The facts are as fallows : A Miss Martha Perkins, who resides five miles from this place, was on a visit to her brother-inlaw who resides here, tin Tuesday last, the sth inst., she started to walk home.— It was snow ing hard at the time she started and continued for two days. The snow was then eighteen inch* - deep. Her road was mostly over high rolling prairie, the snow beating di rect!' in her face. She pursued her journey with much difficulty unlit within a mile ot home, when she lost her way and rambled about until sunset, when she took refuge for the night in a deep husliv ravine. There in the deep snow she constructed a very ingenious little house out of tire tall weeds that grew near by : and there she spent the first night of camp life, without frod to sustain life or tire to warm, or any clothing except her apparel to shelter her, from the storm, the little weed house sire had erected being the oniv thing she had to keep her from exposure to the bleak winds and how ling storm. Early next morning she started out in pursuit oi her home, but went entirely a different course. After travelling all day, fre quently through snow Fur feel deep, exhausted and fatigued, her feet frozen, abandoning all idea of ever reaching home, she stopped and a erai{i built her weed hut. In this little frail ten ement she resigned herself to her fate, and it came well nigh bewig her last resting place up on this earth. She remained in this situation, and at this last named place, (rom Wednesday until Saturday, about 12 o'clock, when she was found bv a party who were in search of her. She had been tAit four days and a half, and four nights, exyxa* ,j d to the merciless storms on the prairies. weather was intensely cold. During tw o nights of her exposure, the thermometer ranged from 17 to 20 degrees he low zero. She said to those who found her, that she never slept during the whole time, be lieving that if she had gone to sleep she would never wake again.

Such testimony proceeding from a highly re spectable body oi' gentlemen, retired from the world, and regarding justly the interests which belong to another and future slate ot existence as paramount to all other*, affords oie an inex pressible degree o! satisfaction. Nor isail this diminished 1 v the fact that we happ-n to profess different religious creeds, lor 1 have never believed that that of "the Catho lics was anti-American and hostile to civil lib erty." On the contrary, 1 have with great pleasure, and with sincere conviction, on sever al public occasions, borne testimony to my per fect ; t-rsuasion that Catholics are as devoted to civil liberty, and as much animated by patriot ism. as those who belong to the Prott slant creed. I am not surprised, that, in the seclusion of those whom von represent, great solicitude should be fell lor the snf. ty and preservation of that Union which iscursniest guaranty of peace, order, libertv, and public happiness, I hope and believe that dangers winch appeared to threaten it have diminished ; but there is still greater occasion for the exeicise of a spirit oi concord, mutual concession anil harmony. 1 request vou to present to the President and Faculty assurances ol'my respectful acknowl edgments, and accept yourself those of your re spectful and obedient servant, H. Clav. Ni:m.ctierxKzze:a EXHUMED.— -It is staler! that Col.
