Whatever may be the opinions Of diferen
persons of the cause of the great quantity of dus

obvious reason is this, that the street is never
properly cleared. Now, the whole difficulty
could be removed by simply maintaining two car
horses, one boy, and three men, to sweep ant
clean the street and fill the carts; and the whole
expense would not exceed six dollars per day

Murder indicated By Dream.-The following
extraordinary circumstance was lately related by
a gentleman of Norfolk, to whom the affair ac-
tually occurred About the latter end of Autumn,
1915, had retired TO rest one evening earlier
than usual, having invited some friends to supper
on the following night; had slept some hours,
when dreamed that lady clothed in long
white robe, rushed into the chamber and fixing
her eyes upon me with look of agony exclaimed.
They wilImurder him ! and immediately the cry
of one in pain fell upon my ear. awoke and
all was silent thro' the house, and again compo-
sed myself to slumber. had scarcely closed INV
eyes, when the same figure gave me the same
warning, and the same cry was heard, started
from my sleep and awoke my wife, to whom
related my wonderful dream but she said il was
absurd to pay any attention TO such fancies.
again fell asleep, and the third time the same figure
appeared, but this time it was all bloody, and
whispered, 1t is too late THE cries were re-
peated, and awoke the third time in cold sweat:
the cry of distress still rung my waking senses;
i my wife was also awakened by the noise; and
conscious that my dream was not mere Illusion.
hastily snatched my pistols from the table, and
rushed down the stairs. The ecry still continued,
but not so loud as at frst the sound seemed like

sound seemed to proceed, when the first object
that caught my eye was wretch armed with

OUR FLAG FIRED UPON BY MEXICO.

We give below an official account of an outrage
on our flag, which calls for the promptest and Sc
verest retribution. While the steamer Columbia,
Captain Wright, was on her way hither from We
lasco, with the .'stripes and stars" flying at her
masthead, she was interrupted by two Mexican
ships of war, who fired into her repeatedly, and,
but for the decided conduct of Captain Wright,
would have compelled her to stop, il not submit.
Before we give the official account, we will state
some information we have from well informed
and intelligent friend, who was on board the CO.
lumbia Some six weeks ago, schooner put into
Galveston Island apparently in distress. She had
large number of passengers, principally Mexi-
cans and Spaniards, who were permitted to visit
the naval station of the island. Some OF these
parties, it is pretty well known communicated the
particulars to the Mexican government; and there
is moral conviction arising from the facts al
ready known, and from the very large number of
men on board the two attacking vessels, that it is
the intention to land force on the island, and
burn up the Navy ard and other establishments
The brig spoken of in the annexed report, was
the new sloop of war, 'Iguala, said to be of
the finest vessels that ever sailed out of Baltimore
She was commanded by Com. Lopez, carried from
SO to SO guns, and is believed to have had over
200 men on board. The other vessel was the
ssIturbide," commanded by renegade American
named Davis; and though carrying only l8 guns,
had on board an immense number Of men, suppo-
sed to be troops intended for the descent on Gal
weston At the time the Columbia stopped her
engine she had on heavy head of steam with
all her hose manned for the purpose of using the
boiling water for defence or attack, and could ca
silly have run down the s.Iguala," which Captain
Wright was strongly disposed to do, but hestated
from the recommendation of some of his officers.
His conduct throughout is spoken Of by all as
worthy Of every commendaton; and while we re-
echo the call on our naval commanders in the Gulf
to do prompt justice for the insult offered our flag,
we present the name of Captain Wright to our
citizens one deserving their warmest esteem.
