the remains, but (lid not conaider an inquest necessary. Mr. Gibbings was telegraphed and was expected here yesterday afternoon.
