She drank all I saved from my earnings before I knew it, and, to crown the whole, she pawned mny Sunday clothes. I felt convinced she must be possessed of an unnatural spirit. So I took her to the Bishop "What Bishop?"' "To Bishop Hughes-and told him my woful tale, and also what I thought was the cause of it. The Bishop as sured mue she not only had one, but, slhe actually had seven devils. I became frightened almost to death. I firmilv believed that there was not then on the earth a man more sorrowful, terri fied, and perplexed than I. My three little children were helpless anad des statute, and if I had thei benefit of my clergy (extremei unction,) I would have pr-eferred death to life, that I mihght not behold th~etr mniserate con dition.'

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, aid was poor, he would accept it and cure her. tie put on his stole, got his book and holy water, got her to kneel down, Iilatd tie sign of the cross on her forehead, mutli, breast and back. IlIe read a while, then spoke some words to himself, with his eyes lifted upwards. Ile then breathed into her mouth, nos. trils and ears.

RIms. -An ace unt reached 'Lalay ette, (indi.) during the last week, of .the sul'erings of two eihigrantfamilies on the prairies,,a descripti iof ghich is really heart sickening. It seems that on the 21st''January last, a violent storm happened, and that on the Saturday preceding two finiaiiles, consisting of tell persons, were in the act of' moving from South erin Indiana to N rthern Illinois. They arrived at Uxteord, the county seat of Beiton county, (Ind.) about forty miles i.orthwest i Lafayette, with Zwo ox teams, and well provided with necessaries fior the ro-id. They remained there through the storm, and on Monday morning resumed their journey. Last Tuesday morning a man passing over a prairie, only about live miles from Oxford, camne Upoll a sight which filled hi i with horror. The eareases of' two oxen, from which the viscerai had beei removed, lay upoin the ground. liaside of ot.e of' ti.mi were tile frozen btdies of' lo..r childreii, and inl the other the frozen corpse of the mother, with a nurmgin miiant at her breast. Under te snow wais a heap of ashes, ill which the iron of tie w.agois showe I that the party had broken them up, and buined ev. ery thing they had in them, in the eflbrt to save their lives. Not Jar froIm this spot, was found the body of the other Woman1111 of the part), partly concealed i a snow drift. ad iear her one of tine iinea. The two oather iuen had inot beenl founId. It is probable tUt the party became ilextuicably involveu ill the snow drifts ot the prairie, and lost their preeiice of initid. A'ter burning up their wagnt ses it would seem that the iiiei had killed two of the oxen for a shelter to those sound in them, and then, accompaiied by one woman, valily endeavered to reach the town they had left, and procure aid to res cu their companionas.
