singular
death -- A death occurred in this township on Sunday last,
under strange circumstances.
Miss P. M. Tisdale, daughter
of Mr. Joseph Tisdale, on Monday or Tuesday of last week, visited
Mr. Nevett's residence, and went across his farm to Mr. Wm.
McCall's, a short distance from Mr. N.'s.
It is supposed that she
reached Mr. McCall's, but finding no one at home she started to
return to Mr. Nevett's, and got as far as the road.
Shortly afterward some of
Mr. McCall's family passed along the road and noticed her standing
against the fence as if about to climb over it. They spoke to her,
but received no answer.
They went up to her, and,
finding that she was insensible, assisted her into the buggy and
conveyed her to their residence, where she was kindly cared for
until her death, which occurred on Sunday.
She remained insensible
during the whole time, so it is impossible to ascertain the cause of
her death. It is supposed, however, that in crossing the fields she
slipped upon ice and fell with such force upon her head as to render
her insensible and ultimately cause her death.
