The protecting ge- nius of Villars preserved him from this danger, and also saved with hima hand tul of brave fellows, who, without the ioi tahate star which guided him, might. perhaps, have pcrished.
 The writer ofths article has heard related the following adventure:--One night, aileri had gone my lastrounds, l betook myself to sleep, when ali on a sudden l dreamed that one of my hot houses was on. fire. This struck me forclbly; ! rose and hastened to the hot-housc pointed out to me in my dream, where l had the happiness to arrive in time topreyent, withoutdoubt, a serious misfortune. A fire had actu- ally broke out from one of the stoves, which were always kept burning day and night, and seemed likely, infallibly to make considerable progress.
 Without furtherseareh, we may agree in the opinion, without discussing the cause, that dreams are not what super stltion has stated them to be. neither are they what they are defined by mod ern philosophy.

 Accounts from Alabama show amost depiorable destitution of the softer sex in that region. We would earnestly recommend the gentlemen of this stlte to come to our county and disburden us of some eof our fur population. Here We are thronged almost to suffocation; yes, overwhelmingly so, by the most aInia- ble, accomplished and facinating La dies in all the world; all sorts, sizes, and complexions, from the ruddy bux- om lass to the pale and sickly blue of the eloistered nun: black eyed beauties, ay, blue eyed ones too--as fair as Diana. who, no doubt, would wish to emigrate to the west, provided they could secure the hand of some enterprising planter.

Ca'aa,e Sagacaty.-In ancient times, q French gentleman of family and for tune, when travelling alone through q forest, was murdered, and buried under tree. lis dog an English blood- hound, went to the house of his masters friend in Paris, and by bowling, look ing towards the door, and pulling at his coat, made him understand that he wisl- edto be followed. This dumb eloquenee having effected its purpose, he led the way directly to the tree, where he scratched the earth and howled. Ondig- ging the spot the body of the murdered man was found.
 A long time after this, the dog met the assassin in the midst of crowd, and instantly flew at his throat. Whenever he saw the same individual, he always attacked him with the same ferocity. This excited suspicion; and the King. Louis the Eighth, having himself been witness of the fact, determined to re- fer tine decision to the chance of battle. In those days they did not have trial by judge and jury, but decided causes by single combat ;those who were vanquish- ed were deemed guilty. The battie between the Chevalier and the blood hound took place in the Isle of Notrc Dame. The dog brought the man to the ground. He confessed the murder and was beheaded. A monument in basso-reliepo, representing the combat. still remains inthe grand hall atthe Cas- tie of Montgaris in France.
