PREsESTMEsT IN a DREAa-This morning a
young lady, daughter of Heman Miller, track
master of the Central Railroad, told her parents
soon after she arose, that she had dreamed last
night that Mr.. Keist, who attends the railroad
bridge at Aliens creek was killed, and that
Mrs. Keist came to the house TO tell Mr.. Miller.
A short time after relating this dream, and
while the family were at breakfast Mrs Keist
came in to tell that her husband was killed by
the cars last night at Brighton. So impressed
was the girl with the force Of the dream, that
she ran to another room when she saw the wo-
man approaching the door, as she felt sure that
she had tale Of sorrow TO tell. Mr.. Kiest was
German, who had worked for a number OF
years on a railroad, under the direction Of Mr..
Miller, and his wife had often called at his
house. When Miss Miller told her dream, Mr..
Miller had not heard of the accdeut indeed,
the coroner having charge ofthe body, did mot
know who the unfortunate man was. While
there are thousands of dreams that are not pre-
monitory, now and then there is one that is 10
say the least, coincidental with natural occur
rences, Of which the dreamer knew nothing

FEDERALisM.-weh have heard that one or two
of our subscribers take exceptionto our calling
them federals. We are plain man, who talks
plainly upon all subjects; and, as consc-
quence, some of our remarks will fit some one,
and perhaps tightly. This is our intention. We
did not expect that we had many subscribers
among the federals to complain of our course.
But We have one consolation; in looking over
our past course VIC have nothing to regret, but
would do the same thing over again. The
ISoulRER speaks our views we mean what we
say, and il any one thinks worth whilo to pro-
scribe us for having opinions of our own, let
him do so, We can stand it. But there is no
man can buy us by giving US his countenance
or subscription. All we have 70 say upon this
subject is, those who do not like our course is
to take the less Of it; we will now and forever
print just what we think, if only ten men in
the State Of Delaware takes the paper. We
can support it outside of Delaware politics and
the tools of office-ho.ders.

CoRREoTIoSs.-1'h Delaware Gazette of yes
terday, contains about quarter of column
to correct the report of its reporter Of the pro-
ceedings Of the County Convention, on Satur-
day last. This was altogether unnecessary
the reporter was correct; there is no use truck
ling before the prescription of Buchananism.
Caleb, have the manliness when your reporter
does the work correctly to sustain him. Ifitwere
our reporter, no party managers could induce
us to play the sycophant, so much as to falsify
our own columns and to hold out the idea that
the reporter was not fit to perform the func-
tons of his post. A true reporter is an orna-
ment to society, and Caleb need not be ashamed
of his report of last Saturdays proceedings
Caleb "it is dirty bird that befouls his own
nest'-stand up for your paper, for your friends
will kill you off soon enough they have been
making overtures to do it already. The Ca
sette, nor any other paper, can be sustained on
any other basis but the truth.

Be7y" The Chicago journal of the l3th tells
the following extraordinary story;
This morning, case was examined before
Justice Aiken, which has an air of romance
around it, and exhibits a revelation of real life
from which most thrilling tale of fiction could
be wrought. woman named Ellen Welch
was found last night by one Of the policemen
rowing about the streets, slightly intoxicated
She was arrested upon the charge of vagrancy
Parties who are knowing to her history inform
us that some five or six years ago Ellen ran
away from Ireland in company with a dashing
young lrishman, whom her parents had forbid
den her TO marry Her father lived at Castle
Kearney, and was man of opulence and infu-
ence,and Ellen had been we'll brought up. But
with that perverseness which is always char
acteristic of love, was bent on marrying the
young officer. She accordingly eloped with
him, and came to Philadelphia, where she was
married.
She lived with her husband about year, at
the expiration of which time he died. She
then came to Chicago and married again but
again was doomed to misfortune. Herhushand,
who had the reputation Of being an excellent
man, was drowned in the river BY falling from
schooner. Ellen maintained herself by sew
ing for time but finally fell in with disrcpu-
table characters, who Heeeed her out of her
clothing, and an allowance of thirty dollars
which she received every three months from
her father, through the priest. She took to
drinking and by gradual descents soon fell to
a low depth. We know from iudubitable
sources that this woman, this morning arragn-
ed before the Police Court for beinf a common
vagrant is an own niece to Daniel oConnell,
the great Irish orator and reformer, her mother,
Mary O'Connell being his sister. Her parents,
as we said before, occupy Castle Kearney, 10
Ireland, and are known through the length
and breadth of ireland as family of opulencc,
and widely esteemed for their many acts of
kindness.

tits curious fact, not generally known, that
New jersey has fugitive slave law of her own,
enacted in 1898, and re-enacted with modifca-
tions in 1896 and 1916. The STAKEHOLDER or
his agent can apply to Common Pleas Judge,
and the arrest will be made by the sheriff. and
the question of property decided by three
judges. This law is in accordance with that
Interpretation of the fede al constitution which
makes the restoration of fugitive slaves the dn-
~ Of the States. New Jersey has also law
authorizing u stakeholder to take his slaves
through the STATE, and to make temporary
residence with them.
