RAPIDITY OF THOUGHT IN DREAMING
A very remarkable circumstance, on an i'm
portant point of analogy, is to be found in the
extreme rapidity with which mental operations
are performed, or rather with which the materi-
al changes on which.thc ideas depend are excit-
ed in the hemispherical ganglia. Itwould ap-
pear as If whole series of acts, that would re-
ally occupy a long lapse of time, pass ideally
thToughthe mind at one instant. We have i'll
dream no true perception of the lapse of time
"a strange property of mind; for if such be
its property when entered into the eternal dis
embodied state, time.will appear to us eternity.
The relations of space, as we'll as of time, are
also annihilated; so that, while almost an eters
nifty is compressed into moment infinite
space is traversed more swiftly than by real
thought. There are numerous illustrations of
this principle on record gentleman dream
ed that he had enlisted as a soldier, Joined his
regiment, deserted, was apprehended, carried
back, tried, condemned to be shot, and at last
led out for execution. After all the usual
preparations gun was fired he awoke with
the report, and found that noise in the ad-
joining room, had at the same moment, pro-
duced the dream and awakened him. A
friend of DR.. Abercrombie's dreamt that he
crossed the Atlantic, and spent fortnight in
America. On embarking on his return, he
fell into the sea, and, awakening in the fright,
found that he had not been asleep ten minutes.

STEAMER ATLANTIC SUNK.-250 Hres lost
A report reached here Monday morning, from
Chicago, that the steamer Atlantic, when about
four hours from Buffalo, was run into and sunk
by the Propeller Ogdensburgh, and all on board
lost. A thick fog is said to have been the cause
of the collision. We have not heard the date
of this melancholy catastrophe. Detroit papers
of the 10Th say nothing about it.
Since the above was in type, we have been
furnished, by Capt Warren of the schooner N.
Hampshire, the Chicago Daily Tribune of the
2lst., in which we find the number of lives prob
ably lost is forty, and not two hundred and fifty.
The Atlantic sunk in 1875 feet of water, bow
down, the confined air keeping the stern out of
