TRAGEDY OF THE PAsT.-The death Of Mrs.
Rebecca Chandler, whose funeral took place
Monday afternoon, revives the recollection Of
the sad fate OF her husband Benjamin Chandler,
who persisted in q snow storm in the White
Mountains, some fifteen or twenty years ago.
Accustomed to travel Mr.. Chandler had gone to
New Hampshire on q visit in autumn, and ono
fine afternoon started on an ascent of Mt. Wash
ington without guide. The sun shone very
brightly without indication Of anything but u
pleasant afternoon, and Mr. Chandler journeyed
on Indifferent to the distance he was putting be-
tween himself and his friends. Suddenly q
snow squs!l overspread the mountains, as
frequently happens in that region, binding Pc
destrans and obliterating all traces OF the path.
In this storm Mr.. Chandler lost his way, was
overcome by fatigue in his waDderings aud fall
ing, persisted under the snow. The next Spring
his bones were found, but stripped Of all cloth
ing and flssh the wild animals Of the mountains
having preyed en- his body. Near by his shoe
aud watch were found, by which the skeleton o
the unfortunate man was recognised

completing the T., it spreads out in triangular
shape, the sides OF the triangle forming the sup.
