REMARKABLE DREAM.-The Edinburg

REMARKABLE DREAM.-The Edinburg
Statesman tells the story of a recent singular
lawsuit in Clackmannanshire the proceed
ings in which were instituted in consequence
of a dream. A young boy died and was
buried in a lot purchased by his parents,
but not fully paid for. The sexton found a
purchaser at higher price for the lot, resold
it, and removed the body of the boy without
informing the parents. On the very night
of the removal of the body. the mother
dreamt that her boy stood in his night gown
at her bed side, and said to her, "Oh
mother, put Inc back to r1y own bed" She
then woke her husband and forgetting in
half dreaming state that her son was dead
said to him. Jimmie is out of his bed put
him back into it, after which she fell
asleep, and had the same dream. A third
time during the same night she dreamt that
her son was standing beside her bed but on
this occasion, remembering that he was dead,
the figure of the grave digger was mixed up
with that Of the boy. and he appeared to be
showing his spade into the body. Awaken
ing in great trepidation, and feeling that her
boy had been taken out of his grave, she went
to the grave digger and vehemently accused
him of having dug up the body. which after
some prevarication. he at last admitted. -
Suit was brought for damages. and the grave
digger was condemned to pay e and cost.

The Frozen Truth.

The Virginia Enterprise of yesterday hits
the political situation Of California right on
the head at the first stroke In aluding to
disorganization impending the Union party
if the system of making men. rather than
principles. the basis of contest at the prima-
ries and in convention is allowed TO prevail.
it says:
1.-The Democratic or Copperhead party is
not dead, nor will it be until the present
generation Of doughfaces have been gathered
to their fathers. All who voted for McClel-
Ian last Fall wond vote for jeff Davis or the
devil to-day were either to receive the nomin.
alton of a Democratic Convention They
still number thousands in California, and
their leaders are quietly organizing them for
an assault upon the State Government when
ever division in the Union may warrant
the attack With the Administration party
divided, what assurance can be offered that
a Copperhead Legislature may not be eec
ted and Copperhead United States Sena-
tor? 1t is in contemplation of such a pos
sible result that we regard with misgivings
the existing feud in the Union party of Cali
fornia. Let us hope that it may be of short
duration. The Union men of that State
have n duty to perform of much more inpor-
tance than fighting over the Senatorial candi-
date in their own party
We heartily concur with the spirit of the
above. We. too, believe that as long as the
Northern born sneaks, who leave churches
that wear the stars and stripes from their
spires, are alive. the python, called the Dem
ocratie party, will continue to drag its slimv
length along, and incorporate in its foul
form the vipers that creep where msn dis
dain to climb" And that the adherents of
Mcclellan and pendleton would vote for
JEFF. Davis or the devil' there is no doubt :;
or for John Wilkes Booth, could that de-
ceased monster be restored to life.
The Union men of California have. indeed.
far more important duty incumbent upon
them than g fighting over the Senatorial
candidasein their own party Every man
who SEEKS TO advance his political power at
the cost oSthe disruption of the Union party.
is not whit the superior of secessiouist,
and rs such should be secuted by all Union
loving and law-abiding citizens-Bee
Verify, public sentiment is pileing up to
