One of the married ladies of
Charleston who embarked in the
fated Home steamer, and who had
passed the summer in the north,
resided for several months previ
ous to her departure with a rela
tive in this city . On several oc
casions, while silting alone in her
room, she related to a number of
persons in the family, and to
fiieiuls who visited her, thai she
could not account for the remarka- j

Tke Jlanuul Meteoric Shoicer
of 13th JVovembtr. Vho Nw
Haven Herald contains an inter
esting paper, from Professor Olm
sted, detailing the particulars1 ol
! his observations of the annual me
teoric shower on Monday before
last. We make from it the follow -
in!i extracts:
In order that every part of the
firmament might receive its due
share of attention, the four ooar-
ters of the heavens were parcelled
out among eight persons, two to
each quarter, one to obseive and
one to record.
The full moon, however, shone
with so strong n light as almost to
hide the stars; permitting none lo
be seen btlow the third magnitude;
of course, no meteois but those i.l
unusual brightness could be visi
ble. No shooting stars were observ
ed until five minutes past one o'
clock, when they began to appear
at considerable intervals, emana
ting as usual from the head of Leo,
which c nstellation was then as
cending the eastern sky. The
meteois gradually increased in
number and biightness until day-
light. Nearly all, as they darted
forth, left visible traces of their
paths. Some of these were bril
liant, and all must have had a
nigh degree of brightness to have
overcome so strong a moonlight
The whole number counted
the present occasion, alhr3o'-
clock, the numbers rapidly in-
creased and remained nearly uni-j
than sixty distinct spots.

From the justice who officiated
at the above wedding, we learn
the following rather extraordinary
particulars. The above named
Mr. Green is about 30 years old,
and Mrs. Julia is his second wile.
But what is more, ami almost in

about 50 years old, smd Mr. Green
is her a'ghlh husband, till if whom
are living, except one ! We wish
some friend in Whitewater tc.wn

world, a .history of the above
named Julia Jacobs, and how she
has disposed of so many husbands!
It might be of benefit to some
other unlucky dame who is tired

Astonishing Fact... An in
dividual who had no faiih in
anim tj magnetism, was ad
vised to magnetise somebo
dy, for evidence that would
convince him. That he might
not be duped by his patient,
he selected a cat that had
fits and other nervous disor
ders, hoping that he might
cure them. After putting
the cat to sleep, he willed
her to wag her tail. She did
so. He then willed her to
lie it up in a knot. She did
so. Greatly agitated with
his success, he waited a few
moments to become tranquil
ant) then vvilled her to
speak; whereupon her "mouth
slowly opened, and she be
gan to mew in a pilcous
manner, so as to convince
the magnctiscr thai she was
in distress; he therefore
willed that she should a
wake. This individual is
now a fnm believer in ani
mal mauni'tism, and has no
doubt that the next time tho
cat is magnetised she will
pronounce words.
