TWO APPARITIONS OF IJVIXG PEUNONS IN THE SAME 1IOUSE ON THE SAME DAY.

The subjoined story is taken from the Hon. Robert Dale Owen's new book, "Footfalls on the Boundaries of Another World." The lady alluded to is, we presume, Mrs. Dufour, the poetess, a daughter of the late Calvin W. Rutcr:

Tho following narrative I owe to the fcindncso of a friend, Mrs. now of Washington, the daughter of a Western clergyman of well known reputation, recently decenscd: resided for several years in a spacious old stono house, two stories high, agreeably situated, amid fruit trees and shrubbery, on the banks of the Ohio river, in Switzerland county Indiana. Two verandas, above and below, with outside stairs leading up to them, ran the entire length of tho house, on the side next the river. These, especially the otic, with its charming prospect, were a common resort of the family.

On the 15th of September, 1845, my

On the 18th of the same month wc all went, by invitation, to spend the day at a friend's house about a mile distant. As twilight came on, finding my two little ones growing restless, wc decided to return home. After waiting some time for my sister's husband, who had gone off to pay a visit in a neighboring village, saying he would soon return, we set out without him. Arrived at home, my sister who occupied an upper room, telling mo she would go and change her walking drcs.-, proceeded np stairs, while I remained below, to see my drowsy babes safe in bed. The moon, I remember, was shining brightly at the time.

Suddenly, after a minute or two, my sister burst into the room, wringing her hands in despair, and weeping bitterly-.— "Oh, sister, sister!" she cxelaimcd, "I shall loose him! I know 1 shall! Hugh is going to die!"

In the greatest astonishment I inquired what was the matter, and thou, between sobs, she related to me the cause of her nlnrm, as follows:

As she ran up stairs to their room she 8aw her husband seated at the extremity of tho upper veranda, his hat on, a cigar in his mouth, and his feet on the railing, apparently enjoying flic cool river breeze. Supposing of coursc that ho had returned before we did, she uppronched him saying, "Why Hugh, when did 3-011 got here? Whydid you not return and conic home with us.'1' As lie made no reply, she went up to him, and, bride-like, was about to put her arms around his neck, when, to her horror, tho figure was gone and tho chair o.ypty. She had barely strength left (so grcit was the shock,) to conic down stairs and relate to. me what licr excited fears construed into a certain presage of death.

It was not till more than two hours afterward, when my brother-in-law actually returned, that she resumed her tranquility. Wc rallied and laughed at her then, and after a time, the incident passed from our minds. w-q-.

This case, in some respects, is a strong one. Their was evidently no connection between the appearance to the one sister, and that to the other. There was no excitement preceding the apparitions. In cach case the evidence, so far as one sense went, was as strong as if the real person had been present. The narrator expressly says she would unhesitatingly have sworn in a court of justice, to the presence of the boy Silas. The sister addressed the apparition of her husband, unexpected as it was, without doubt or hesitation.— The theory of hallucination may account for both these eases, but whether it docs or docs not, the phenomenon is one which ought to challenge the attention of the jurist, as well as of the psychologist. If appearances so exactly counterfeiting reality as those can occasionally cheat human sense, their possible occurrence ought not to be ignored in laying down rules of evidence. The presumption, of coursc, is in every case very strong against them. Yet

I could uot doubt thc lad's word. He had no motive for deceiving us. The island of which he spoke was two miles distant from our house and, under all the circumstances, I settled down to tho conclusion that as, in mjT sister's case, her husband had appeared where he was not, go in thc case of the boy, also it was the apjcarance only, uot the real pcrsou, that I had seen in tho evening. It was remarknblo enough that both tho incidents should have occurrcd in the same house and on the same day.

It is proper I should add that my sister's impression that the apparition of her husband fore-boded death' did not prove true. He out-lived her and no misfortune which they oould in any way connect with thc appearance happened in tho famiiy.

COL. LANE ON THE STUMP. We presume there can be no question of the nomination of Henry S. Lane of Crawfordsvillc bj- the Republican or "Opposition" State Convention, which is £0 assembleat Indianapolis on the 22d. Indeed, the Colonel, in anticipation of that event, has already taken the stump, and at a convention held in Montgomery- county on the 4th inst., took the opportunity- of defining his position on some of the questions of day. The Crawfordsvillc Journal, his own organ, in speaking of his speech, says:

During the absence of the other committee lion. Henry S. Lane was loudly called 011 for a speech. The Colonel took the stand, and for some length of time held the listening audience charmed by the power of his eloquence. He stated in the commencement that he did not wish to inilict a speech 011 the Convention, but that he felt perfectly at home when making a stump speech here, because it was here that he commenced his career in political life. lie perfectly demolished the two arch usurpers Bright and Fitch, and in fact the whole Old Line party of the State of Indiana. After speaking some time on tho local affairs of the State he turned his attention to national matters. In withering terms he denounced that moat, stupendous fraud—that, monster of all villainies the Fugitive Slave Law. He then spoke of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, in his usual manner, stating tlmt its repeal was the cause of all the strife and agitation on the slavery question now almost distracting our countrv.

He was dressed, as was his wont, in a suit of blue summer cloth, with an old palm-leaf hat without a band, and he advanced, in his usual bashful way, a step or two in the room, then stopped, and looked round, apparently in search of something. Supposing that he was looking for the children, I said to him, "Frank is in bod, Silas, and asleep long ago." lie did not reply, but turning with a quiet smile that was com-j j,0 jj inon to him, left the room, and I noticed, .- -n -i.. ,i .• ,, ,i .• New Albany who will vofuntarih proceed lrom the window, that he lingered near the •. outside door, walking backward and for- jto Indianapolis on V\ ednesday next to east ward before it once or twice.

ADVENTURE OF A PARTY OF CANADIANS THIRTEEN KILLED. The Brechin Advertiser publishes a letter from a townsman who arrived in Victoria in October last, "after thirteen months on the plains among the Indians." The writer says: Fifteen of us left St. Paul's, Minnesota, on the 16th of August, 1858, for Fraser River, with a horse cach. The first twenty days we got along pretty good, but after that our trouble commenced. The South Indians came on us in the uight, and took our. horses and provisions, tied us hand and foot, and commenced dancing around us with their knives. .One of our party could understand a "litlle of of their languagcd he got thera to understand we did not want to harm theiu that we only wanted to travel through their country, and that wc were going to pay them for it, but they would not listen to him. They said that some white men had killed some of their tribe, and their friends were to be revenged on the white men.—

and they put us in a wigwam, and left two Indians to guard us.

but it brought

an awful sight. They came and took us out to the woods, and tied cach of us to a tree, and stripped our clothes oft. They told us that the chief was a going to burn us. After the chief came, he ordered them to build a fire around the tree that John Fetch was tied to, (this is tho man that could speak to them.) They burnt him to death and killed two more, and the rest of us got away with our lives, after they had kept us about three weeks. Wc traveled on for about forty- days, and a party of Blackfoot Indians camc on us, and wanted to take our horses, but wc would not give them, so they went oft'in a rage. Wc fired on them and killed four, and then threw part of our provisions away to lighten our horses, as wc could travel faster, and trusted to our guns for meat

There is no danger of a man starving 011 the plains if he has a good gun and can use it. We traveled for fifteen days, at about fifty miles a day, and thought we had got clear of the Blackfect Indians but they followed lis till wc camc to a large river, and when wc were crossing it they fired at us from behind the trees.
