From the Norfolk Virginian, 17th.l


An old negro woman, one of the an
cient regime, living in family on upper
Church street, and who lives in a very
old kitchen adjoining the residence,
dreamed for several nights in succession
a few weeks ago, of finding concealed
treasure about the house. She paid no
especial attention to the dreams, but did
not speak of them to any one.


During the present week the dream
was repeated, and more wildly than
before. On Thursday afternoon she was
sitting by her fire, smoking, when the
dream occurred to her mind, and she
determined to search for the treasure
Taking up several loose bricks in the
hearth, she commenced digging in the
earth beneath, and in few moments she
was rewarded by finding very much
decayed wooden box. On taking this
up she found that it contained guam
tity of paper money, supposed to be
some of the old Continental currency, a
gold watch, the works of which had been
destroyed by rust, and number Of gold
and silver coins of English and Spanish
money.


The paper was almost destroyed, the
writing and printing being illegible, but
the coins were in an excellent state of
preservation. This is given to US as a
fact, aud if true, is one of the most sin
gular events of which we have ever
written. We leave to spiritualists and
believers in supernatural agencies to
solve the connection between the dreams
and the finding of the treasure. As
there caa be no living claimant for the
watch and money, the latter of which is
said to be worth several hundred dollars,
the old woman will remain as the legatee
of the one who earthed his treasure.

And thought how life is but day,
ana now the nations, each in turn,
Have lived and passed away.
The earth is peopled " ith the dead


Who live again in deathless hosts,
And come and go with noiseless tread,
A universe of ghosts.
They follow after flying ships


They flicker through the city's marts,
They hear the cry of human lips,
The beat of human hearts.
They linger not around their tombs,
o. But far from churchyards keep aloof.
To dwell in old familiar rooms,
Beneath the household roof
They waken men at morning light
They cheer them in their daily care
They bring weary world, at night,
TO bend the knee in prayer
Their errand is of God assigned,
To comfort sorrow till it cease.
And in the dark and troubled mind

There is a language, whispered low,
whereby to mortal ears they speak
10 which we answer by glow
That kindles in the cheek

Wherein we walk gilded way,
And over holy ground.

And yearnings still the same!

Still clasp US with as true hand

/: Faith without works is dead" A nro.
fesslon OF faith which produces no fruit is vain
deluson. But this is no reason why we should
rest our confidence on the fruit of faith instead
OF on Christ. Others can recognize our faith
only as they see its effects. Yet they NAV be
deceived, and may conclude that We have faith
when we know that We do not believe. Back
or all Its effects, man knows if his heart con-
hdence is in Christ or not DR.. Bonar saws


The consciousness OF moving accompanies
motion; the consciousness of seeing accompanies
looklng; the consciousness Of loving accom-
panles love; SO the consciousness of believing
accompanies the act of believing. Ifnot there
is no certainty In anything. If am liable to be
mistaken as to my simple act of believing I
am much more liable to be mistaken as 10 nv
complex act of examination into my own feel
ings, motives and principles


z. Faith Is not my saviour, but Christ, in
whom faith rests. Romaine says in a letter.
You want comfort, and you look to your faith.
1t faith could speak, it would say, Comfort is
not In me: look to Jesus it is all in Him. In
deed, my friend, it is The Holy Ghost. the
Comforter, will not glorify your faith He will
not give 1t the honor of comforting you He
takes nothing to comfort with but things of
Christ and His things. not as used by you, but
as given from Him This lesson, think, He
is teaching you. He is bringing you off from
looking at your faith He intends that YOU
should not regard how you believe, but to settle
you in believing. The Spirit has been teaching
me to draw my comfort not from how we'll I
believe, but from Jesus Christ, in whom | be-
lieve. The Witness

snake in unpleasant proximity. After dancing
awhile, she was greatly distressed by feeling =

head Of the monster tightly, she screamed aloud
for assistance. a hasty consultation among the

sistance. He was quickly on the spot, and be-
Ing man OF uncommon courage, was not many
moments within the circle of half fainting
females before he had canght the tail of the
snake, and wound it firmly around his hand,
telling Miss NJ. that she must let go the moment
he jerked, and to make the act as instaneous as
possible. he told her that he would pronounce
the words one two, three, aud that at the mo-
ment he pronounced the last word, she must
let go her hold, and that he doubted not that
he could withdraw the snake before it would
have time to strike. All stood in breathless
horror awaiting the act Of life or death, and
the moment the words were pronounced the
doctor jerked out the longest aud diabolicsl
looking hustle that ever was seen. The whole
affair was soon explained the fastening OF the

Orlando n. Joslysa et al. u.s. Uiaianl Heath et al,

the Issues in which have for some time involved
good deal OF curious ana interesting litigation in.
Guiding question as TO the jurisdiction OF the
Supreme Court over the Common Pleas, were OH the

dav. II will be remembered by the readers OF the
HERALD In which all the facts pertaining to these
cases have already fully appeared that they grow
out OF that ever memorable "Black Fridayn In Wall

On the first case being called from the calendar,


EX-Judgc Emott said he was ready to proceed


Mir. David Dudley Field, on behalf of the defend
ants, said he was not ready to go on. lie said an
order had been made at the Special Term OF the
Supreme Court removing the causes from the Court
OF Common Pleas to that court. An appeal had
been taken by the plaintir from that orderto the
General Term OF the Supreme Court, which was
fully argued there, but which not yet decided.

decision Of an appeal from an error for the making

Mr. Field said that under the order OF Judge

In the Court Of Common Pleas to postpone the trial
for some reasonable time to await the decision of
the General Term Of the Supreme Court


Mr.. EmOtt contended that the meaning OF the pro-
vision OF the code under which these suits were
transferred contemplated q transfer TO some other
county and not transfer from one court to another
court or coordinate jurisdiction in the county
He hoped. therefore. that the Court Of Common
Pleas would not permit its dignity TO be assailed by
an order from Judge OF another court OF cO.Ordi-
nate jurisdiction. It was within the power Of the
Court OF Common Pleas to determine whether
Judge or General Term Of the Supreme Court could
deprive 1t OF its jurisdiction OF pending bsfore

SUICIDE.-It is our painful duty to in
form cur readers ofthe sudden death Of
one ofthe Oldest and earliest settlers ofour
county, Mr. Wiemann, of Neshoto, who
in fit of insanity took his own life last
Monday evening in the rear of his farm
on the Neshoto river, by shooting himself.


We have known him since he first
landed in Two Rivers some twenty-fye e
years ago, with his wife and numerous
family Of little children. He bought a
farm near Neshoto on which he has work
ed hard ever since, SO that he was in quite
good circumstances still the fixed idea
grew upon him that he was poor and that
his credit was ruined forever, which, with
increasing coniugal difficulties, led him to
end his troubles by taking his own life.
He was we'll educated and, wherever
known, highly esteemed for his strict
honesty in every transaction and urbanity
and kindness to his family aud friends.
