AN EVENTFUL TRIP.—The last trip of the steamer Courier, Capt. Mason, was quite an eventful one. Going down, she found herself a day or two in the midst of a sea of heavy ice, and so frightful did her position appear that many of the passengers went about the boat with life preservers under their arms. She went through bravely, however, without a single accident. Coming back, she had on board a large number of the young ladies from the Oxford Female Seminary, near Cincinnati, which institution was recently destroyed by fire, and the pupils were compelled to return to their homes. It seems that the girls did not get over their fright, occasioned by the destruction of the Seminary and their rescue from the same, until they found themselves safely aboard a safe steamboat, when they determined to have some fun. Mr. Anderson, the Clerk, says he never had a wilder party to take care of. They danced nearly all the time, and seemed determined to make full atonement for the discipline they suffered in the school.
