NORFOLK, August 1S.- Very Singular Occur
astonishing Prese,at atimenk-A most singu-
lar and wonderful circumstance occurred here on
Saturday last, which, were it not for the fact
actually having occurred, would seem too in
credible for belief 1t seems that German
named GherkiD, a professor of music, went
early in the forenoon of Saturday to an under
taker and ordered his coffin, requesting that it
be made immediately, alleging that he was
| going to die that same evening, and that he
should positively want it. The man was appa-
rently in good health, and seemed perfectly
sane in mind. The undertaken, as a matter Of
course, supposed the man either .jesting or de-
ranged, and consequently paid no attention to
what he said. The man soon left the establish
ment and went home, and in short time after
wards took his bed. He became apparently i'll,
and early the same evening was a corpse. There
was no evidence Of his having taken any poison
Gus drug. The matter is wholly unaccounta-
Bile, and has produced much surprise. How or
why he should have had n .foreshadowing of his
end is mystery, known only to the Great Ar
bitter Of Events

NOVELTY IN ARcmTECTURE. The Tribune ex-
amined, on Saturday, new mode of building
houses introduced into New York by o. 8,
Fowler, the phrenologist, who is fitting up
splendid mansion in his new style. The walls
are composed of slate, gravel and lime, mixed
together and laid in boxes, which are raised up
as the walls they form become firm enough to
receive another layer. In this way, Mr. Fow-
Ter has raised walls four stories high, on a
much less cost than by any other plan. His
design is Of octagon shape, eighty feet in diam
eter, with water-waste and gas-pipes inserted
into the walls. There is to be a large reservoir
on the roof to receive rain-water for bathing
and other purposes. There is a large ice-house
on the north side, also connected with the wall,
which is as firm as the rock ON which it stands.
All the rooms are angular, presenting unique
but pleasing appearance. al sha III,

sea-Bathing at Newport.

The beach every day Sundays, very proper
ly, excepted at eleven o'clock presents o most
animated scene :--"black spirits and white,
blue spirits and gray" mingle in Oceans waves,
| in the most admired and enchanting confusion.
The metamorphosis effected by the "bathing
dress" is marvellous indeed, and man may
easily be excused for gazing with unrecognising
yacuity at the g wife of his BOSOM" and deny
ing his mother to her face. ,,.y .sst..s 1900.
The sea-scene is amusing enough. At each
moment the doors Of the +" houses" (Goffs, Jew,
Crosby's, or Oman's) are opening, and out
steps some "potent, grave, and reverend seig-
nor" who went in full of dignity and majestic
port, and emerges, to all appearance a candi-
date for Bedlam. But now comes the fun ! We
are in the waves here comes the breakers!
How becomingly alarmed are the ladies! How
the pretty things futter. "Dear me! what
shall | do? Here comes that horrid breaker?,'
The breaker comes dashing along, and steals a
kiss, which throws the fair Araminta Matilda
| Hyacintha Jenkins on her back; "sput-splew-
! spuoh oh dear Mr.. Harlequin, lift me up, or I
shall be full of salt water!" q u'l'l .D5.U4
| VI Scene I'd. Mr.. Spriggins has been charmed
the previous evening at the Atlantic House with
Miss Cherubina Spratt. He determines to get
| better acquainted, and if he thinks there is any
chance, he may propose. He goes to the beach,
full of delightful anticipations of a tete-a- tete
with his charmer. He hurries onh his /" Lean
der" and rushes into the sea- awaits with i'm
patience the egress of Miss Cherubina from her
bath house. Alasi she is there before him, but
he knows her not After grasping two or three
ladies by mistake, and running the risk of q
quarrel with their indignant husbands and
brothers, he gives up in despair, when, FORUM
ately, he meets with " Tompkins'' just emerging
from breaker. 'sTompkins, tell me, have you
seen Miss spratt % " Miss Spratt, Why Yes,
there she is to your right; close to you" tsDo
you tell me that is Miss Spratt, that fright in
an oil-skin cap and yellow pants 2" To be
sure it is; she was asking me why you were SO
long in coming and said she wished you would
hurry; for, said she, pointing to you little
thinking who it was L am afraid of that vul-
gar-looking wretch in a red shirt he has taken
hold of two of the ladies already, in very rude
manner; and l do wish Mr.. Spriggins would
come" Spriggins: I" She said was vulgar
looking wretch did she? Very wen, she's no
great beauty no,c, anyhow, and she may live
Miss Spratt' for what | care, to the end of
her days. ."-Cor. Phil. Inquirer.
