not found until Sunday afternoon. On

and she was not seen again until Sunday
when she was found by Peter
Collins, who lives in the north part of
Lyndon. She had slept the night before
in Mr.. Collins shed.chamber and subsisted
during her absence on apples. Searching
parties were soon formed from the towns
of Danville, Lyndon, St. Johnsbury and

hunting for her when she was found in
Mr.. Collins orchard. She was brought
home very much fatigued and chilled but |
otherwise quite well. The death of her
father was a great blow to her and since |
then she had severe attack of the measles |
which greatly weakened her already over
worked system.
