The following is an extract from a pri-
vate letter, written by a teacher at
Springfield Cal, Nov. 18th:
Last Friday a terrible storm came up
during the afternoon. We were without
wood. and being ignorant of these biz
yards started to go home, two and a
half miles distant. l soon lost all idea
of roads or direction, and must have
wandered around in a circle for nearly
an hour. had became nearly exhaust
ed when suddenly came to shanty
standing as it seemed to me directly in
my road. / made my way to the door
and was admitted, finding family in a
terrible situation. The man had gone to
Springfield tor provisions and all they
had in the house in the line of eatables
was few handfuls OF flour, and worse
than this they were without wood, a
mere armful being all they had. We
spent the long evening, and night in bed.
When morning dawned the storm had
abated but the door was blockaded. To
open it was impossible, the woman said
if they could get to the barn, they could
find some pieces of wood. We raised the
window and seeing light through the
snow that reached to the top, a girl of
twelve offered to jump through. She
did so and also made her way to the
barn. The cow was MIXED, some pieces
of boards and blocks were found, and
five of us breakfasted on thickened milk.
About noon some people came to our re-
lief. reached home that night and am
very thankful to be alive to tell you this
experience. An old lady accidently left
alone persisted in trying to carry wood
from pile only a few feet from the
house.
