PROPHECIES.

On Wednesday afternoon the wooer for the
&sateen Division of Middlesex, bald an inquiry at
Shoreditch as to the death of Mae Wisdom, aged 10
years, lately residing with her parentry who expired
under very remarkable ciecumstaDoes through fright.
It appeared that the deo-teed had read the well-known
prophecies of Mother rdhipton, and had oonsecinently
become very much alarmed, the more especially as
the present year was quickly drawing to • aloes. She
very frequently cried and talked °bout the world coma-
log to an end in 1881. On Thursday last she went to
school in her usual good heath and on her return she
was weeping bitterly and speaking of Mother Balaton,
Her mAher told her it wee all nonsense, but this had
not the least effect upon her, and when she went to
bed at half-past tee she wee still crying and wr
her hands, saying she knew that the end of theirilori
would come in the night. At about half-pat three
on the following morning the mother was awakened
by hearing her cry, and upon proceeding to her bed-
