From a thoroughly reliable source
the facts reciting a case Of terrible
suffering, resulting 10 death TO
three persons by freezing, has Just
reached here. In a section Of
sparsely settled country in the
southwestern part of the county,
known as Napier Ridge, in extreme
poverty, lived q woman named
lsaacs, and her two Legitimate
children, occupying an open cabin
in the woods. The fierce blizzard
which reached this latitude on the
evening Of the 9Th inst, found this
lestitute household lilly prepared
for even ordinary cold weather.
On the morning Of the 9lh-satur
day-which will be remembered for
its severity, the fire 10 the rude
cabin being almo'! out, and no
wood near, the unfortunate woman
placed her two children in a bed
under the Scant covering and set
out To procure fuel. Returning and
when near the house, phe sank
down exhausted. Her father hap.
pened to come that way, anticipa.
ting the results of the extreme DIES.
titution Of the family, and picked
up the benumbed body and carried
it to the house, but too late for hu.
man aid. She never revived. To
add 10 the terrible tale Of suffering,
the two children, during the alb.
senCe Of the mother, had frozen to
death, their dead bodies being
found in the bed cold and stiff.
Another case Of extreme suffer.
ing, but timely aid, is reported
near Wayne G. H. On the day

and to be occupying o shanty with.

them and found that they we're

there being a large family Of sew.

their relief
