diately after divine service oil Sunday

ave do not know that ur late broth
er had any presenlIment OF the neur ap.
proach ofIhe end Of his labors Oh earth,
but circumstance occurred on The day
before hls death which, TO say the least,
was very remarkable. DR.. Croswell
was in Il bookstore, in company with two
clerical brethren; in reply TO one Of
them. who asked him which way he
was walking, said: Il must 20 home
and finish my last sermon This reply
nj once arrested the attention of the 9th
cr clerical brother. who, in his peculiar
ly earnest ana aiirctiona,e manner, laid
His hand lamliaTiy upon the Doctors
shoulder nnd said You do not mean,
my brother, your last sermon, bur your
last sermon this week" To this remark
DR.. CrosweI made no repiH and soon
after they separated, never mere again
10 meet Oh cnrll."
A JUST SENTEACE.-A person nan ed
Brooks. has been convicted OF murder in
the second dcgr, e. before the Court in
Cuynhoga county Ohio for placing an
obstruction on the track of the Ccave-
land and Pirsburge Railroad, by means
OF which an engineer lost his !e. The
evidence against him, though purely
ciicumsantal, was conclusive, and left
no reasonable doubt OF his guilt. He
was sentenced 10 the penit, nliary for
life. This case is Il peculiar one. and
illustrates the ticndish disposition which
sometimes actuaies individuals. A con-
tractor on the road owed Brooks two or
three dollars which he could not obtain.
On tie occasion Of opening the road,
when some Two or three hundred per
sons, from all parts Of the country, had
assembled to celebrate the event. this
wretch placed distractions upon the
road, which, but for u timely discovery,
would have killed number oil persons
Who never did him any injury in the
world, and against whom he could possi-
bly, have no grudge. Subsequently he
placed other distractions upon the road,
by which one PERSON was killed. 1t was
Tor this he was convicted, and very
properly sentenced 10 imprisonment for
life, Il sentence which should be rigidIy
enforced against such II diabOlica! vii.
