as he could, but receiving no reply, he got
up and searched the house. Not finding
the object Of his search, he hastily dressed

barn and then to several Of the neighbors,
making inquiries After many unsuccess-
full calls, he returned home, concluding that
his wife had left his bed and board without
any just provocation; but before he had de-
termined upon what course he would pur-

thing coated with ice. She went to one Of
the neighbors for help and search was at
once instituted About eight o'clock in the
evening he was found lying on the ground
helpless. He was conscious and could talk
80 as to be understood, but his left side
seemed to be paralyzed. He had lain there
about four hours in the piercing cold wind
with no overcoat and could not have sur

curry was nearly at zero. Mr.. Haskell is
still helpless but just how much of his pres
