fullest confidence.
GLESN's Falls, June IL, 1853.
Friend Brittan:-An occurrence which
happened in this city, short time since, ls
interesting, as being one Of those facts
which are so easily accounted for on the
spiritual theory, but which the great ma.
jorily Of the people would pass by as ro-
markuble coincidence, ora singular circum.
stance. YOU can do with the account ]
send you as you think proper The facts
are as follows;
On Monday, May 10, two young men,
named Ball and Buttolph, we're engaged In
rafting at the "big BOTTOM" about three
miles from this place. One OF them lost
his balance and Tell into the water. Being
unable to swim, his companion went to his
assistance, and both were drowned, This
took placs about | | o'clock a, NJ. Al the
same time, iitllo sister Of Ball, four ,r
five years of Oge, who was playing with
other children at the neighbours, short
distance from her home, but five or six
miles from the scene Of her brothers death,
suddenly commenced crying, aud said that
her brother was drowned. On being told
by those about her that II was not SO, and
that her brother was at work, ETC., she only
cried the more, declaring he was drowaedi
aud that she must 60 home to her mother
She accordingly started to go hcme, but
said she was afraid 10 20 alone. Some lar.
ger children went home with her, when
She told her mother the same story, and in
answer to their enquiries Of how did she
know her brother was drowned, said, some
one told her, In about an hour news al
her brothers death was brought to hi,
home.
The bodies were not recovered until Sat
urday, on which day-and a, the time o.
tho occurrence, as nearly as Gun be ascer
tuined-ihe little girl told them al home
that the body was found, which statement
as in the former case, was speedily veri
fed, Yours, very truly,

and any other terms that could convey the idea
that the public had been dupod, and that we are

that was spent in the beginning Of this enterprise
was spent for buneUml When all parties, Wing,
Benton and Anti Benton, when all men, Farmers
and Mechanics, Lawyers, Doctors, and Mer.

is hodrl Who believes that the thousands Of

Who believes that the advance Of land from Ia

dreamP
No rational man can believe these things, and
no man who is alive to his position in society; or
who respects his reputation for sanity, should
breathe such thought, but cherish it Sll.born
in his bsnighted mind,
Is it supposed that 100000 acres of land are

Opaque as briok.bAt can harbour such an idea,
! Are We to think that Eastern capitalists will
advance or Withhold $5,O00,000 because the
/ Directors on our end love those on the other
end like brothers or notp Do they care whether
the Hannibal members are in favor OF Ia or
