From the Bratteboro Watchman Of Friday
MELANCHOLY. In Winhall, Vt. Mrs.
Susan Chaplin, wife of Mr.. Ezra Chapin.
was called upon to visit sick neighbor.
on the morning of the 18th ult with whom
she spent the day. A little before dark
she sat out for home, distance Of about
three quarters of mile, but did not arrive
| there. Mr.. G. was somewhat uneasy on
account Of her not returning in the even
ing but supposing her help still needed,
endesvored to quiet himself until after
breakfast the next morning; then calling al
, a neighbors between, where he was inform
ed that it was probable she had watched
during the night. But he learned that they
supposed she had safely reached home be
fore dark the evening before ; apd at once
concluded she must have pershed in the
night, which was clustering, though not
extremely cold, ia snow having fallen to
turned home again, not knowing but she
might have returned in the night and Ia
ken another apartment BY this time the
nearer neighbUrs were alarmed, and the
. road more carefully searched and she was
found corpse by the side Of the road, a.
bout lfway home. A jury ofinqnest was
called, which could not determine by what
cause she came to her death. There are
circumstances, however, which led most
persons acquainted with them, to a conclu-
sion, that by fit or fright, she either be
! came so entirely lost or deranged, as no
to be able to extricato herself from her dis.
tressing situation. In going home she
would have to pass through neck ofwoods
which connected two large forests, which
is supposed to bea kind ofrunaway for some
wolves which frequent this part ofthe coun
try; this neck is about 100 rods from btI
home. Here it is supposed she was fright
ened, either from what she imagined, o
heard, or saw-in this place one of he
shoes, and near it her apron was found
then farther backward her handkerchief
and still farther her cloak hanging on the
fence-thcn s,jll farther back beyond he
BODY, her other shoe. There were M
marks of violence; either Of man or beast
upon her. 1t was evident, from the state o
her clothes, as well as her knees and tine
outside of her fingers, that she had crep
much during The night; as il appeared sh'
crcpt with her hands clenchcd, her knuck
les being severely bruised. She was foun'
about 9 O'Clock in the morning, and ther
she was not so cold as to he in any conside
rable degree stflened, by which it was sup
posed she might have been alive at breal
of day. In this distressing, unexpected
and almost mysterious manner, mis-. Cha
pin came TO her death.
