Appar- ently it had lain in a snow-bank on Peel street for six or seven weeks. It was wrapped in nig carpet. The body was taken tothe morgue, wheri< it was found that a cord, like a shoe-string, was wound around the babe's ueck, and pulled tiyht enough to strangle it. This, the poltcc consider, is sutticlent evidence that the child was murdered by its unnatural mother. The Atiorncy-Uen- eral has l>een noiitied, and it is expected that a special ofllcer will be sent here to look into the case The body is that of a healthy, well formed infant. Thocoroni-r tliinas il was alive when left m the snon- I bank. eXAMINATrON FREE Defects scarcely noticeable In children assume dangerous proportions with advancing years.
