The Mirror reports a case of death from cold and destitution in the
Eighth ward.  An aged lady, Catharine Butterbaugh, was the victim.
Age and epilepsy were, doubtless, the cause, aided by exposure during
the present severe weather.  She is said not to have been without
means to provide herself with necessary food and other comforts, money
having been found on her person, but her infirmities disabled her from
procuring them.  She is the reputed owner of the tenement in which she
lived, and drew a pension of $8 per month from the U. S. Government.
A son-in-law resides in Loudensville, to whose residence she was
removed yesterday, and from which she will be buried to-day.
