most excellent and able Chief Magistrate
should receive the Office. Gen. Wallace is
too well known throughout the State for

Never repeat story, unless you arc GER

something is to be gained, either of interest

practice, and he who INDUCES in it, grows
more fond oi il in proportion AS he is success
ful. If you have no good 10 say OF your

telling that which is false. lie WHO tells
you the faults of others, intends TO tell 9TH

TEMPERANCE ADDRESS.

PHYSICIANS IN pErTICoATs.

WE have received Catalogue Of the Stu.
dents, and a copy Of the Seventh Annual
hnno ouncencnt, Of The Female Medical Col
iege of Pcnnsy lvania, located in Philsdel.
phia. II is stated that the demand for wen
educated female physicians is increasing rap
idly, and that high and hoHornblc rank in
the profession is readily accorded, to all
who prove themselves worthy Of il. We
believe the custom OF womc" dcvo!ing them
selves TO the study of Medicine, is purely
American; in all ages and in all countries
their careful and soothing attention to the
sick and the afflicted, has been appreciated d
and nowcdgcd but to the land Of Yam
keedom s due the honor of having intro
duced the system, which dubs them with
the subriquet OF NJ. D. Among the list Of
Professors in this College, EMELrSE Hon.
TON CLrAvELAND, NJ. d., figures as Demon.
strator gf Anatomy. In no country is wo-
nan, in her true sphere, more justly rcver>
crcrd and honorcd than in ours, and il is
with pidc that we say il; but when she as-
sumcs and dcrogutcs to herself, the right OF
taking stapd among the lords of creation,
and in such capacities as belong exclusively
to .he stcrncr sex, she must expect, that if
from no other cause, mere spirit of com.
petition would subject her 10 less respect aud
polite consideration, than in more amiable
position she would certainly receive. We
are not in the habit of daLbling into poetry,
but the following is so appropriate we cam
not furbcar:
Seek To BE- good, but aim not to be great !;
A woman's nobcst station is retreat
Her faircst virtues fly from public sight;
Domestic worih-that shuns too strong n
light"
1t would DC an awkward title, that Of NJ.
D., TO address to any lady of our acquain-
lance but habit would soon remove the
difficulty. and could ono of the fair misses,
just graduated ut this College in Philadel-
phia, be p-cv;iIcd on 10 locate in Lancaster,
we venture she would not pine for the lack

PRESENTlMENT.

WHO believes in prescntiments f--or rather
who does not! Common sense discards il,
and classes it rs n relic Of the age Of idola-
trcus superstition; and yet the strongest
minds cannot, at all times, remain inscnsiblc
TO its warnings. Many cases occur which
serve 10 give character TO the silly notions
of the marvellous, and which, with stronger
minds, cannot be accounted for by the ordi-
nary rules Of reasoning. The following,
from the Detroit Advertiser of the I'd inst,
is nn instance well authenticated
"Mr. J.C. Rogers,a young pan engaged on
this paper as n compositor, came To the of.
fee yesterday morning, and told the hands
that he was unfit tor work. Being asked
what allied him, he said that he dreamed dur
ing tho night that he saw his mother in her
collin, and the dream was so vivid, aud had
affected him so deeply, that he conld not
work. He remained about the Office all
day, much depressed in spirits, until four
o'clock in the afternoon, when he received u
tclcgraphic despatch, announcing to him that
his mother was dead. The lady had enjoy
eel perfect heath, 10 within a few hours Of
her death, and no communication whatever
had been received warning him of her ILL
ness. We have examined into these facts
carefully, and can vouch for them. The
communication of tile circunstano es of the
terrible dream was madl seven or eight
hours before the telegraphic despatch was
cent. Publicity would not br giyen to
this singular occurrence ii there existed
n shadow of doubt rs TO the entire truth OF
the main facts. The death took place on
the morning of yesterday at Niagara, e. w /.
