Woman Frozen to Death
Mrs. Jane Leatherow, mother of Mr. C. and Jos. Jackson of this
county, living with Nelson Bundeay, went on a visit to some
friends
early last month. On Wednesday the 13th of December she
started for
home. On her way she stopped at Mr. A. Morgan's to
ascertain if she
could not get home a nearer way than the road. Mr. M. told
her the
track across was not broken and endeavored to persuade her to
keep in
the usual road. But she would not even stop to warm, said
she was in
haste to get home, and that she would risk going
across. Mr. Bundeay
and Mr. Jackson came to town on the Saturday following.
Meeting Mr.
Steenrod, in whose neighborhood Mrs. Leatherow had been visiting,
Mr.
Jackson asker after the health of his mother. Mr. S. looked
surprised and told him his mother had started for home on the
previous Wednesday. On the next morning Mr. J. instituted
an
enquiry, and when he saw Mr. Morgan and learned that she had
taken
the unbroken track, the truth flashed upon him that she might
have
lost her way and been frozen to death. The remainder of the
day was
employed by him in a fruitless search for her. On the
morning of
Tuesday he, with a large number of the neighbors, renewed
the
search. They finally found her track and following it
discovered her
body far from the right path. She had evidently lost her
way and had
wandered about until, apparently exhausted, she sank down on her
face, and died without a struggle in that position. This
was
apparent as the snow was left undisturbed all around her.
Mrs. L.
was about seventy-two years of age.

The Cholera
As it is now morally certain that the cholera will make its
appearance amongst us on or before the arrival of steamboats at
our
wharfs, it behooves the citizens of Burlington to take such
measures
as are calculated to divest it of its violent character, and to
prevent as far as possible its extension; and for that purpose I
would respectfully recommend the adoption of the following
report,
as it embraces in my estimation, nearly every measure calculated
to
accomplish the object. H. Houghton, M.D., General Board of
Health
[a lengthy story about Cholera, its causes, how it is spread, how
to
prevent, etc. followed]
