TERRIBLE EXPOSURE AND SUFFERING
A woman by the name Of McCurdy, was
found in the woods about three miles above
this village on the Morristown road, on
Thursday evening last, in the last stages of
exhaustion produced by exposure and starva-
ton. 1t seems that on Wednesday, the day
before Thanksgiving, she had visited this
village for the purpose ofobtaining work for
her needle, and failing in this, had started
on foot for Morristown. She was much ex-
hausted, and faint, and was compelled to ait
down by the road side a number Of lines to
rest-and observing the passers by stare ut
her, as she thought us If they supposed her
intoxicated, she retired into the woods to
escape observation, and sitting upon the
ground between two trees, she fell asleep.
When she awOke, she found she could not
use her hands and feet. In this state she
laid till the ninth day, exposed to the frost
and snow and rain, unable to attrt ct the at
tention Of those who were passing near her,
and till she was accidently discovered
When found, the circulation had nearly
ceased, and she could have survived but a
short time. She was taken into the house
of Mr.. Benjamin Nevin, and well carried for.
