We sincerely hope, and at this WIT iting (Tuesday noon) we have strong grounds for that hope, that the Hon Wm H. Barnum may live to have the rare experience of reading his own obituaries. For several days he has been in very critical condition, and on Friday and Saturday his death was hourly expected; ; in fact Bridgeport paper, (The Daily Leader) with rare newspaper enterprise on Saturday evening announced that MT Barnum had died on Saturday morning. and then the Leader proceeded to give 8 sketch of Mir Barnum's career. Other daily papers also stated that he was dying and they also published a sketch of him.
 Mr Barnum has wonderful powers of endurance, and strong will-pover, and they have carried him through many a critical illness, and we think they will carry him safely through this illness.
 The democratic party can never repay him for his services during the recent campaign. He has sacrificed his health and imperilled his life, not merely to save the democratic party from the defeat which he we'll knew the free trade doctrine made certain, but to save bis party from extermination. He fondly hoped that after the present defeat the southern wing of the demo- cratic party might see the folly of the free trade doctrine.
 Everybody, irrespective of party. sympathizes with MT Rarnum and his family and earnestly hopes for his recovery.
