Of native Agerines in the service of France.-upon
their arrival at Genoa These brave children of the
desert are more familiar with the bayonet than with
geography, and they expected to find the Austrians
upon the shore to dispute their landing. When the
ships in which they came had cast anchor in the
harbor, and they saw the boats provided for their
debarkaton approaching, the Turcos precptately
affixed the bayonets to their pieces, and rolling their
ferocious eyes, rushed forward in emulation with each
other to leap first into the boats they supposed were
to convey them to the fight The French officers
| interposed, demanding what they were about. 1.-The
enemy responded the Infatuated Turcos, pointing
eagerly to the Piedmontese soldiers drawn up in q
line upon the quay at Genoa. 1t quite difficult
to dissuade them of this idea and prevent them from
taking by assault city which awaited them with
open arms and with mountains Of boquets. After
they were landed, they were in search of supplies
but presently issued from the shops in state o
excitement, asking of their officers, 1" What mean

poets improving upon the arrival of trains from
the States. Great hopes were entertained of abun-
dant crops throughout the Territory, in consequence
of recent rains
The Arkansas and other streams were in flood,
causing some delay to the outward bound trains.
About three miles above the Pawnee Rock party
of Texas United States soldiers surprised seventy
five or eighty lodges of Camanches, routing them
completely, killing twenty-five men and twenty
women.
The mail party met three Mexican boys, on fine
horses, who had escaped from the Indians, and were
going back to Mexico in company with Peters and
party from Moro. Some persons who visited the
grounds occupied by the Indians say that buffalo
robes shields and other trappings were scattered
around as if left in their haste to get away.

GIRL IN TRANcE.-The Peoria (Tll.) Union
obtains from Mr. R. D. Story the following account
of vertable trance which his daughter Elizabeth,
young lady of Is years, recently experienced:
The only premonitory symptoms seem to have been
that on the previous morning she felt like she had
not slept all night, and yet not conscious of hav
ing been awake" She was in good health and spr-
its through the day. (3lst ut) but retired early and
seemed so soundy asleep when her sister came to
bed that the latter could not wake her. In the
morning she was found apparently dead. The Union
continues: =" In q few hours preparations were in
progress for the burial of the body and Thursday set
for the funeral. The neighbors were called in, and
after consultation all decided it best to bury her
at the time suggestedno considering necessary
to call physician. On Wednesday evening, how.
ever, before the coffin had been brought while the
younger brother was looking the face of his dead
sister, he thought he the lips moue and liyid
with fear ran to communicate his suspicious to his
mother. She was just entering the front door,
| receiving some friends from Henry county, and at
the announcement uttered most agonizing shrek of
| surprise. This was instantly followed by one from
the chamber where Elizabeth was lying and when
the mother and friends entered the room she was
| sitting on the cooling board, much surprised at
the alarm of her friends they were at her sudden
recovery from what they thought the grave. The joy
OF her friends at her recovery better be imagined
than described. Mr.. Story is lately from Henry
county, and his statement stands endorsed by four
families residing near him. On Saturday morning.
Miss Story was in perfect health, but from dread
superstition will not explain her feelings while in the
state Of trance. She avoids speaking Of it,

A LIGHT DRINKER. A Scotch parson once
preached a long sermon against dram drinking, .
vice prevalent in his parish and from which, report
said, he was not free himself " Whatever ye do my
brethren, do it with moderation, and, above all, be
moderate in dram drinking. When you get up, in
deed, ye may take dram, and another just before
breakfast, and perhaps another after; hut dnna
always be dram drinking II ye are out in the morn,
you may just brace yourself NJ, with another dram,
and perhaps take anither before luncheon and some,
fear, take after, which is not very blameabIe
but dinna be always dram drumming away. Nae.
when the dessert is brought in and after it is aen
away and perhaps ane and it may be twa, in the
of the afternoon just ia keep ye from drowsy
ing or smoothing but dinna be always dram dram
ming. Afore and after tea, and between tea and
supper is no more than right and good, but let me
caution We, brethren, not to be always dram dram
ming. Just when you start for bed, and when you
are ready to pop intot to take dram or two is no
more than christian may lawfully do but, my
brethren let me caution You not to drink more than
have mentioned, or may be we may pass the bounds
of m oderaton.
