A "2' ouug Lady four days in the Snow--
Wonderful Preservation.
lowa PoINTk K. T., 9, 1856
This has been a nay of intense excitement
in our quiet town, caused by a young lady of
this neighborhood being lost in a snow storm.
The facts are as follows
• Miss Martha Perkins, who resides five
miles from this place, was on a visit to her
brother-in-law who resides here. On Tues
day last, the sth inst., she started to walk
home. It was snowing hard at the time she
started and continued for two days. The
snow was then eighteen inches deep. Her
road was. mostly over high rolling prai
rie, the snow beating directly in her face.
She pursued her journey with much difficulty
until within a mile of home, when she lost
her way and rambled about until near sunset,
when she took refuge for the night in a deep
bushy ravine. There in the deep snow she
constructed a very ingenious little house out
of the tall weeds that grew near by, and
there she spent the first night of camp life,
without food to sustain
_life or fire to warm,
or any clothing except her apparel to shelter
from the storm, the little weed house she had
erected being the only thing she had to keep
her from exposure to the bleak winds and
howling storm.
Early next morning she started out in pur
suit of her home, but went entirely a differ
ent course. After traveling all day, frequently
through snow four feet deep; exhausted and
fatigued, her feet frozen, abandoning all idea
of -ever reaching home, she stopped and again
built her a weed hut. In this little frail ten
ement she resigned herself to her fate, and
it came well nigh being her last resting place
upon earth. *A remained in this situation
and at this lastliTmed place, from Wednesday
until Saturday, about 12 o'clock - , when she
was found by a party who were in search for
her. She had been out four days and a half,
and four nights, exposed to the merciless
storm on the prairies. The weather was in
tensely cold. During two nights of her ex
posure, the thermometer ranged from 17 to
20 degrees below zero. She said to those
who found her, that she never slept during
the whole time, believing that if she had gone
to sleep, she never Would wake again.
It is a most miraculous escape from death,
and those - noble spirits who searched and
found her deserve great praise. To think
that a young and delicate girl, not over six
teen years, could travel through such a snow
storm five miles, wading often waist deep in
snow, lie out in the open prairie, exposed to
the storm of snow arid piercing blast of the
wintry wind four days and nights, without
food, fire. or even a blanket, and then live, is
hard to believe, but such is the fact beyond
doubt, as at least half our citizens, who were
in search of her, can testify. Her feet were
badly frozen, bet it' is believed she will -en
tirely recover, with the loss perhaps of a few
of her toes.
TERRIBLE SUFFERING ON A RAILROAD
TRAIN.-A Buffalo letter gives an account of
the terrible suffering of a large number of
passengers who last week left Hornesville
for that city in the cars. The writer says:
'The train could not get through on the
New York city road, and the passengers took
the Erie road, to Dunkirk. They lay at Per
rysburgfrom Monday noon till Friday night,
where they could get no beds' and very little
to eat. There were 520 passengers and 400
employees, who took in the cars all the rest
they could get. During the time two chil
dren and one young man dial—not entirely
from cold arid starvation, but fatigue and bad
air, and being sick when they started. One
lady who was on board received a telegraph
ic dispatch that she had three children lying
ill of scarlet fever in Illinois. It was impos
sible to describe her agony at the constant
detensions and long delays. The cars fre
quently ran off the track, and when replaced
the wind would drift the snow upon the
track and render it impossible to proceed.—
We had the superintendent upon the train
and fifteen locomotives to draw us —but
there were some enormous drifts. One of
them was forty feet deep.
A. SIMPLE YET CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
—ln view of the immense suffering by this
diStressing complaint, I request space in your
columns to make known a certain, safe and
simple remedy, with the hope that it will be
copied by other journals, that all afflicted
may have the benefit of it. It is simply
white pine pitch, made into the size of 'ordi
nary pills, and from ten to eighteen, (accor
ding to the state of the disease,) taken during
theday, until relief is had. One case among
the many which have been cured was that.of
a person who, after having failed to Obtain re
lief from the mast eminent medical skill, and
even suffered a resort to the knife, without
obtaining relief, has been entirely cured by
the above, and now enjoys excellent health.
Yours &c. H. A.
. N. B. The pitch should be used in its nat
ural state, or in the condition it is in when
taken front the tree.—Albanl Atlas.
The Sunday Liquor Law
The Supreme Court, sitting at Philadelphia,
has decided that the Sunday liquor law of
Feb. 20th, 1855, was not repealed by the act
of April 14th, 1855. The Court says :
"It is not pretended that
the preceding
act of 14 April
1855, in terms repealed the preceding act, but
it is said that it embraced the same subject
matter and was evidently intended as a sub
stitute for it; that the first act was supplied
by the second one, and therefore by implica
tion repealed, if not in whole, at least so
far as relates to the specific offence charged.
Upon an examination of the acts referred
to, we are all of the opinion that there is no
inconsistency between the two acts, so far
as the section upon which this indictment is
based, and that the subject matter of the first
is not revised and supplied by the latter act,
and that therefore the one does not repeal the
other.
To repeal an act by implication it must
clearly appear that there is a plain inconsis
tency between it and a subsequent statute, or
that the one is fully supplied by the other.—
A subsequent statute repugnant- to a prior
one repeals it, but if they can be construed
together, both will be sustained, as the law
does not favor a repeal by implications.—
Bowen vs. Lease, sth Hill, 221.•
There is very little similarity between the
two statutes under consideration. Both, it is
•true, refer to the sale of intoxicating liquors;
but the one prohibits the sale entirely on the
first day of the week, whilst the other mere - -
ly regulates its sale for the other days in the
week. Both acts were passed at the same
session of the General Assembly, and the
absence of any repealing clause referring in
terms to the prior act, is strong evidence that
the Legislature did. not intend its repeal.—
To protect the Sabbath and punish its viola
tion by this species of worldly employment,
was the primary object of the act of Februa
ry, 1855, rather than to regulate or prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors ; and when
this object was accomplished, it is not to be
supposed that the work. would be un
done by the same body of men in legislating
upon another and distinct subject. Believ
ing the act to be eminently calculated to pro
mote public and private morality, and to con
duce to the good order and well being of so
ciety, we feel no disposition to favor its le
peal by legislative implication, or to impair
its force by judicial construction."
