ALMOST INCREDIBLE! A letter from Fort Pitt, a small settlement in the Saskatchewan Valley, British America, narrates the following horrible incident that is said to have taken place in that settlement some weeks ago A French Canadian had killed several pigs, and his little children had looked on in approving wonder on the process. Soon after the parents went to church, and on their return were met at the door by their oldest child, Gustave, an eight-year-old boy, who exclaimed in childish glee, I have killed little piggy; come and see." He was covered with blood. What "they saw may be inferred from the confession of the boy as to what had taken place. When the parents had gone to church, Gustave proposed to his little brother, that they should play killing pig. In this request, it is supposed that the unfortunate little fellow acquiesced. The youngest was to be the pig, the eldest the butcher. Gustave eagerly assisted his brother to undress for the tragedy, and, taking a small rope, tied him down securely to a rough lounge that stood in the room; he then procured the butcher-knife that his father had used in slaughtering the pigs the day before, and plunged it into the throat of his passive and helpless brother. The wound was a mortal one, and it is supposed that death must have immediately resulted. After the child had bled his little life away, the unnatural brother, with the most in- credible heartlessness, took the cord which confined the body to the lounge, and, tying one end around the feet of the corpse, threw the other over the beam, and, lending his weight and strength, hoisted the body to the position in which it was found then, not satisfied with the programme thus far carried out, the little butcher must needs disem- bowel his dead brother almost in the exact manner in which his father had the pigs the day before.
