week, Fox River rose higher than has ever been
known since the settlement of this county. A
number of bridges, among which is The bridge at
Burlington, were carried away by the freshet. The

ILLINOIS AT a public meeting of bond
holders of the State of Illinois, convened
in the Astor House to take into consdera-
ton the proposition Of tn State to mort
ga ge the Illinois and Michigan Canal, with
800, 900 acres of land extending along the
line of the canal, together with large
number of town lots in Chicago and La
sale, committee consisting Of Messrs.
Wilmer, Clark, Strachan, S'las Wood and
others. were appointed for the purpose of
making arrangements for future meeting
in the Merchants Exchange.
The meetings was highly gratifed by
the explanations of one of the Illinois Com
missioners. from which we have every rca-
son to anticipate the most favorable result.
The greatest confidence seemed to prevail
at the meeting. Should the commissioners
be successful in their negotiations, the Gre
dit Of Illinois would again be restored. In
our Judgment it would be the interest Of the
bond holders Of every description, to join
in the loan to complete the canal, as in
such an event, they may rest with conf
denCe that they did not hold a mere nOml-
nal interest in the State. The whole length
Of the canal from the Illinois river to Lake
Michigan is about 90 miles, OF which more
than 65 miles are finished Of a capacity
equal to the navigation of a vessel Of one
hundred tons, and as this water commun !
cation will unite the waters Of the lakes with
| the Mississippi, it is easy to imagine lis
great Importance n. Y. Express.

A SINGULAR CRCUMsTANCE-THE pow
Err OF A DREAM.-The Norridgcwick Press
relates that the citizens of Harmony and
Cambridge, in Somerset county, have for
several days past turned out in search of
the bones Of u man, revealed in dream
to have been murdered and buried twenty
years ago. The name Of the murderer to-
gether with all the circumstances attending
the murder, are given by the dreamer. =
Among other things, the man dreamed that
the clothes of the murdered man were cut
up for chldren's wear, by a young lady at
the time; and as the story goes, the young
lady, who is now married. and still resides
in the town, says she remembered perfect
ly we'll of cutting up clothes for the man
named as the murderer, and that she was
suspicious then that all was not right. The
man now suspected Of the murder, and it
seems he was suspected at the time, for a
man was actually missing there, who is
supposed to have had considerable money
about his person, and who has never since
been heard of, removed from Harmony
soon after the murder is supposed to have
been perpetrared, to different part Of the
State, where he now sides.-NeU Era.
