Terrible A<ivcntUra ON IA Prairie.

S. H. Packark Esq. Ian Iowa editor and law

the Sioux Rapids and Fort Dodge. About
three hours after he started a heavy snow storm
burst upon him, accompanied by high wind
from Northwest. knowing the danger of at
tempting to cross those large praires in such a
storm he turned back and attempted to retrace
his steps, but soon found it was impossible for
man or beast TO face the storm; he there fore
proceed to the next house 40 mles) before
nightfall. But his horse having broken through
the ice several times became afraid go upon
the ice, and he was delayed many times until
night overlook him at slough abaut half way
across the pfarie. Here he found it impossi
BILE to induce the horse to go upon the ice, and
while searching for better crossing, the ice
broke with him and let him into the water a
bove his knees He endeavored to get to the
shore but the ice broke at every step, he strug-
gled on through the ice snow and water dis
tance of twenty or thirty feet before he came to
firm ice.
lie at once attempted to remove his shoes
and stockigs, but they were so encased in ice
that it was impossible. Convinced that he
must remain where he was until morning, and
that his only safety was is keeping in motion
he commenced running upon the ice, and contin-
ued to do so until daylight the next morning,
when, having succeeded in getting his herse a.
cross the slough, he started on foot, as he suppo
sed, towards Fort Dodge. After walking about
two mile, and half he had turned around and
was going back; he imediately retraced his
steps, and walked all day dragging his frozen
feet though the snow deep, aud at times knee
deep, his horse following him, and was again
overtaken by night, about three miles from a
house. Here he left his horse, and started on
hoping to reach the house in an hour or two,
but he wasso faint and weary that he fell fire.,
qucntly and was nine hours in walking the last
three miles. His sensations during this time
were peculiar; the road appeared to be embroi-
dered in most beautiful colors. Satisfied that
his mind was wondering,he he endeavored to dl.
vert his mind from The consideration Of this sub
ject but in vain; If he looked at the side Of
the road it appeared to be walled up with hogs
lying on theil backs. He reached the house Of
a Mr.. Welch about O'Clock in the morning -

Curious Case,

The Cadz (OhoJ Repu'iictn says that Mrs.
Birney of Tippecanoe, Harrison county, OHIO,
a highly respectable lady, and n member Of the
Presbyterian Church, during peculiar coudi-
ton Of her physical and mental organization
has preached a sermon halt an hour long, every
other Sunday at ten o'clock, for eighteen years
While preaching, she reclines upon bed. Her
instructions are generally excellent, and abound
in scrptural quotations; but when she RECEIVERS
her consciousness she has no recollection what
ever of what she has been saying Several
years ago her case excited the attention OF sew
eral medical gentlemen. who, while they had
the utmost confidence in her sincerity, could
give no satisfactory explanation OF the mystery,
-Sanlnshy Register.
Daring our residence in Cadiz, some IT years
age, we twice vs ted the resdeDc of MIS- Bir-
ney, and on each occasion there must have been
over five hundred persouS there to hear her
preaching" In the morning about s or 8
o'clock, she becomes sick at the stomach and
goes to bed. and for a while means and twists
herself as if suffering great pain. She then falls
into what appears to be n natural sleep ard re-

rent tone Of vocee; but in few moments her
utterance becomes clear and distinct and her
manner quite animated. Her discourses are
from an hour to two hours in length, and are
fully equal in matter and manner, to the aver
age pulpit sermons of country preachers. She
quotes the scriptures frequently, and always ac-
curately. When she is about closing her voice

We have never yet seen or heard a Satistacto

we believe nothing precisely like it is reported
in any ofthe med cal books. That this strange
phenomenon is the resnt of disease there is no
doubt We were told that before it manifested
itself in its present form, Mrs. Birney greatly
suffered with pains in her limbs, like rheuma-
tsm, which first began near the ancle joints,
and gradually travelled upwards until they
reached the abinal column; from thence they
continued to work their way up until they be-
came seated in the brain, and soon thereafter
the disease assumed its psesent type. She is

THE GAME LAw.--Some persons in the vi
cinity of Cadiz appear to have forgotten that a
stringent Game Law was passed in April, 1857.
For their benefit we will state some Of its pro.
visions, as the present time is included in its
prohibitions. This act makes it unlawful for
any person at any time after the 1st day of Feb
ruary, and before the 18th day of September,
to catch, kill or destroy, or to pursue with such
intent, any quail wild turkey, or Virginia pat
ridge, ruffed grouse, or pheasant, pennated
grouse, or prairie chicken, woodcock or wild
deer. And any person so offending shall be
fined, not less than two, nor more than ten dol
lars, for each offence, and costs of prosecution
and any person offending the second time shall
be fined not less than five, nor more than fifteen
dollars. So look out!

CARRYING CoNcEALED WEAPoNs.--The Cap

civil officers from carrying concealed weapons.
The practice ofyouns men, particularly carry

in many cases lately have been the cause ofmur-

should be discontinued. We hope the bill may
pass and that it shall be rgidly enforced.

BENEvoLENT.-There is an individual over
in Jefferson, who seems determined in his con-
tributions, to not let his left hand know what
his right hand does About a year ago, Rev.
j. Moffitt If this place, received letter signed
"a Sinner" containing sum ofmoney, to be
appropriated to benevolent purposes at the op-
ton of Mr.. Moffitt. This was accordingly done.
One day last week he received q similar letter
signed I'd Friend" containing larger amount
ofmoney, specifying how part Of it should be
distributed, and leaving the remainder as before
optional with Mr. Moftitt. The money has
since been applied to benevolent purposes.
