Nav. last, Mr.. Morton was awakened by
his wife from his sleep, che exclaiming.
"Our son is shot-our son is shot; heard
the pistol and saw him fall, and saw him in
the agonies of deathW He endeavored to
pacify aud quiet her by telling her it was
nothing but dream, and the effects OF her
imagination. but TO no avail. 1t took 50
strong a hold upon her that note was
made of it, and the date written down.
Both Mr.. Morton aud his wife supposed
that if there was anything in il. it referred
to the son in the army, aud the ldea OF
danger to the Que in San Francisco never
entered their minds Some time after, up
on bearing from the one IN the seventh

OTnELLo NOT MoOR,-The Veuetans
know Otheio. They have heard of Shaks-
peare, and are in ecstaces at ROssini's op-
era. but the story is curious one. They
have. since Shakespeare wrote, and Rossini
spoit what he wrote, thought it right to
make inquiries as to the foundation of the
story of Othello; but no traces of it appear
in any of the records of Venetian story. At
length they have dicovered what. probably,
is the origin Of the story on which Shaks-
pcare wrote. There was and Ia still, n no.
BILE Venetian family of II Moro. A story
something like that of Othello is said to
have happened in that family. The head
of that very noble Venetian family is usu-
ally spoken of in the third person; and
Shakespeare having heard or read Of the
story as happening to II Moro, concluded
that be was a Mauro, or Moor, and wrote
his play accordingly.
