C95- HEADACHE is a favorite sign by which nature
makes known any deviation whatever from the nat
ura safe of the BRAIN and viewed in this light may
be looked on as a safeguard intended to give notice
of disease which might otherwise escape attention,
till too late to be remcdied and its indications should
never he neglected. Headaches may be classified
under two names, viz; Symptomatic and Idopathic.
Symptomatc Headache is exceedingly common and
is the precursor of great variety Of diseases among
which are Apopexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all fe-
bril diseases In its form it is sympathetic
of disease of the stomach constituting sick headache
of hepatic diseise constituting bilious headache, Of
worms, constipation and other disorders Of the bow
els as well as renal and uterine headaches Diseases
of the heart very frequently attended with Head
aches; Armenia and plethora also affections
which frequently occasion headache. ldiopathic
Headache is also very common, being. usually distn-
guished by the name Of nerros heoddehe, sometimes
coming on Suddenly in state Of apparently sound
health and prostrating at the mental and phys
ical energies; and in other instances ii comes on
slowly heralded by depression Of spirits or acerbity
OF temper. In most instances the pain is in the front
of the head, over one or both eyes and sometimes
provoking vomiting : under this class may also be
named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache the
Ccphaic Pills have been found sure and safe RENE
dy, relieving the most acute pains in few minutes,
aud by its subtle power eradicating the diseases Of
which Headache IS the un"rring index. n

singular Ful6,,ment of a Vision.


We were yesterday told of one Of those ex-
traordinary condolences which sometimes oc-
cur between dreams and subsequent events, and
which lead many people to believe that the Wis

On the S0th of October last Mr.. j. w. Paschal,
residing in Pontotoc county, near the northeast
ern corner of this county, dreamed that he be-
held his dead sister enter his room as she fire.

approached, and shook hands with him, Mr..
Paschal rcmarking that her hands were very
cold "Yes, they are cold" was the answer,
.and yours will soon be just as cold Brother,
in month will return and take yon with me. "
Mr.. Paschal related his dream, without seeming
to be experimenting anything farther. But,
strange to say, week or two ago he sickened,
and ON last Friday, November 3Oth, he died

we have received it from responsible parties, and

disseminate the principles ofthe South, in the
present crisis That il. the Legislature desired
to enuneiate her opinions heshould do so by a
report from the Committee on Federal Rela-
tons, or blythe adoption Of Resolutions. A
spirited debate ensued Oh the preamble, in which

calling a Convention, and the vote was unani-
