A Young married lady, the wife ol
Main stree, merchant, residing on Race
street. in the yiriui'y Of fhirj,had most
singular dream ON the night Of Wednesday
December 7lh. which has since been re-
alizcd in a remarkable manner. The
name Of the lady we withhold at her own
request. On the night sp"kcn cf she re-
tired to her bed in pleasant frame of
mind, not, however, particularly cia'cd.
The first of Ihenght she was visited by
deen sleep, which rs the dawn approach
ed, gave way 10 slumbcrs OF q more bro
ken character. Suddenly she dreamed
and dreaming, she saw her brother the

arise from bed in a small, bui likely
tenement. and running has hapd under tho
pilIow. drew from thence i revolver and
a huge bowie-knife, both of which he
placed in bet that he wore around his
BODY. 1t seemed that il was not lar from
midnight, for the embers were yet smoN-
mo on the rude hearth, and as they cast
their lurld glare over his connlcnance, she
thought that perhaps it was all dream
but lhcn she concluded lhat no dream
could be 50 real, and became convinced
lhal all was actual.
While she stzcd upon his countcnancc
the expression suddenly changcd-it be
'raycd an intense watchluHcSs; every
pulse seemed suspended and every heart
lhrob mullicd, while the eye stood fixed
on particular spot near the head Of tho
bed where, through small aperture not
noticed before, vas Il hHaaa hdnd grasp
ng a short, keen instrument looking ter

supposed region of the heart and poised
uself slowly down Ia about the supposed
region Of the heart and poised itself for
second, as If to make sure aim. That
second was sufficient for the brother To
rise noiseessly from his scat, draw his
bowie-knifc from his belt and advance n
single step toward the bed. Just as the
dagger descended into the blankets the
knife of the brother came down like

pietely severing the hand Of the would

ed yell sounded from without, and on
rushing to the aperture and convincing
himself lhat there was but one, the broth

moon was shining, and by IT'S light was

The miner drew the body to the door
and turning his face TO the FIRE, bebeId

some lancicd injury had sworn TO never

brother's) life. On examining the man
closely, he was discovered ohave wound
IN the vicinity of the heart, which long,
sharp, two edged blade in his left hand
abruptly accounted for. Failing IN the
attempt 10 assassinale his victim, he had
with his only remaining hand, driven an
other knife 10 his own heart. The lady

dream, related..Il in substance as here re-
