In Bedford, N. H. Johnathan Campbell aged %.
The circumstances of his death are awful almost
beyond parallel. On Tuesday, Dec. 80, he left
home in the morning, to go to his work, having with
him considerable quantity of rum. He had not
proceeded far, when under the influence probably of
what he had already drank he stopped and contnu-
ed drinking until he became entirely stupid and in
sensible: In this situation he remained undiscov-
cred, without food and in the open air, as we have
reason to believe, until Friday, Jan. Cd, when the
exertons of his faithful dog brought him back to life
and consciousness. Dreadfully frozen and benumb-
ed as he was by this long exposure, the vital prnci
pie was not so far extingushed but that he was able
breach the house he had left. After lingering
more than week, in extreme misery he died.
