Illustration of Modern Intelligence

We have received, from private
source. an account Of some very Gu
rious incidents that were recently
made manifest in Marshall county.
It appears that ten years ago, veal
thy farmer named Simerd, chad a
presentiment" that he would die Oh
the Goth day of July. 1857. 30
strongly was he impressed with this
strange idea that he regarded his de-
cease, at the time mentioned, as a
matter of certainty. He selected a
spot for bis grave, bought an iron rail-
ing to surround it, and had fine
tombstone and an elegant coffin pre-
pared, and brought to his house. :
On Monday, the day indicated by
the epresentiment,' lie had a clergy
man and an undertaken at hand, and
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after
having partaken with bis friends, of a
hearty dinner, he went to bed for the
purpose Of yielding up the ghost
He tried bis best to die, but couldn't
and was at last obliged to confess that
he had been the slave of ridiculous
ballucination. It is said that scores
of people focked to bis house to see
him expire. We trust that both they
and Mr.. Simerds are now convinced
that .:Do man kDoweth when the last
summons shall come. Superstition
is as rife pow as it was two centuries
ago, but the people of this fast age
do not like to acknowledged.
