From the Prairie du chisn couv;er.

The Rev. John knibbs, the Methodist
preacher on Eastman Mission, in this
Crawford. Wis., county, on Tuesday,, the
23d of Dec, started from Mr.. Larran's to
go to Mr.. Browns, but there being no road
broke, the snow some two feet deep, cover
ed with crust, his horse soon cut his legs
which, becoming sore and covered with
bloody that he refused to travel, and Mr..
knibbs tied him to tree, and attempted
on foot to reach a house, by breaking a
path through the crust on the snow. And
though he was at no time; probably, over
two miles from house, yet he found noue
Once he was heard to halloo but the per-
son hearing, supposed it TO be from some
neighbors' boys, and paid no attention to
lit. Mr.. Knibbs continued in this mean
dering and bewildered condition until Sat
nr,lay the 9th, near night, when he reach
ed house near Eagle Point, where the
people received him very kindly, and CON
|veyed him to Ralph Smith, Esq, where
he received the kind attention of the
family for a week, and for which he says
he never can be sufficiently thankful.
Mr.. Knibbs spent the nights in the snow,
wrapped up in his horse blanket, and trav-
eled as best be could in the day time
Three times he came to his horse, but the
drifting snow had so filed his tracks that
he was not aware of them. He was with
out food or drink from Tuesday morning
till Saturday night, FIVE days and FOUR
nights. Both feet were badly frozen, and
bis hands slightly. One foot, supposed to
be the worst was put into cold water and is
| like TO be saved; the other not frozen
$50 bad was not put into water, and it
ha- had to be taken off at the instep: For
the first two days he suffered much from
hunger, but after .ha, he felt but little
want Of food, but he suffered intensely all
the time from thirst, the snow not supply
ing the place of water. The nearing was
so affected thabshe could not hear a man
speak rod from him, and his mind WAS
thought to be somewhat affected.
On the Sd of January, and as soon as
his situation was known here, DR.. Mason
and Rev. w. Mullen, went for him, l6
miles distant. The foot was taken off that
night, and the next day, he was brought
in covered carriage, placed on runners,
into town and is lodged at Mr.. Alonzo
Pelton's, where he is doing as we'll as could
be expected, having the best of medical
care from Drs. Benedict and Mason, and
the best nursing from the family. For
half a century, since l became familiar
with the freezing of men thus lost, this is
the first and only case Of enc SO far as l
know, that continued SO long exposed and
escaped with life. One thing, I think is
certain, that is, Mr.. Knbbs would have
frozen to death the first night, If he had
had any strong drink in him. His preser-
walton, probably, under the Providence.
of God, is owing to his total abstinau .e
il from all alcoholic drinks.
