with other young women belonging to the
neighborhood. While so engaged, about
two wears ago, she told some of her COM
.panions of a remarkable dream she had,
more than once in succession, which caused
her much anxiety and uneasiness at the
time. She thought she stood in the center
of q circle, which was like hayrick stand,
or something of that kind, and saw in
nu,neral letters two KS. a V, and other
symbols, which, taken together, left an in
deiible impression on her mind that she
would die on the 25th of September, 1867,
lust two years after the vision. Being out
of the ordinary course of dreaming, the
recital caused an unusual sensation at the
time. but the gossips made light of the
matter, comforting her with the assurance
that, according to the book of fate the
contrary would result in her marriage.
"Abouta year after her dream Jessie
was married to young tradesman named
Bowman, belonging to Couper. Angus, and
shortly after she removed there to live
with her husband. 1t appears that her
health gave way soon after this, and she
was believed to have fallen into consump-
ton. and the next time we hear of her she
had come to Rosemount to try and recruit
herself at a little harvest work just a fort
night since. She grew worse, took to bed
and fingered till at eight o'clock on the
evening of Wednesday, the 25th of Sep
TENDER, she died, aged twentysix years.
Such is the story vouched for and verified
by the people of the place; and what is
worthy of notice, the neighbors, re-
Numbering the dream, were wondering
some days before. her death whether 1t
would really happen on, the fatal Doth, &C
cording to the mysterious warning which
she had got two years before" r.

The Eve Eras.

The history of.the nation may bedivid-
ed into two distinct periods, on the second
of which we have just entered. The first
commenced with the formation of the
Constitution, IL continued seventy-three
wears, and eliminated in the secession of
eleven States. This was the era of com
promises with slavery, the organic law it.
self, violative of the principles of the Dec
laration of Independence, being the initial
compromise of the series. Then came the
Missouri Compromise measures of 1850,
shaking the Union to it's foundation, pre-
'ceded and followed by sundry other con-
cessions, in the shape of fugitive slave laws,
territorial bills, Supreme Court decisions,
Janus-faced platforms, and doughfaced
politicians and parties. ~ 1ai q. i
The Democratic party was the natural
outgrowth of this period and the exponent
of its ideas, Whatever of vitality lit had
was born of its connection with the slave
aristocracy, by whose aid alone it was able
SO long to dominate public opinion and
control the Government AS it conforms
it's creed to the interests Of the Southern
whites now, so it did then. But the con-
ditions which made its ascendacy possible
have passed away. 1t has become the
party of effete ideas, and with the per
yersity of senelity, refuses to see in the
present an Improvement uponth past, but
would restore, if it could, the old order Of
things, as exemplifed under "the Consti-
tuition of our fathers" & @a
The second period is the era of principle
for principles sake. 1t had its commence
ment with the Republican party--an out.
growth of the old Wing party-and was
! formed to realize and utilize the principles
enunoiated in the Declaration of Indepen
dence. on which our free institutions are
based. It's first practical triumph was in
the election of Abraham Lincoln to the
| Presidency, in $780, soon after which the
era of compromise with slavery came tc
an abrupt, bloody and disgraceful close
The mission of the Republican party, SC
| obstinately resisted by four yearsof rebel
lion, is still beset with many distractions
Powerful observation-disclosures are at WORK
| to make nugatory all its past achievements
influences set in motion by the Southern
wing of the Democratic party that ap
pealed to the arbitrament of the sword
| and pushed on by the Northern wing o
the Democratic party that gave substan
tial aid and comfort to their brethren wh'
were attempting to sustain themselves b.

before it the high, noble, and responsible

"A Mysterious Hair-Cutter.

The Evansville Qnd.) Courier tells the
following marvellous story;
"One of the most mysterious circum-
stances we have ever seen recorded oc-
Cured in Goodse1ville yesterday morning
a woman's hair being cut from her head
by an unknown hand. We learn the fol
lowing particulars of this strange affair
from gentleman who saw the hair which
was cut from the lady's head: As Miss
Meyer, Q. daughter of J. Meyer, residing
in Goodsellville, was going up in stable
loft, for some purpose or other, when half
way up the ladder she felt something touch
her on the back Of the head. She paid no
attention to this, but continued her way
up. Again she felt it, and more sensibly
this time felt keen cut through her
hair. She fell to the floor of the stable
with sharp scream, which brought the
family to her rescue. On an examination
it was discovered that the braids of her
hair had been cut Other hair being done
up in two braids. The hair was cut about
four inches from the skin, and could not
have been done with scissor, as she would
have felt that instrument. The family, on
coming to the girls assistance, searched
the premises, but could find nobody, OF
nothing to indicate that anyb body had been
IN the loft, though there is an opening on
the inside, through which a person could
Jump out. The young lady herself nei-
ther saw nor heard anything. The braid
of her hair was found afterwards in the
stable. 1t had the appearance of having
been cut even, and with a sharp instru
ment. This is indeed strange case"

The Last Illness of Governor
!. :. Andrew. f0a9aiY

~ The Boston papers give additional par
ticulars of the death Of Gov. Andrew. He
was sitting, on Tuesday evening, at his res
ideDce, in Charles street, surrounded by
? his family, and was in the enjoyment Cf
his usual health. The door bell rang, and
asmember of the Suffolk bar was ushered
into the room, when the family retired. The
Governor asked the gentleman to be seated,
and, remarking that the room was very
close, opened the window. The gentleman
stated his business briefly, wishing to retain
him in case, and, observing that he was
apparently fatigued and not disposed to
give attention to the matter, was about
retiring, remarking to the Governor that
he would call upon him at his office, as he
saw he was fatigued. The Governor re-
piled that he felt i'll, and expressed fear
of paralysis, requesting that DR.. Derby
might be called in. The Doctor was I'M
mediately summoned, and when he enter
ed the Governor made agesture significant
of his knowledge of his condition. Mrs.
Andrew entered the room, and the Gov
ernor, vino had been supported to the
couch, pressed her hand. AS he was
speechless, but not unconscious, he was
asked if he wished pencil and paper, and
signifying assent they were brought. his
right hand refused its office. and he az
tempted to use his left hand, but finding il
fruitless he placed the pencil between his
teeth, sensible even then of ms condition
but the pencil dropped from his lips, and
he passed into that sleep from which he
never awoke to a realizing sense Of the
scenes of this world.
Among some friends on Saturday even
| ing, Gov Andrew alluded to the case o.
Senator Pond, and remarked: IF eyel
have such an attack, hope to die, rather
than recover with my physical and menta
powers impaired" On the same evening
he completed the arrangements for the de
livery of his eulogy on Edward Everett
! on the occasion of the Inauguration of tht
statue in the Public garden. The 22d O
February was fixed upon as the most fit
ting anniversary for the public exercises

soAKnSe Corn FOR HoRsEs.-A CORE

SOAKING Corn FOR HoRsEs.-A CORE
spondent writes to the Prairie Farmer as
follows: zone of the best farmers that
know saves one-tbird of his corn by soak
ing it before he feeds it to his horses. His
plan is this: He places two hogsheads in
his barn-cellar, secure from the frost, fills
them with ears of corn and pores in water
enough to cover them. When well soaked
he feeds out of one to his horses, and by
the time this is exhausted the corn In the
other hogshead is well soaked. The GODS
become 80 soft that the horses eat them
with as good relish as they do the corn
and they require only about two-tmrds al
much corn as when fed without soaking
There is no doubt that the cob eaten with
the corn renders the diet moro wholesome
A certain amount of coarse feed is neces,
sary to the health of animals" 90
