HoRRIBLE CRUELTY AND OEATH.-The Hart
ferd CT Review of the l4th contains notice Of
one of the most melancholy deaths we have seen
on record for many days. On Tuesday morning,
the Sd of January, between and o'clock. a
wagon loaded with wood drove up to store in that
CITY, driven By man named Vets, from CRANKY,
Is miles distant. The morning was one of the
coolest known for May years, and lad about IA
wears old, named Gllet, who had been living with
Vets for some months, had been forced to ride the
horse all the way. He was very thinly clad-hay-
ing on thin cotton trowsers, WORKOUT stockings,
and short, thin jacket They started at about oae
o'clock in the morning. and on arriving at the store
Vets ordered the boy to get off. He could Rot do
so, and several bystanders immediately assisted
him I,was found that he was unable 10 stand.
He was taken into the store, and both feet were
found to be frozen to tie knees. A physician was
sent for-his limbs, being put into cold water,
sweed up to an enormous size, blood started from
them in several places, the lads suderngs were
excruciating: and it was decided that his life could
be saved only by amputeting both limbs at the
knee, as modification had already commenced
He was sent 10 his friends, and on Wednesday, his
agony being too great for longer endurance, pre-
parations were made for taking OF bis limbs. 1t
was then found that his whole back, from the
shoulders TO the hips, was in state of mortifca-
ton. having been completely frozen and thawed
Before night he was dead. A legal investigation
into the treatment he received from Vets will be
had.
