         A Child Frozen to Death in Brothertown
         
         We learn from O. D. FOWLER, Esq., of Brothertown,
       that on Sunday morning last a female child, about
       eleven months old, belonging to SARAH SIMONS of 
       that town, was found alone, in her mother's shanty, 
       frozen to death. It seems that on the Monday morn-
       ing previous SARAH left her baby and two other 
       children, a boy and a girl, the boy being only
       eight and the girl ten years old, for the purpose,
       as she said, of going to work for a neighbor. There
       was very little food in the house and the older
       children getting hungry went to some of the neigh-
       bors and begged for something to eat. When asked
       where the baby was they replied that "mother had
       taken her with her." On Sunday morning some per-
       sons while going by the shanty, noticed that the
       fire was out, and thinking something was the mat-
       ter went in and found the baby dead, and the other
       children absent. SARAH is rather a dissolute 
       character, and it is supposed she went on a spree,
       and forgot all about her infant until too late.
