naonition Of Death--I'he Philadelphia Roa0dies.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 8, 1855.
In the Oily Council yesterday, an ordinance was
reported providing that hereafter the annual ap-
preparation of 5000, made by the city to the yari-
GUS military organizations of Baltimore, shall be
withheld in every case where all the officers or
two-thirds of the privates are persons Of foreign
BIRTH Under this rule, there are several military
companies here that win be excluded
It is said by those who profess to know, that the
appointments, or rather nominations, of Mayor
Kinks, will be submitted to the City Council early
in the coming week.
A remarkable instance of premontion Of death
occurred few days since in the case ola little
boy about four years of age, named Fillmore
Fisher, whose parents reside in Reisterstown, in
this county. The little fellow, after being put to
bed in his usual health awoke in the middle Of the
night, aroused his mother and father and gravely
told them he was going to die The parents only
considered the matter in the light of childish
freak I; and after some remonstrance, the boy re-
turned to his slumbers. In the morning he again
repeated his declarations that he was going to die,
and insisted upon going to some Of his relatives,
10 whom he also repeated that he was going TO
die. In the afternoon of the same day the mother
Of the little boy left him alone for few moments,
when by some accident his clothing caught FIRE,
and ere il could be eItinguished, the child was
burned in a dreadful manner. Medical aid was at
once procured, but Il was impossible to save his
life. Whilst the remedies were being applied the
little sufferer said to his parents 81 told you I
was going TO die" Little Fillmore must die"
From this he continued to get worse, and In few
hours his premonition was fulfilled, and he breath

Philadelphia last week. is still confined to his bed
from the effects Of the wound, though all danger
of any serious result is thought to be past. The
man who was charged with the commission Of the
assault together with several others of his com
panions, was, as viii be remembered, discharged
from custody, and permitted to return to Phlsdel-
phia, though some one attempted to infict summa-
ry punishment upon him, by shooting him in the
