AS early as the 18th OF September, 1859.

been annually SET apart FOR that purpose from
that time to the present, with few intervals.
The events which call for special thanks,
are often briefly aud explicitly given in the
ancient records, and are NOT always such as
the good people Of these days would select.
In 1858. the magistrates appointed "a pub

VERIF1cATIoS OF A DREAM Just two
weeks ago last Saturday night, young
lady in Hanover street in this city, retired
to bed at her usual hour, and in her usu'
al cheerful, happy frame Of mind. Az
ter having fallen asleep, she had fright
full dream of vision. She dreamed that
her brother, who was in the western part
Of New York, was killed, and YRS horri-
bly, mangled in death. This dream
seemed SO vivid and real, and impressed
her mind SO forcihly, that she woke. and
even rose from her bed, and walked her
room, weeping in great anguish.
Another lady, who was asleep in an
adjoining chamber. was awakened by
her wailings. on going into the room to
ascertain the cause, found her sitting in a
chair weeping. The lady endeavored to
soothe her fears, and finally persuaded
her to retire once more to bed, and try
to forget the dream. The next Monday
morning the young lady received tele-
graphic despatch. announcing that her
brother, MIR. Wise. brakeman on the
Western Railroad, had fallen from the
cars on one Of the freight trains neal
East Chatham, N. Y, and had been rur
over, and instantly killed. The acciden,
happened at about 2 o'clock on Sunday
morning. precisely the time Of the dream
