A WOMAN was frozen to death, on the
Minnesota prairIes last week, uear Hastings.
A search revealed that she had beon buried
in the snow, within few rods Of her resi-
dsnce. A little boy. her grandson, was found
ucar her, insonsible. with his hands and feet
badly frozen. Upon recovering his senses, hs
said his grandmother got lost in the snow
and fearing she would freeze, she cried loud
ly for help, but her cries were not heard
When she became too much benumbed to
proceed further, she took of some of her
clothing and wrapped it around the boy
which was probably the means OF saving his
life. ---E 1880
