THE DEATH OF WILLIE LINCoLN.-It be-
comes our painful duty to announce the death
of this remarkably intelligent and accomplished
young gentleman. He was the second eldest
son Of our Borrowing President. The disease
of which he died typhoid fever assumed at first
q mild character, creating no alarm IN the
breasts Of his fond parents and anxious friends,
and which appeared to yield to the able treat
nent of Drs Hall and Stone but III the course
of ten days the symptoms had rapidly increased,
accompanied by delirlum. From that time he
never ralied-the chances OF recovery growing
daily fainter and fainter, until death, which had
never uny terrors for him, released him from his
intense suferings.
The multiplicity of subjects, all having bear
ing on his leading tutorial studies, the unceaslng
and devoted attentions of his many faithful at
PENDANTS, DC. &c, astonishingly and coEclu-
swell evnced that he had neither been shall
low observer nor a reader during his short So
urn on earth.
To our youthful readers we proudly hold him
up as an example to follow.
In his fila relations he was atfecti0nate, ODE
dent, and rery truthful. He was strict at
tender of the Sabbath schoo-not from force of
habit or parental espionage, but from calm and
earnest desire to gain that which passeth all
show.
TO his tutor he was much attached and Civ
ing prompt and cheerful heed and obedience to
his wishes On many, very many occasions,
did he complain of the short ESQ he thought)
studies allotted him. His memory was so won
derfulIy retentive that he had only to con over
once or twice page of his speller ana detiner,
and the impression became so fixed that he went
through without hesitation or laundering, and
his other studies in proportion
AS he progressed with his Latin, he became
very Interested in collecting the English words
derived from it. The last question he put 10
his teacher on this subject was

He alludsI often to the historical sgnifcancy
OF its meaning. He never used improper or sim
full language, and had an intuitive horror of
swearing and rudeness. BE seemed mailed
against bad impressions. He, ike his bonOred
father, had a fund of quiet humor, which soon
broke out when he was net engaged with his
studies Nothing could check it, He was par
tial TO the manufacture of conundrums, and on
one occasion he asked Mr.. W. "Why Sec

EAU CLAIRE, FEB. 25th, 1852.
Dear Telegraph:
! believe it is generally conceded by every
one, from that Anticipated fossil, /" the oldest in
habitant, to the btight-syed youth of four sum
mers, that sleigh-rido is one Of the most if not
the most pleasant mode of recreation. To
render it truly delightful, however, several
things are essential an agreeable companion;
a good horse an easy cutter good sleighing !;
fine day; an easy conscience and at least
twenty five cents of American specie in his
pocket man possessed Of these, if he be
not dyspeptic, surely should be in state OF
mind to enjoy a sleigh-ride.
Though not blessed with all these parts of
one stupendous whole" Saturday last saw me
with the thermometer at 26 below zero, urging
my horse across the prsiries of the Chippewa
Valley. Seventeen miles were traversed and we
were ct our journeys eud. Though George, {"
{our sompanion) repeatedly averred with some
rather strong explosives, he was freezing all
over, We found the only damage we had sus-
tanned to be two or three frozen ears-and this
was unanimously voted to be good joke--on
the ears A genuine hearty welcome soon re-
stored US to our usual happy state of mind.
Despite the urgent wishes of our host and
hostess, Sunday afternoon found us, on the
homeward track. 1t had showed and drifted all
the proceeding night and the early part of the
present day-rendering the road almost OBJ
we were congratulating ourselves on its not
being as bad as it might be-when we found
the contents of the cutter, ourselves included,
in a neighboring snowbank, Gathering our
selves from The snowy fakes, we cOmforted
ourselves with the fact that no ons saw our mis-
hap, and resumed our journey. Slowly slow
y trudged our horse, sinking in the snow At
least eighteen inches at every step. Too stub
born were We to turn back, though we well
knew the roads were worse the farther We pro.
ceeded. The edge Of the prairie wa, reached
five miles from our starting place--in four
hours. To ride now was out of the question
Our faded yet brave horse was repeatedly obi
ged to rest, and often was down on its knees
The middle of the prairie was reached-it was
now quite dark, and the few signs we had to
keep us in the track were totally obscured. A
council of war was held. To try to go ahead
was almost impossible-to turn back no better
TO encamp,if the weather continued rs it was,
presented the prospect of eRcGmping for seer.
1t was now intensity cold but the severe exer-
else we had endured in walking, rendered us
unaware Of it. Once uaore we urged our horse
forward, trusting to iss sagacity to keep the
road. Half an hour passed; it now became
painfully evident we had lost the track. To
proceed was now impossible. No house or hu-
man beng was within six milesso to encamp
was the only alternative. Unlitching our horse
we fastened him to stunted oak, got in the
cutler and covered ourselves best we could
