In connection with the influenza epidemio, the Sydney Morning htrald mentions that Mrs (JJayiield, agod 70, an old and well-known resident of Parramatta, waa the subject of a sensational occurrence. It appears that on Friday she was suffering so much from the malady that her mind became deranged. Seeing a funeral passing the door, she ordered the two young women who were attending on her to go and. olose the Bhutters. As soon as they had left the room the old lady rau out into the back and jumped down a well. One of the young, .women returned directly afterwards, and net seeing Mrs Clayfield in her room she instituted a search, and running into the yard she saw Mrs Clayfield's head just, rising to the surface of the water. She ac once grasped the old lady, and held her above water till assistance came.
