A SIIVGILAR DREAM.
TfKost remarkable Realization.
A young married lady, the vYife of a Main
street merchant,on Race street, in the vicinity
of Third, had a most singular dream on the night
of Wednesday,December 0, which has since been
realized in a remarkable manner. The name of
the lad.y *e Withhold at her own request! On
the night spoken of she retired to her bed in a
pleasant frame, not however particularly elated.
The first of the night she was visited by a deep
sleep, which as the dawn appeared, gave way to
slumber of a more broken character. Suddenly
she dreamed ; and dreaming saw her brother the
same that two years ago left his orphan home to
brave the hardships of California life, that he
might secure to himself and sister a competence.
Bhe saw him rise from a bed in a small hut-like
tenement, and running his hand under the pil
low draw from thence a revolver and a huge
bowiekriife, both which he placed in a belt that
he wore around his body. It seemed-that it was
not far from midnight, for the embers were yet
smoking on the rude hearth, and as they cast
their lurid glare over his countenance, she thought
perhaps it was all a dream; hut then she con
cluded that no dream could he real, and became
convinced that all was actual.
VVhile she gazed upon his countenance, the
expression suddenly changed ; it betrayed an in
tense watchfulness ; every pulse seemed sus
pended, and every heart-throb muffled, while the
rye stood fixed on a particular spot near the
head of the bed, where through a.small aperture
not noticed before was a hnmand hand, grasping
_a keen short instrument looking terribly like a
dagger.
It apparently sought the head of the bed ; for
as it touched the pillow, it passed itself slowly,
down to about the supposed region of the heart
and poised itself for a second, as if to make sure
its aim. That second was sufficien? for the
brother to rise noiselessly from his seat, and
draw his bowiekriife from his licit and advance
a single step toward the Just trs the dag
ger descended into the blankets, the knife ol the
brother came down like a meat-axe close to the
aperture,completely severing the hand of the
would-be assassin above the wrist, and causing
the dagger and limb to fall on the bed, trophies
of his victory.
A deep, prolonged yell sounded from without
and rushing to the aperture, and convincing him
sell that there was hut one, the brother unbolted
the door and stopped out. The moon was shi
ning, and by its light was discovered a man
writhing as if in the last agonies. The miner
drew the body neat the door* and turning Iris
lace to the fire, beheld the visage of a Mexican,
who, for some fancied injury, had sworn to never
rest content until he had taken his (the brother's)
life. On examining the man closely, he was
discovered to have a wound in tfie vicinity of the
heart, which a long, sharp, two-edged blade in
his hand abundantly accotnfletf for. Failing in
the attempt to assassinate his victim, he had with
Ills only remaining hand driven another knife to
his own heart.
The lady awoke, and vividly impressed with
the dream, related its aubstanco as here recorded
toher husband. Judge then of Her and bis sur
prise, when they yesterday received a letter from
California, per the North Star, from the brother,
relating an adventure on the night of Dec. C,
precisely identical with that seen by the lady in
her dream.—Cincinnati Daily Times.
Tlic Result in Itew KKumpsliirc.
The New Hampshire papers account in vari
ous ways fur the total overthrow of the Demo
cratic parly in thut State. The Manchester
Democrat icjGazette’takes comfort from the idea
that “the Democratic organization is still support
ed by an army of 27.000 true men, while the
Whig vote dwindles down to 4,000, and the
Abolition vote is hardly sufficient to make a re
spectable count.” This latter piece’ of informa
tion is fatal to the arguments of the Southern
Democratic presses. They insist that the vic
tory in New Hampshire is altogether an Aboli
tion triumph; and if this ground he taken from
them by an orthodox New Hampshire Democrat
ic print, the cattse of old-fashioned Democracy
may suffer, especial'y in Virginia. The Concord
Statesman, (Whig,) on the other hand, thinks
that if the battle had been fought upon the issue
of the “Compromise of 1820” alone, deserters
from the Democratic ranks would have been
counted by thousands. It says that “although
some people will assign one circumstance as the
cause of this thorough revolution and Home anoth
er, yet it is an aggregation of causes which have
clone the werk. Ihe paper first named consoles
irself that “a considerable number of honest
Democrats will one day become satisfied that
they are operating with their old enemies.” It
thus confesses that the parly itself furnished the
means of its own demolition, and finds comfort
in the alleged fart that Know Nothingism has
accomplished the work “of annihilating’lhc Ab
olition party.” We.do not expect, tb re fore, to
see the argument renewed that the late rout was
■n “Abolition triumph.”—Nat. Intelligencer.
Important to tlio Ladies—The
Siting Bonnet.
Thursday was “opening day” among (he New
York milliners, and the Herald gives the follow
ing description of the Spring bonnet;
The bonnets this season are not so much flared
Ss last; the crowns droop more, and tho front is
slightly projecting, and very many are covered
with dotted lace, either black or white. They
are trimmed with a profusion of flowers', inter
mingled with white and black blonde. Flowers
are much used in trimming, both inside and out,
and quite a novel effect is produced by ihe com
bination of white and black blonde. Straw en
ters largely into the composition of bennets ibis
season, the fronts of many being formed of it, and
the trimmings of others receiving additional beau
ty from the intermixture of flowers of the same
glancing material. Madame Ferrerro exhibits
two splendid specimens. The crown and edge
of the front is made of the finest split straw, and
the front and part of the side crown is of hair, ar
ranged so as to resemble pullings, each
being confined by a single row or braid. An e.\r
quisiie border ot hair lace, with a shell-like ed-e
ii'lit as blonde, and lar more beautiful, is attach.’
ed to the front rim of the hat sod thrown back.
With the exception of t!,e crown tho hat is trans
pirent, and it is, without exception, the rarest
most‘recherche we have ever seen. <

inducements to those wishing tiieir ‘daughters

unnecessary.

‘Dr. Roger’s LIVERWORT, TAR & CAN
CHALAGOA has rescued its multitudes fron
the grave. Do you ask for tlie evidence ? Then
call on the Agent, and get a fiaraphlet; a news
paper is too small to contain :t. In Ihe Pamphlet
you will find well authenticated cases of individ
uals who were, in very deed, rescued from the
grave; for they were upon the very verge of if,
and given up to die by our test Physicians snd
mostskillful Medical Professors, when the Liv
erwort and Tar came to their rescue, and deliv
ered them back to their friends. Although Bli.n,
of the cures seem almost increditable, yet they
are not obscure ; we have given t Fieif real name4
and their exact place of residence, so that they
may be seen, and the facts heard from their own
mouths. These cures are fully corroborated by
j Physicians and Professors of Medicine, who are
| well known and are of the highest standing in
i our land, who have been compelled to yield tit
j these stubborn facts : no one can distute such
I EVIDENCIES.
gCrtVe Challenge the YVbo’e ‘Worlrft
i To produce more real bona fide evidence, in an/
’ court of justice, than we have in favor of thi*
medicine ! !
We defy the Physicians of every school, and i\li
tlre - Medicines that have ever been invented,’ tef
produce evidence of such remarkable cure* as
have been made by Dr. Roger’s Liverwort, Tai 1
and Canchalagua.
We confidently ask the Afflicted (not to pur
chase our Medicines,) but to examine our Pam
plilet, and see for themselves, whether tha evi
derice is as convincing as we say it is ; if so, t
may prove a great blessing to you.
It costs but little to give it a fair trial, compar
ed to what a Physician charges—but little whed
compared to what you value vour health !!
What is the value of money without heal'ht
He Ware of Coughs and Colds !!
Recollect that coughs and colds are forerurf
jiers of consumption! Dr. Roger’s Liverwort:
Tar and Canchalagua will break up the most
distressing cough or cold in a tew hours’time.
In many cases of years’ standing a radical curd
has been effected in a very short time bvstrif.il/
following tlie directions. We doubt not but that
there are now thousands of living witnesses wh%
would have been in ltie ir graves if they had riot
used this medicine, arresting ihe diseases before
it became too late /
O’ Who are those who have certified to the
great value otthis medicine? You will fiudths
names of such men as Hon. Judge Win. Burke,’
late Postmaster of C'incmnaii for more than I wen
