more light on this latter subject than the
most profound Shakespearian can on the
question first propounded. If the system is

Chicago Herald.
The most pathetic case in Bonhom-
nlie county (where alone seventy per-
sons froze to DEATH is that of Farmer
Field, near Avon. He had been to
town to sell some corn. The storm
broke out on his return trip. His
horse stumbled and fell and could not
be made to rise again. Farmer Field
confined on his way on foot and had
gotten nearly home, when exhaustion
and cold seized him and he fell down
and died. Towards evening his wife,
seized with terror and unrest, dressed
herself and went out to search for her
husband, leaving the two little chill
dren in the house by warm stove.
After stumbling around for thousand
Yards in the binding snow she, too,
became benumbed and stumbled over
something in the road. She fell and
died. The next day the neighbors
found her frozen stiff in the road, lean
ing over the corpse of her husband.
He had been that something which
had brought her to the ground. The
two little children were likewise found
dead in the house, the fire having gone
out in the house when the mother had
not returned, and the little ones freez-
ing to death.
