rowly escaped death by freezing last
Saturday night. He left the village in
the evening to 60 to his fathers house
on Gilbert square, some three miles dis
tant. The wind came up suddenly, the
roads drifted and the young man and
his horse were scarcely able to make
progress. The man pulled off wet
mitten for some purpose and it forze
stiff almost instantly so that he could
not put it on again, and was obliged to
proceed with bare hand. Mr.. Simp-
son, it seems, fearing trouble, started
out and met him some distance from the
house, the horse and boy being so dis
abled that it is questionable if they
would ever have reached the house. The

that they ratified like bones. The horse
too was chilled so that, on Sunday, i
was doubtful if he could be saved. II
was one of the most severe nights eve
known in town.
