STRANGE INCIDENT IN CONNECTION WITH A
YOUNG LADY's DEATH The following very
remarkable occurrence was related to us by a
gentleman in whose word we have the most
implicit confidence, and his statement was cor
roborated by Others 1t took place about two
weeks ago at a house on Morgan street, near
Thirteenth. A young lady about twenty years
of age was lying at the point of death, after
lingering through all the different stages of
consumption, which disease had over a year
ago marked her for its prey. She was confined
to her bed in room on the second story of the
house, to reach which it was necessary to as
cend flight of winding stairs. About four
house before her demise, while kind friends
and dear relatives were assembled around her
bed, expecting every moment 10 witness that
sad event, bantam chicken, of pure white
color, made its appearance in the room the
door being open. After walking around and
picking up a few crumbs of bread which were
upon the carpet, the little stranger got upon a
chair at the foot of the bed, and from that got
upon the bed and then walked over the cover
lid till it came within foot of the occupant of
the couch OF death. There it remained for
about minute. The young lady, whose eyes
had hitherto been almost closed smiled at the
approach of the intruder, and raising her hand
emaciated by disease, she gently stroked it
down, after which it went away from the place
it then occupied, descended to the floor by
means Of the chair, and took up a position I'M
der the bed. The persons in the room, not
knowing to whom the chicken belonged, nor
whence it came, ''hunted" it out, and in few
minutes it was down stairs again. In less than
an hour, however, the sick room door being
open, they were all surprised to see the same
little animal come again, accompanied by a
black chicken, and when the two walked into
the room quite deliberately, fear struck the
hearts of them all, one of the ladies remarking
lit was some sign" They did not attempt to
eject either of the unexpected visitors, but per-
mitted them to occupy any position they
liked The two chickens, after walking about
the room for WHILE went under the bed,
where they remained about an hour, during
which time the young lady died What is
most wonderful about this, is the fact that no
person in the house or neighborhood can tell
where either the bantam or the other came
from, or to whom they belong nor could it be
ascertained where they went when they left
the room. The persons living in the house,
nor those occupying the adjoining dwelling,
had never kept live chickens.-.St Louis Dem.

man, claiming to be Milanese merchant, but
suspected us an Austrian spy, was brought be-
fore a court martial at Brescia He defended
himself coolly, though protesting to have lost
papers which would confirm his report of him
self. Suddenly the colonel presiding said,
"Step forward a little ] cannot hear well"
The man obeyed. "My friend, said the colo

arms close to your Sides and the little finger

poor fellow confessed.

Monday, at Chsrlestown, was spent BY Gov
Wise in grand review of the troops, and, together
with bis staff, visit TO the prisoners. A long ID
teryiew was had. in which the Governor exhorted
the prisoners to prepare for death, as he would not
interfere in their behalf. Brown informed him that
be was prepared to die, and justified bis course
Cook was willing TO be shot, but had repugnance
10 hanging. Gov. Wise said that Coppic was the
only one whose sentence he had even thought Of
committing but he had now determined to hang
them all. The Governor of South Carolina has ten
dered any amount Of military to aid in defense Of
Virginia; but Gov Wise replied that Virginia was
able to defend herself. 1t appears that some wise
acres in New-York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio have
overwhelmed Gov. Wise with letters, informing
him that rescuing bands are forming in those States
thus keeping up the fright which has deprived the
F.F.vs Of their accustomed comfort and regular
sleep

would-be savior Of Tammany Hall. AS such he IA
entitled to the votes Of all who think Tammany
ought TO be saved, and to not one more.

A LESSON.

At .h- recent election a vigorous attempt Was
made to secure an Ant-RePubEcan Senator in The
XVIII District, composed Of the counties Of
Ontario, Seneca and Yates. The average majority
Of the united Democratic and American vote in that
district over the Republican in the elections Of lS57

Ontario was q prolific fountain of Slver-Gray

For the first four offices above, the candidates
opposed to the Republicans were supported by a
union of the Americans and Democrats, three OF
whom il viii be seen, are elected, and for the re-
naming FIVE Offices, the successful candidates were
supported by the Republicans and Americans.
IL will be seen that Jones, Democrat, for whom
the Americans voted, received 25,3o7 more votes
than Church, whom they did not support; that
Denniston, Republican, whom the Americans In
dorsed, received 24,723 more votes than Leasen-
worth, who received only Republican support. So
that the Brooks-Americans appear to have cast
about q, coo votes for the Utica ticket.
1t will be observed that Leavenworth, who re-
ceiyed only Republican support, has about 5000
more votes than were cast for Gov. Morgan last
year. while Church's vote is about 5000 less than
that of Parker, who was beaten BY Morgan by

The fact that Gov. Wise's term Of Office ia just

next he retires TO private life, tends to explain the
tremendous flourish made by him over the
Harper's Ferry affair, his marching and counter
marching, bis fastening from Richmond to Charles
town, and from Charlestown sto Richmond, his
calling out of troops, his letter-writing and his
speech-making, and his evident determination to
