FOrty.fiye Years in a Cave.

A Dingman's Ferry (Pa.) correspond
ent of the New York Times writes:
Austin Sheldon, who has lived forforty-
one years helife of hermit in cave in
lonely place in the mountains nine miles
southeast of this village, was found
frozen to death in a deep snow-drift near
the entrance of his cave on Friday even
ing last A terrible storm of snow and
wind had prevailed in the mountains for
two days and Tuesday evening, con-
trary to his custom, Sheldon had visited
the cabin of some hoop-pole cutters,
about mile from his abode, to buy
something to eat, he having been with
out food for two or three days. The
cutters invited the hermit to remain with
them all night, and not to brave the fury
of the storm by returning to his cave
He had not spent night from his cave
since he Inhabited it, and he refused to
stay at the cabin. The snow piled in
such drifts before the storm was over
that no communication with the settle
ments outside could be obtained until
Friday. The cutters themselves were
nearly frozen to death. The hermit, al
though nearly seventy-two years old,
managed to reach within few feet of his
cave, when he was overcome and buried
ten feet deep by the snow. His features
were fearfully distorted, ana his knees
were drawn up to his chin.
1t does not seem credible that this
man, who buried himself in the wilder
ness for over half his life, and who at
last met so terrible death, might have
lived in ease and luxury, and died sur
rounded by friends in the best society
He was born near Stony Creek, Conn,
in 1906, and when he was twenty-siX
years old married lady named Tuthill,
the daughter of wealthy gentleman
living near the city of Hartford. Shell.
don's family was the leading one in the
town of Bradford, where he has brother
and sister still living. His wife died ten
years after their marriage, and Sheldon
soon afterward disappeared. He had al
ways been an enthusiast in religion, and
had often expressed wish to 90 to a
heather country as missionary. His
friends believed that he had gone to some
such country, and, never hearing from
him, thought he had died there.
Forty five years ago the country in the
northeastern part of Pennsylvania was
still in great part primitive wilderness.
Lumbermen had commenced invading
the forests, however. In 1888 party
of prospecting numbering men made a
camp on the northern slope of the Moosic
Mountains, in Wayne County, Pa, and
one day discovered cave occupied by a
man, miles from any human habitaton.
He said he had lived there a year, and
had been roaming the forests of Connect
iCut, Vermont and New York looking
for such apace as his cave for five years
He gave his name as Austin Sheldon,
but told nothing of his past The lum-
bermen growing more plenty, he left his
cave and was heard of no more by them
In 1S43 two hunters discovered a man
living in the cave near which the hermit
was found dead on Friday. This was

Austin Sheldon. He told them he had
not seen a human being for ten years.
He continued to live there, but nothing
was known about him until last summer
when paragraph appeared in the
papers, mentioning the fact that a man
named Austin Sheldon was living as a
hermit in cave in the wilderness of
Pike County, Pa, his past being mys-
terry. This item was seen by Sheldon's
relatives in Connecticut, and brother
and sister visited his cave. They offered
him everything that wealth could bestow
if he would leave his cave and 90 home
with them, but he refused. From these
relatives the facts as to Sheldon's early
life were learned.
Sheldon seldom left his cave, and then
only to obtain fish, game, roots or berries
for his food. At the time of his death
he was bent and wrinkled, with long,
matted gray locks and a beard reaching
almost to his waist The clothes he wore
he had not taken off his body for twenty
two years. They were tattered and
ragged, and held together by hickory
withes. The hermit never washed. and
MS lace anu 0d0uS were lnCruSteQ Win
dirt. His cave was about eight feet
square, dark, damp and loathsome. He
slept in a rude chair, surrounded with
bones, filth and rubbish of all kinds. He
was very taciturn, speaking willingly
only on the subject of religion. 1t was
his boast that he had read his Bible
through nearly 100 times, and that he
communed personally with God and the
ancient prophets. When he walked he
used long staff, and his old, well.worn
Bible was fastened to his leathern girdle.
Forest fires frequently swept over the
mountains about the hermit's cave, and
many times it was surrounded on all
sides by fire. The hermit, saying that
he was in the hands of God, never volun-
tarily sought safety when thus imperiled,
and courageous natives often saved his
life at the risk of their own. He was
often saved from death by freezing in
the same manner. His only explanation
of his living in the wilderness alone was
that he wanted nothing to take his
thoughts from God. As he had consid
cradle money, according to his relatives,
at the time he left Connecticut, many
believe that he buried 1t about the cave.
