whilst a portion of the family of Mr..
John Hill, near town, (his wife and two
daughtcrs,) were attending worship at
the Lutheran Church on Sunday morn
ing last, some person or persons I'M
known, took the Inch pins out Of two
wheels from their vehicle, ard when re-
turning home the wheels came off and
they were thrown out in a mud hole.
Fortunately they were driving a trusty
horse; otherwise they might have been
fatally injured. Persons guilty of such
an outrage, the penitentiary is too good
for them, and which is suficientindex
that they will commit worse deed if
an opportunity offers. The parties
should be ferreted out at once and be
brought to justice.

Madison county, Va, in announcing his
platform, as a candidate for the State
Senate, says Il am in favor Of discour-
aging celibacy by every means in the
power of the Legislature. a heavy tax
should be imposed on all old bachelors,
old maids and childless married people,
for the purpose Of raising money to
support our free schools. would also

of a second marriage, to pay tax OF
about two hundred and fifty dollars on

REMARkABLE DREAM VERIFIED
The Richmond Wing of Tuesday con
tsins an account of a brutal murder
committed across the border, in Wilkes
county, North Carolina, a few DAYS
since. and the circumstances OF when
are not little remarkable. The ac-
count is as follows:
1t appears that gentleman, residing
in that county, a few days previous 70
the murder, sold to a neighbOr tract
of land. for which he received $1,000 IN
cash. Business calling him away from
home. soon after,h lett the money with
his wife. and on returning he stopped
over night with a friend living some
ten or twelve miles distant from his
home. In the night he dreamed that
some men entered his house, murdered
his wife and two children, stolen his
money and destroyed his property.
knowing that he had left the money
with his wife he became uneasy and
restless after his dream and requested 4
peddlar who was stopping at the house
with him to accompany him at once to
his home, for he feared there was re
alitv in the dream On arriving at las
home to his horror he found his wife
murdered and two men sitting at ia
bic counting out the money he had lett
with his wife. He and the peddiar be
inc armed, Immediately fired upon the
men and killed them, who turned out
to be the man to whom he had sold the
land. and from whom he had received
the $1,000, and his son. This Is one OF
the most atrociouS murders upon record
and shows what foul deeds money Will
lead men To commit.
