Remarkable FuinIIoisnt Of = aipsy
Prophecy.

There was developed, in the recent trial OF
Champ, in Lexington, for committing rape
on his sister in'law, Mrs. Champ, some Gu.
sious and remarkable facts. which partsEc
somewhat Of ihe supernatural
Il seems that n shor, time preceding the
commission Of tho crime, = s%lrolling Gipsy
had stopped at the residence Of Mrs. Champ,
and had told her fortune. The Gypsy warned
her Of imminent peril, and pointed out her
brother in.law as the one by whom she would
be mos, deeply injured The facts subse'
quently disclosed in the trial fully corrobor,
ated the Gypsy prophecy Mrs. Champ, also,
only u few hours before the occurrence, had
a most singular dream. She dreamed that
she was arrsyed in a most beautiful robe OF
spo,less white, that a man approached and
stabbed her, and that she distinctly saw the
blood trickling down and despoiling her dress.
She looked up, and saw 1t was her brotherin.
law, Champ, who had committed the unnatu.
rul deed. This dream was bot toe typical Of
the horrid criMo which Champ subsequently
perpetrated.
The counsel for the defense seem 70 have
relied on the circumstances above detailed to
prove the insanity Of Mrs Champ. The coun.
sci for the lady, however, eontended that they

& CHANCE To GuEss.-The
Worcester Transcript tells of a
jolly, plump female witness, who
on Wednesday was asked by
Gen. Devens, the counsel, what
time the cars passed her house
on a certain day. She replied
that she began knitting on that
day at 3 o'clock, and had knit
twice around the leg of a stock
ing before the train passed. Of
coarse the General next asked
how long il would take to knit
twice around. The Judge re-
marked that the time would de-
pend on the size of the stocking
leg. The lady naively replied
that the stocking was for herself,
and the Judge and counsel could
exercise their judgment, and
guess as to the time and size re-
quired. This answer brought
down the bench, bar, jury and
''citizens generally" who were
present.
