Mr.. John Canada, who lives about
three miles from this place, on the
Turnpike, was found near the r. r.
one morning last week with his hands
and his feet frozen. His feet and
legs were frozen to his knees, and
hands and arms to the elbows. He
had evidently been to Clyde, and
started home intoxicated, and being
so beastly drunk fell down at the
place where found and could go no
further. Two bottles of wbiskey, we
are informed, were found with him.
His physician when first called pro-
nOunced his case hopeless, but at the
present writing, it is thought he may
perhaps recover with the loss of one
hand, and perhaps one foot. He has
been insensible since he was found,
and not able to speak, or tell where
he got the liquor, that produced the
intoxicatiOn. He is a poor man who
lives by his daily toll, and has a wife
and eight children, six of whom are
dependent on his labor for their sup
port.
