We hear from Lancaster County, that during the Continuance of the great Snow which in general was more than three Foot deep, great Numbers of the back Inhabitants suffer’d much for want of Bread; that many Families of New-Settlers for some time had little else to subsist them but the Carcases of Deer they found dead or dying in the Swamps or Runns about their Houses; and although they had given all their Grain to their Cattle, many Horses and Cows are dead, and the greatest Part of the Gangs in the Woods are dead; that the Deers which could not struggle through the Snow to the Springs are believed to be all dead, and many of those which did get into the Savannahs are also dead, ten, twelve and fifteen being found in the Compass of a few Acres of Land. The Indians fear the Winter has been so fatal to the Deer, Turkeys, &c. in these Northern Parts, that they will be scarce for many Years. We also hear that a young Woman in Derry Township, attempting to get Home (about a Mile) as soon as she came within sight of her Father’s House turned out the Horse which she had borrow’d of her Neighbour, as he directed her; but not being able to make Way through the Snow, she threw off her Cloaths, and attempted to return on the Horses Footing; but after much struggling, as appear’d by her Tracts, she froze to Death.
