Melancholy Occurrence. Mr. Crandall, of this town, gives the following information respecting the death of Mr. Edward Greene, the driver of the mail stage, between this place and Hartford. He started from Ashford. (Con.) on Monday morning, with the Hartford mail stage. After he had arrived within five miles of Mr. Cornell's tavern in Glocester, he found it impossible to proceed with the stage, he hired a man to proceed with him on foot to Cornell's, where he arrived after a severe time, and left the mail. On his return to Ashford, he perished from the severity of the weather. Mr. Crandall informs that he met by his side in the sleigh, and found he was much overcome by fatigue and cold, and was drowsy. He wrapped the buffalo skins around him and endeavored to arouse and keep him awake, by rubbing and shaking him; but in vain. In short time, he was dead. He then covered him over with the buffalo skins, took the reins and conveyed his body to his uncle's, in Ashford. He was a respectable young man, 22 years old. Journal.
