SINGULAR-A DREAM VERIFIED.-A gentle
| man from Wnpello, who was stopping at the
! Ogilvie House, one night this week, dreamed
! that his horse which he had left ut a livery
stable, had got down with the halter around his
neck in such a manner that he was in danger of
choking to death. The dream made such o
vivid impression on his mind that he awOke
| and went at once to the stable, where he found
! the horse in the precise condition seen in his
dream. This circumstance may be relied upon
as truthful. 1t Is certainly singular psycolo-
gical fact. Is there not, after all, something in
dreams?
INFORMATION WANTED.-Wm. .. Jones, Co. F,
25th Iowa Infantry, was wounded at LovejOy's
Station, Ga, the ball entering near the right
ear and coming out near his right eye. DIR. Farr
dressed the wound. AS reported to Gen. Baker,
Jones was taken to Atlanta and there procured
q pass to come North, but there is some doubt
i II he moved North He might have been left At
the 4th corps hospital Mt Atlanta. If any soldier
who accompanied him after he received his
| wound can give any information in relation to
Jones, it is requested that he write to Mr.. Jones'
| mother, Mrs. D. NJ. Jones, Columbus City. Iowa.

A NEW FERRY.-It may be rather premature
| to commence talking about new ferry boat
but we are interested in this matter, and now
that the old "Decalion'' is numbered among the
things that were, we wish to urge upon the pro-
prietOrs the necessity of procuring q more
substantial boat. If we had good boat to
ply between the shores of Illinois and Iowa our
merchants would soon feel the benefit of it, by
| . large increase Of trade from Illinois-a trade
which now goes either above or below us. Let
| us have good ferry boat and the road near the
| landing on the other shore repaired, and we are
sure the results will be gratifying to all parties.
| WILD HoRNET.-This horse has been sold by
his owner, G. ". Connor, to d. A. GagA, of Chi
cago for $500. Mr. c. raised this horse from
colt, and deserves great credit for the careful
| training he has given him. We are informed
| that he was offered $500, as bonus by the citi-
| zenS Of this place, to keep the horse here, and
that he offered Mr.. Gage $3.50 to rue the contract
and allow him to bring him back. Wild Hor-
nets colts are sought after by horsemen, and
considered superior to all others raised in this
| county. This horse has never been sufficiently
patronized by our citizens to insure his remain.
