phecy from an old poem found in The
Museum:
"If Christmas day on Thursday be,
A windy winter yol shall see;
Windy weather in each week.
And hard tempesls strong and mex
The summer shall be goud and dry,
Corn md beasts shall multiply.
That year is good for lands to tn
Kings and princes shall die by skill;
lfa child born that day shall be-
1t shall happen right well for thee;
Ofdeeds lie shall be good and stable,
Wise Of speech and reasonable.
Whose that day goes thie"ing about
lie shall be punished without doubt;
Aud if sickness that day betlde,
1t shall quickly from thee glide

The election for U. S. Senator, on Tuesday
the 18th inst, is attracting good deal OF
attention. The prominent democratic can"i
dates are, j. w Forney, Chas. r. BucRaiew
and Henry D. Foster. Mr.. forney' 1t Is SAID
has the inside track, aud will, most likely
receve the caucus nomination. Mr.. Forrey
is protegt and iavorte oil Mr.. buchaha''
THIS gives him undoubted advantages over
his competitors. Henry d. Foster o' west
morelaud, is gentleman Of superior talents
and exrcllent character and will be backed
nv the West But his whole strength there
does not amount to more than II or ID Notes'

General Cameron, it is supposed, VIII p'
