LOCAL MATTERS
Suffering Among The Poor - A Colored Woman Froze To Death! - This severely cold winter and the extraordinary price
of fuel is putting the poor to a severe test. About five o'clock last evening the body of an old colored woman,
named REED, was found in a shanty on Hunter st., lifeless and frozen stiff. The woman was thinly clad and had curled
herself up beside the stove where she perished of cold.-
Coroner TREAT took the body to the Dead House and is holding an inquest.
This woman had lived in the quarter of the city where she died more than thirty years and raised a family of children
who are scattered over the world. She had a sort of life interest we are told, in the cabin where she had made
her home so long.
P. S. - The jury found that Mrs. REED died of cold and starvation.

PLUNDERING A POST OFFICE DRAWER - A BOY CAUGHT IN THE ACT - A day or two since
Mr. James VICK, lost the key to his Post Office drawer either by dropping it
in the street or by leaving it in drawer. He had reason to suspect on Saturday
that the key had fallen into bad hands and was used on that day to enable the
party having it to plunder his drawer. He resolved to watch the Post Office
yesterday and did so catching the rogue in the act. Mr. VICK and Geo.
FRAUNBERGER were standing together near the Post Office when a boy of about
fifteen years came and unlocked the drawer and removed letters therefrom. He
was seized at once and called to account. He denied at first that he had
stolen anything on Saturday last, finally confessed that he had taken some
letters and after removing contents had thrown them into the river. How much
he had realized in this way is uncertain. The name of the lad is Roderick, and
this is not the first difficulty in which he has been involved within a short
time. He was taken before Com. STORRS and committed.
