Litchfield Enquirer

An Incorrigible Drunkard.—On Saturday morning a woman named Susan Hood, was found by the street inspector of the 1st Ward, in Markettfield street, at half past 6 o'clock, lying on the side-walk, so drunk that she could not stand, and venting vollies of abuse upon every one that passed by. She was placed on a cart, carried to Bridewell, and stowed away, and complaint being made at the police office that she was a drunken vagrant, she was sent to the Penitentiary for six months. This female, who is now between 48 and 50 years old, has been a regular drunkard ever since she has been a woman, and has spent about 30 years of her life in the Penitentiary, including the short intervals between the completion of one term of service and the commencement of another. As all hope of her reformation is extinct, the probability is that she will end her days in prison.—N. Y. Sun.
