ly afterward,his,hat being discovered float
ing on the water, search was made, which
resulted in the recovery of his body. Tho
deceased was a young man well thought of
by his employers and all who knew him.
Ho leaves a mother and two sisters, who
will have the sympathy of many friends in

A Curious Document. The person fur
nishing tiHie following singular document
purporting to bo a vision, has had the man
uscript in his possession for over twenty
five years. Ho is confident that it had been
written some years pevious to that, but if I
even written twenty-five years since, tho
reference to events, which, at that timo
were not even thought possible, and which i
have since taken place, renders it at least '
worthy of being classed as a "curious doc-
ument," and wo accordingly hero give it to
our readers :
Josurn IIoag's Vision.
"About the year ltj03, in the eighth or
ninth month, 1 was ono day alone in tho
field and observing the sun shone clear but
a mist eclipsed its brightness. As I reflect
ed on the singularity of the event, my mind
was brought into a silence, the most sol
emn I ever remember to have witnessed ;
for all my faculties were low and unusually
brought into deep silence. I said to myself
what can all this mean? I do not recollect
ever before to have been sensible of such
feelings ; and I heard a voice from heaven
say, 'This that thou see'st which dims tho ;
brightness of tho sun, is a sign of present j
and coming times. 1 took the forefathers '
from a land of oppression ; I planted them !
among the people of the forest ; I sustained '
them, and whilo they wore humble 1 bless
ed them, and they became a numerous peo- j
pie ; but they have become proud and lifted '
up, and have forgotten me (who nourished j
and protected them in the wilderness), and
aro running into every abomination and .
evil practice of which the old countries are
guilty, and have takan quietude from the
land and have suffered a dividing spirit to
como among them. Lift up thine eyes and j
beiioiu : ami 1 saw tliem dividing m great
heat. This division began in the Presbyte
rian society, and went through the various
religious denominations, and in its progress
and show its ell'ects were nearly tho same.
Those who dissented went oil' with light
hearts and taunting language, and thoso
who kept to their first sentiments appeared
exercised and sorrowful. And when the
dividing spirit entered into the society of
Friends, it raged in as high a degree as
any, and as before, those who separated
went off with a lofty look and censuring,
taunting language. And thoso who kept
their ancient principles retired by them
selves. It next appeared in the lodges of
the Free Masons, and broke out like a vol
cano, until it set the country in an uproar
for a length of time ; then it entered poli
tics throughout tho United States, and pro
duced a civil war, in which abundance of
human blood was shed in the combat. The
Southern States lost their power, and sla
very was abolished; then a monarchial pow
er arose find took tho government of the
States end established a national religion,
and m le all societies tributary to its sup
port. I saw men take property from friends
to a great amount. I was amazed at all
this, and heard a voice proclaim, ' This
p twer shall not always stand, but with it
I will chastise my church until they return
to the faithfulness of their forefathers.
Thou see'st what is coining on thy nation
for its iniquity and the blood of Africa,
the remembrance of which has come to mo.'
This vision is yet for many years, but it
has become such a burden that I have writ
ten it."
Trouble at Dickinson College has arisen
between a part of the students and tho Fac
ulty. On tho day of tho celebration of the
15th Amendment, tho Students desired to
witness the parade, and consequently ab
sented themselves from recitation without
leave, which had been refused them. In
consequence of this action the absentees
were given a number of minus marks which
tho students thought excessive, and upon
tho refusal of the Faculty to reduce tho
number, tho entire Sophomore and Junior
classes determined to attend to no further
duties at tho College, until their demands
were complied with.
The result of this action was tho suspen
sion of both classes until September, with
orders to the students to leavo town. Thirty
five of them therefore loft for their homes
last week, and unless the quarrel ia com
promised in somo manner, tho end will bo
the expulsion of tho whole number.
