THERE can be no doubt whatever but that there is great deal in dreams that is to say, more or less. According to the dream-books, all man has to do IS to go to dreaming to become rich, be- loved, famous, together with several greater or lesser grades of fortune. Buy a dIeam-book, by all means. A man in Chicago bought one and went into the business. The first thing he dreamed was that his child was scalded to death He took every precaution against such 8 catastrophe; but precisely two weeks two days, and two hours after the dream, the little boy was run over by fish-cart and escaped uniniured.

A piece called the "Death of Lincoln.n B was produced at Munich in the latter part of 1865.

SOMERSET, KY., is alive with interest over recently-discovered cave full of dead mems bones. The first account was that a man named Mills, who had disappeared from Somerset sixteen years ago and was supposed to have been murdered, returned, and then a woman denounced her husband and Mills and two or three other men as the murderers of a peddler for $700, which they divided among them. She told where the peddler's bones might be found, and procured the arrest of all the aforesaid men who could be reached, in- cluding her husband. Upon examina- tion five human thigh bones were picked out of the pile in the cave, which indi- cated that more than two men, and not quite three had been laid there to mould CT. The odd bone is an ingredient of the cave mystery. The men who were caught and caged are supposed to have been conducting the highway robbery and murder business on a large scale. Their base of operations was near a still house, and near the still was a wayside house of entertainment where travellers stopped for the night and it is said found eternal rest. Altogether Somerset county has an interesting cave mystery to solve. The men arrested say they know nothing about the cave or its tell tale bones.

MT. Patterson Meant What He Said.

hereby certify that my boy, 10 years of aoe was taken sick with typhoid fever, fol- lowed by congestion of the lungs. Dr. Dyer, an eminent physician of this place, stated that he thought the boy would run down with quick consumption. A MT. Patterson told me that Goes Cough Balsam was cur ing similar cases, and advised me to pur- chase it. When carried it home, my wife laughed at me; but knew that Mir.

WEsometimes hear itsneeringly said: That mans father was bootblack; or that lady's s mother was washerwoman. The sneers, of course are directed against those who are trying to make some figure in the world. Would it not be well for LIS all toput on the robes of humility?

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it superiority over all reIne- dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, GER TAIN and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers 10 the entire West eIn and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure If the directions strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for & cure, and whole families have been cured by g jingle bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and iD every more certain to cure, if its use is con tnued in smaller doses for week or two aGeI the disease has been checked more especially in difficult and long-standing eases. Usually thif medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient how ever, require a catAartic medicine after having taken three or four doses Of the Tonic, a single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient
