! SINGULAR PREsENTIMENT OF DEATH
A most singular presentiment of death oc.
cured few days ago in the family Of
Mr.. George Fisher, in Reislerstown, Bal
tImore county. His little son Fillmore
aged about four years, awoke IN the night
and called TO his mother TO know if she
was awake, and afterwards told his mo.
ther he was going TO die. He told his
father the same thing, and when told he
was dreaming, replied that he was awake
and knew he was going to die. The
parents thought nathing more about it,
and the child slept comfortable till morn
ing. When he awoke in the morning he
repeated his presentiment to his parents;
and as soon as breakfast was over insisted
on being allowed TO go and tell Mrs. Wal
ters, neighbor. that he was going to die
His mother told him that he had better sc
and see his grandmother if he was going
to die. He made visit to his grandmoth
Ell, aad also to Mrs. Walters, after which
he returned to his home. During the af
lernoon Of the same day his mother Wa:
called out of the house for few minutes
and when she returned she found the lit
tie fellow awfuliy burned by his clothing
having taken fire. As soon as the fire
was extinguished he said to his mother

juries, telling him he would soon be well
"No; Fillmore is going to dIe;" and du
ring the night the little boy breathed his
last. This was the most extraordinary
Epresenliment, aud during the whole day
he spoke of dying though he had enjoyed
fexcellent health, The boy is said to have
been a sprighhy and interesting child
and was beloved by all who knew him
TO MAKE EGGS PLENTY.--The atten
ton of farmers and others in the poultry
trade. is called to the following mode o
making eggs plenty during the winter sea
son, which we clip from an exchange.
Keep no roosters--give the hens fresi
meat, chopped up like sausage meat, once
dav-a very small portion, say half al
ounce day 10 each hen--ln winter, ol
from the time insects disappear in the fall
It'll they appear again in the spring. New
er allow any eggs TO remain in the mes
for what are called nest eggs. When tht
roosters do not run with the hens and nc
nest eggs are left IN Inc nest, the hens viii
not cease laying after the production of Il
or Is eggs, as they always do when zoos
ters and nest eggs are allowed, bnt contin'
ue laying perpetually. If the above plar
was generally adopted, eggs would be az
plentiful in winter as in summer, One
reason why hens do not lay as freely II
winter as in summer, is the want of ami
NAL food, which they get in summer IL
abundance, in the form of insects.
