The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Vienna, April 25. They write from Chemnitz in Hungary, that some persons of Frauenmarkt, in the county of Honten, having chased for some time a wild boar, and having followed it into the mountains, farther perhaps than they had ever penetrated before, they saw on the snow the vestiges of a human creature, which they followed, and which led them to a cavern, where to their great astonishment, they found a young girl, quite naked, very plump, of a dark brown colour, and to appearance from fifteen to eighteen years of age. At first she set up cries, but wept not. She gazed afterwards with surprise on those round her, and suffered herself at last to be led away by them. They carried her to the hospital of Carpsen, a little royal town, in the county of Altfal, near Chemnitz, where they clothed her, and made her to take nourishment. Hitherto she has constantly refused all the dressed meats which have been laid before her, and she feeds only upon raw victuals, the rinds of trees, roots, and other things of the like nature, which she devours very greedily. It is difficult to conjecture how she came into the forest, where she was discovered, and how she lived there.
