On certain Monday morning she had more
than usual strength, but said she felt she could
not live until the following day +; that she knew
she would die between the hours of eleven and
twelve oclock. Her mother, who was much
attached to her, and her only relative, endeav-
ored TO comfort her as she had done from the
beginning, and by assuring her that she would
soon recover from her peculiar malady. Mary
shook her head, and said her opinion was
firm conviction, and that she should even see
herself dying at midnight.
The day passed, and the night came on.
Mary was in much better spirits and stronger
than usual until eleven o'clock, when she re-
marked to her mother, watching by her side
81 am sinking; | feel it here" placing her
hand upon her heart; "but | am quite happy
at the thought, for you know l have suffered
terribly. 1t will soon be overland | do not
think shall have much more pain" She re-
NAMED quiet, talking with her parent in an
nndertone while the minutes passed, and the
hand ofthe clock, opposite the bed, had nearly
reached the figure of twelve.
There" said her mother, hopefully, point
ing to the dial, "look there, the hour has pass
ed-you will not die"
Yes mother SHALL" was the low toned
reply, 'and you will see it."
AT the third stroke of twelve, Mary shud-
dered she lifted her head little, but it sank
back tremor ran through her frame; pal
lor flashed with an unearthly whiteness over
her neck and face; her features grew rigid
she was dead.
Mary was about nineteen, and formerly lived
in Louisiana with her mother, at that time
slave on the sugar plantation of wealthy
gentleman near Baton Rouge. She was very
good looking, and had been carefully educated
by her master, who was generally believed,
and with truth, no doubt, to be her father. He
had liberated her mother about five years before
the girls death, who after residing in Massa-
chusetts some time, removed here in the au-
tumn of 1857
Several physicians were desirous of holding
a apost.n.o'tem upon the body, but the mother of
the girl absolutely and persistently refused to
allow such an examination, and therefore the
comprehension of peculiar disease, which
might have been of much benefit to the med-
cal profession, must continue for many years,
If not forever, an impenetrable secret.

INSURANCE AGAINST RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
The custom has long prevailed in England of
railway companies insuring the lives of their
travellers. Purchasers of tickets for small
addition to the regular fare receive policy for
certain time, or for single trip by which
the company becomes Immediately responsible
for losses of life or limb The design of this
species of life assurance springs from a eau
tious and thoughtful regard for families who
are often left in destitution on account of these
unforeseen fatalities Its stated that efforts have
recently been made to form company on the
same general plan in this country, to be called
the Railway and Steamer Accident Assurance
Company" with capital stock of $3.50 900,
with rates of premium calculated upon the
latest averages of disaster and death upon
public conveyances. In cases of loss of life,
the money would go to the bereaved family,
and in cases of temporary injury the sufferer
would have the benefit of an assured amount
Of damages.

Our correspondent says, "The county of
Woodford is small, and the town of Worth has
more timber land in it than any other town in
the county, so that think the average is not
too great-rather too low, if anything"
Whether these figures approximate correct
