PRESENTrMENT,

have heard of several cases of people hurry
ing home from u presentiment of fire, and Mr..
NJ. Ca!ierwood was once, when absent from
home, sliced with such an anxiety about his fam
lily, that, without being able in any way to &C.
count for it, he felt himself impeed to fly to
them and remove them from the house they were
inhabitng; one wing of which fell down mme.
dIately afterwards. No notion of such mislor-
tune had ever before occurred to him. nor was
there any reason to expect it the accident orr.
gnaing from some defect III the foundation A
circumstance exactly similar TO this, is related
by Sitting of Professor BONN, teacher of mathe-
matics at Marburg who being one evening in
company, was suddenly seized with conviction
that he ought TO GO home. As, however, he was
very comfortably taking tea, and had nothing to
do at home, he resisted the admoniton; but it
returned with such force that at length he was
obliged to yield. On reaching house, he found
every thing as he had left it; but he now found
himself urged to remove his bed from the corner
in which il stood to another; but as it had al
ways stood there, he resisted this impulse also
However, the resistance was vain; absurd as II
seemed, he felt he must do it so he summoned
the maid, and, with her. drew the bed TO the 9TH
er side OF the room; after which he felt quite at
ease, and returned to spend the rest Of The eye
ming with his friends. AT ten O'Clock the party
broke up and he returned home, ind went to bed
and to sleep. In the middle of the night he was
awakened by loud crash, and on looking out he
saw that a large beam had fallen, bringing part
oI the ceiling with ii, and was lying exactly on
the spol his bed had occupied. One OF the most
remarkable cases OF preSentment know, Is that
which occurred not very long since on board oil

The officers being one day at The mess table, a
young lieutenant P. suddenly laid down his
knlte and fork, pushed away his plate and turned

" The Spike Society,""

The Washingtonian Journal, published a,
Portland, Maine, states that new teetotal socie-
" has been started in that city, called the "Tel.
egraphic Spike Society,"" 1t was started by two
individuals who, believing ttey had been in the
habit OF spending altogether TOO much of their
hard earnings for liquor, drove spike into a
post, and, under ten dollar obligation, agreed
that the first one who should drink, must draw
out the spike with his teeth, or forfeit the above
sun.
Each Of the members of this society agrees TO
drive spike. The spike is driven down close,
and the agreement is, that the one VINO violates
his pledge, Is, in some way, to draw the spike.
The irst spikes about seven n number were
drIven into a Telegraphic post. The society in
tend TO have new post, for this purpose. A
subsequent meeting was held, and eileen new
medbers drove spikes! THIS spike driving bu.

Apples.

The season has now arrived when scions for
grating in the spring may safely be cut The
best way is 10 cut them from bearing trees, so
that you may be sure that the fruit is the kind
that you want. Ifyou wish to bring your trees
into bearing quick, the seiohs should De cut
from the ends of bearing branches but if you
are not particular on that point, they will answer
from young and thrifty growing branches. Be
particular us TO the kinds you cultivate. There
are great many varieties grown, and in esteem,
ia portions OF the community, which, in compar-
ison with the really good kinds, are utterly I'M
worthy Of cultivation, and if we had the trees,
the first thing we soould do would be TO graft
them over. Scions, sitter cutting, should be pro-
perly labelled and put in the cellar where they
will not dry up Nor should they he whore it is
too moist tor, in that case they will perish from
the moisture. They keep well in sand that is
nearly dry. The nearer they are kept TO the
freezing point in temperature the better.

The GREAr TUBULAR RAILWAY BRIDGE
ron the CoHwAY. An important experiment
OF the great iron tube for the Chester and Holy
head Railway Bridge over the Conway, took
place recently in the presence of AIR. Stephen
son aud a large number OF engineers, together
with a party of directors. The tube Is the first
compeied eight Of them being required Tor the
bridges to be thrown across the Conway aud the
Menai Straits. Early in the week, the wedges
supporting the tube upon the platform, upon
which it was erected, we're removed, leaving ii
to rest solely upon temporary stone piers, erect
ed under each end, and having hold of six feet
only on each pier, with clear span over the rv-
er of 400 feet. Thus situated il was put to the
severest test, with a success beyond the expecta-
tIons OF lis most sangulne advocates. An exper-
iment has been made by running locomotives
and heavily -laden bailast-wagons through. One
of the trains CONSISTED Of % wagons flied with
iron, weighing upwards OF 800 tons; and, not
outstanding This enormous mass, there was
scarcely any percepuble difference in the exler-
nal outline of the tube, or the least strain IN any
way. The DETECTION, while supporting this mass,
We arc informed, was not more than TWO or three
or four inches. Another account said that IL was
as much as ii inches; but 1t IS very doubtful
