Mr.. MCGEE's DREAM-The Canadian
Freemen relates The following "Palm
Sunday-two days before the assassina-
tion-Mr. .McGee spent with an esteemed
friend in OttaWa-from the members of
whose family we heard the particulars Of
what we are about to narrat6. The de-
ceased went to Holy Communion in the
morning at early Mass. During the fore
part Of the day he wrote letters to the
Earl Of Mayo and DR.. Topper, who is now
in London. After Dinner be retired to
the library and had a Short sleep. Upon
returning to the family circle, he said
he felt somewhat annoyed at a singular
dream he had had. Upon the ladies as King
him to repeat it he said :. Z dreamt
was standing by the Fall Of Niagara, and
saw boat containing two men sailing
down the rapids, and approaching the brink
Of the cataract. Seeing their danger and
apparent ignorance Of it, I rushed forward
to warn them. The boat turned round
and proceeded up the rapids, and I went
over into the gulf beneath These are,
as near as possible, the words in which
Mr.. McGee told dream which seems to
have been a promonition of that death
which So soon followed. Il certainly
derives great significance from its awful
fuIfillment."

The New Dominion Parliament has
voted a yearly allowance of 81 200 to Mrs.
MCGEE, and a sum of $1,000 to each of
her daughters, to be invested in Dominion
stock, until they come of age. A good
deal Of indignation is expressed that the
amount is SO small, and the niggardness
of the government is freely commented
upon. There is talk of having the matter
reconsidered in Parliament, with view to
increase the amount. 1T is said McGee

DEATH OF WILLIAM G. RIvEs.-A
dispatch from Charlottesville, Va, an
nounces the death Of William G. Riyes,
which took place yesterday morning, in
the 10th year of his age. Mr.. Rives
served in Congress for three terms from
1923 to 1929. In the latter year he was
appointed Minister to France by President
Jackson. On his return, in 1882, he was
elected Senator in Congress, and re-

and remained in that position until 1915:
In 1849 he was a second tine appointed

to the Confederate CongesS. At the close
Of the rebellion he disappeared from public
view, and his name has scarcely been

FAREwELLs TO DICKENs.-Tho ''fnal
farewell Of Dickens with his friends on
the hour of lis departure was one OF gen
uine feeling. A company ofspecial friends
saw him on board the steamer RUssio-a
lunch and some toasts followed, when the
bells rang and the farewell5 commenced.
Dir. Dickens and Mr. Fields embraced
each other With great farvor; indeed the
paintings were all Of that earnest kind
which men feel however much they laugh
at the sentiment when the thought comes
to the mind at such times. "Porhaps on
earth [ may never more behold with eyes
Of sense this outward form and sembtance"
When the tug had left the great ship, and
was turning her PROV again toward the
city, three hearty cheers and a tiger were
given for Mr.. Dickens, three more for
Mr.. Dolby; and again as the distance
rapidly increased, three more for Sir.
ens-haudkerchiefs futtering and
hats waving until the landing was reached.
Mr.. Dickens takes with him numerous
souvenirs from his many personal friends
in this country, and countless floral OF
ferings. among other of the latter from
the ladies' Of the Westminster Hotel, and
a basket with the word FFarewell" in the
center, from Mr. Childs. The Russia
left about half-past o'clock.

A FARM MORTGAGE CAsE.-~We learn
from the Commonwealth that the Sheriff
Of Fond du Lac county is required to fore
close on some twenty farm mortgages in
the vicinity of Brandon. The givers of
these mortgages have not known till now,
who owned the demands against them,
and we're congratulating themselves on
escape, when suddenly the papers are
forwarde from a Probate Court in Con-
necticut, coming down on the unfortunate
mortgagors like an avalanche. The ac-
cumulated interest makes them about
double the sum they were given for; and
litigation that has attended similar mort
cages, gives the debtors no hope of avert
ing Judgment.

Sir Robert Napier, commanding the
British army in Abyssinia, is not direct

He is a native Of Ceyloh, entered the
Indian army at the age of sixteen, and

years. Without family connection or
patronage, no has fought lis way up to
the foremost rank in the Indian army, is
Knight Of the Bath and Of the Star of

A body which had been preserved
seventy-two days by a new process Of en-
balming was dissected recently at Belle
vue Hospital, New York. The dissection
showed thai the new process was entirely
satisfactory, and it may be an era in
scientific discovery. But this was by no
means the remarkable feature Of the gath
ering at Bellevue. The corpse to be dis
sected was that of woman, and with
Doctors Sayre, Purple, Peters, and a
large number Of equally well known mem
bers Of the medical profession, we're two
female physicians, one of whom was too
young to have been long in the profess
ion, or at least in the practice Of surgery
and medicine. The women were inter-
ested spectators Of the dissection, and the
physicians of the masculine persuasion,
the younger of them particularly, who
used to jibe and jeer at the very. idea of
feminine practitioners, acknowledged
the equality of these women and their
rights to be present at this interesting
dissection.

On the sixteenth of April, an election
for a judgeship was held in Andrew
Johnson's old district, in Tennessee. IN
that district there are but few negroes
hardly any, in fact. The candidates were
Mr.. Woodward, Republican, resident OF
Mr.. Johnson's OWE village Of GreenviIle,
and Colonel Brown, who ran upon a
johnson ticket. The canvass turned upon
impeachment, Mr.. Woodward openly adj
vocated impeachment and denounced the
President Colonel Brown was johnson
man, and defended the President and
denounced Congress, Mr.. Woodward
is pronounced enemy of Andrew j ohm
son, and has been for a long time. Col
onel Brown is Andrew Johnson's friend
and admirer No issue was much talked
Of in the canvass except impeachment.
The result was the triumphant election of
Dir. Woodward, who carried the village OF
Greenville, Mr.. Johnson's own home, by
good majority, and the district bya very
large majority.
Evidently Mr.. Johnson's old neighbors
are not prepared to welcome him home
very cordially. This election is d gentle
hint that they do not particularly pine for
for His presence in Green9ille, while they
are as anxious as anybody for his absence
from Washington. Seeing that he is
coming back among them, they thought
it would be the sagacious thing to have
an honest Radical judge, and a sound
court, ready for any omefgency.-Detrol'

ending with tho impeachment trial of
