So I tooak hier to the Bishop "To Bishop Hu~ghes-anld told him my woful tale, and alsia what I thought was the cause of' it. The Bishop as sured me she not only had one, but shte actually had seven devits. I became Irightenied alnost to death. I firrmly believed that there was niot thenl o~n tbe earth a man more sorrowful, terri lied, and perplexed than I. My three little children were helpless arid des stitute, arnd if I had the benefit (at iry clergy (extreme utnctioni,) I would have preferred deatht to lilu, thrat 1 might not, behold t~herr miseranle con. dition.' I told his reverencee so. le told me I mnust take courage. In the langtrage ot despair I asked himn what couild be done. He told me Ihe did not see that an) thing could possi. bly be done at present. I asked him in the name of Almighty God and the blessed Virgin, to do something for her. He made no answer, which still increased my alarm. In the perlexi. ty of. niy"inin.a I had forgotten to make an offering. i.o I saw at once the reason he did nothing for her. lie did not wish to ask me, I suppose; and knowing it would have no ef1ect if not paid for, I ofTered hin one doliar lie asked me if I could give no more. I told him I had to borrow even that from one of the men that worked with me. le told me it was not enough, but seeing I had no more, and was poor, he would accept it and cure her. lie put oin his stole, got his book and heoly water, got her to kneel down, made tle sign of the cross on her fo rehead, motihit, breast and back. Ie read a wile I-, then spoke some words to himself, with his eyes lifted upwards. Ine. then breathed into her mouth, nos. trils aid ears. She instantly turned pale, and seemed for a moment insen sible. In a lw mmintients the recov. ered. lie asked her to show tier tongue. Sho did. lie pulled it, amid commanded the lying spirit to coine out, of' lier. -Afier this she looked more like an angel thun a human be. ing. She then asked leave of his rev. ence to iake an open confe'ssion be. tore hi:,i and eic. lie told tier to go (on.

SUFFERINo AND DEATH ON THE PAAJ niEs. -An aceaunt reached Lalayette, (Indi.) during the last week, of .the sufferings of two eiigrant tamilies on thu prairies, a desription'of hich is really heart sickeni Ug. It seems that on the 21t''January last, a violent, storm happeied, and that on the Saturday preceding two fanmibles, consistinig of ten persons, were inl the act, of maoving from South ern lidiana to N. rthern Illinois. They arrived at Oxtard, the county seat of BeiLtol county, (tid.) about forty miles i.orthwest tol Lafayette, with two ox teanins, and well provided with necessaries fIor the roaid. They remained there through the storm, aid on Monday morning resuimed their journey. Last Tuesday morning a man passitig over a prairie, only about live miles from Oxford, camie upon a sight which filled him with horror. The carcases of two oxen, Iromn which the visceral had been removed, lay upon the ground. Itside of oa.e of thi-mi were the I'rozen bt dies of lo..r children, and in the other the frozeni coipse of tle nauther, with a fiur.-ig inlant at her breast. Under the snow was a heap of ashes, inl which the iron of'the w;agonas showe i that the party had brokei thent up, and bulned ev er) thing they had in thei, in the elfoirt to save their lives. Nut Jar fromn this spot, was Iound the body of the oitlier womaain ou the part), partly concealed iII a sow drilt, aid ioear her uie uf'Ltue Itaein. The two other ineii had nut been louid. It is probable that the party became illextoicably inivolveu in the snow drilts om the prairie, and lost their prezsence of in:id. After bu riming up their wagtm..s it would st-ein that, the mnen had killed two of the oxen for a shler to those iound in tlem. an Llen, accomipanied by one woman, vainly Cideavered to reach the town they had left, and procure aid to res. eue their comipanions.
