IMPRISONED In A CLOSET.

Sutferings of an Old Lady in New Ramp.
shlre-Her Narrow Escape from Death.
The Boston Journal contains the fol-
lowing in reference to the accidental
imprisonment of an elderly lady in
closet in her house in the town of Hill,
n. H., on Saturday, which was briefly
referred to in our kilograms "About
4 O'Clock in the afternoon, as resident
OF the town was driving home from his
work, through a sparsely settled dis
trict, and passing the house of one of
his neighbors, he thought he heard
sound like groan issuing from it. Ap-
prehensive that something was wrong,
he made his way through the snow to
the house and gained an entrance. The
rooms were very cold, and there were
no signs that any one had been about
since morning. In moment he heard
faint moan, apparently coming from
dark closet near the front door. He I'M
fastened the door of this and beheld on
the floor the inanimate form of Mrs.
Salon P. Sanborn, an elderly lady of
feeble health. The limbs of the woman
were stiff with cold, and she was unable
to articulate distinctly. He carried her
into the sitting room and built fire.
and then summoned the nearest neigh
Dor. A physician was also called, and
the other members of the family sent
for. After being restored to conscious
ness in the evening, Mrs. Sanborn re-
lated the story of her terrible sufferings
during the day. She had been left
alone III the morning, the head of the
family being at his work, and at her re-
quest the wife going away to attend q
sick neighbor. Soon after she was
seized with fainting spell, and tried
to walk to the door to get fresh air, but
in her weakness and confusion acct
dentally opened the closet door, which
suddenly closed, with strong spring
lock upon the outside, and she, unable
to help herself, fell to the floor. This
was the only part of her experience
which she remembers. She had recol-
lections, however, of a partial realiza-
ton OF her condition. She could hear
teams passing at Intervals, and she
would try to make herself heard, but in
her weakness she was unable to arouse
any one. She heard the clock strike
hourly until noon, when, convinced that
she could not survive until the family
returned, she gave up all hope, and,
unable to make any further effort for
relief, awaited death in her dark prison.
She said she dreamed of attempting to
cut holes through the door near the
lock. An examination proved that the
poor woman had in her 1a1iri17ro found
knife and cut two holes through the
door, as she had related, but the open
ing did not enable her to push back the
bolt. Her story and the discoveries
made showed that the sufferings of the
woman during the nine hours she was
imprisoned must have been terrible.
Her frozen limbs testified to the cold
which she had endured, while the
wounds upon her hands showed how
she had struggled. Notwithstanding
her age and feeble health, there is
possibility that she may recover"

An Oft.TOld Tale.

A young gent of this city visited his
girl the other evening, and, as luck
would have it, they manged to secure
the parlor to themselves-her father be-
ing in another room. Suddenly the old
gent heard the loud exclamation: "Dear
George, how cold your nose is 70 and
Immediately he began to inspect the
premises. He discovered the lovers
seated on the extreme ends of the sofa,
and wouldn't have suspected anything
but for the powder that was on the shout
der of the youth. As it was the latter
left without his hat, and feels rather sore
about the affair.-Daily Bluff city.

THE MEXICAN TROUBLE.

We learn by the dispatches that the
Presidents cabinet, last Tuesday, deter
mined that letter should be addressed
to the Mexican government
by tho secretary of state,
notifying that government that il
must take immediate STEPS 20 prevent
raids across the Rio Grande into Texas
otherwise our military commander in
Texas will be instructed TO follow the
marauders into Mexico and punish them
upon that territory. The action of the
cabinet does not involve the question of
formal Reorganization of the Diaz gov
eminent, bu. merely deals with it as the
only party that can be addressed. Some
weeks must necessarily elapse before a
response to our demand can be received,
and hence there is not likely TO be any
immediate invasion Of Mexican soil by
United States troops.
