question remains, was it a warning of evil
then existing, or was it a presentiment Of
evil that was still to arisel In other words
was it in character only clairvoyant, or was
it in its nature clearly propheticl
The impression was distinctly produced
on Mrs. Linn's mind, as that lady told me,
at least half an hour before it became so
urgent as TO compel her to leave the enter
tainment. When she did leave, as the car
riages were not ordered till eleven o'clock,
and no hackney coach was at hand, she
and Mr.. and Mrs. Wright, as she further
stated to me, returned on foot. The dis
tanco being mile and half they were
fully half an hour in walking it. 1t fol-
lows that Mrs. Linn was impressed to return
more than an hour before she opened the
door of the bedroom.
Now, it is highly improbable that the
fire should have caught, or that anything
should have happened likely to lead to it,
in the bedroom, as much as an hour, or
even half an hour, before Mrs. Linn's arri-
val. But if not, if at the moment Mrs.
Linn was first impressed, no condition of
things existed, which to human perceptions,
could indicate danger, then, unless we refer
the whole to chance coincidence, the case
is one involving not only warning presen-
timent, but prophetic instinct.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1860-02-24

Monongahela, for which an old settler would
almost be willing to be hung if he could
now obtain the like. The glass was given
to Omic and he drank the whiskey in as
little time as he could have turned it out of
the glass. Mr.. Garter again came down,
and the Sheriff again drew down the cap
and the same scene was again reenacted,
Omic expressing the same terror. Mr.. Car
ter again assembled to the platform, and Omic
gave the honor of an Indian in pledge that
that he would not longer resist the sentence
of the Court, if he should have another half
pint of whiskey. Mr. Carter, representing
the people of Ohio and the dignity of the
laws, thought the terms were reasonable,
and the whiskey was forthcoming on short
order. The tumbler was not given Omic,
but it was held to his mouth, and as he
sucked the whiskey out Sheriff Baldwin
drew the rope that pinioned his arms more
tight, and the rope was drawn down to
prevent the prisoner from going to the post,
and from preventing him frorh pulling off
his cap. The platform was Immediately
cleared of all but Omic, who run the ends
of his fingers on the right band between the
rope and his neck. The rope that held up
one end of the platform was cut, and the
body was swung in straight line towards
the lake as far as the rope permitted and
returned, and after swinging forth and
backward several times, and the weight be-
ing about to be suspended perpendicular
under the centre of the top of the gallows,
the body turned in acrcle and finally rested
still.
At that time a terrific storm appeared
and came up from the north northwest with
great rapidty, to avoid which, and it being
doubtful whether the neck was broken, and
to accomplish so necessary part of hang
ing, the rope was drawn down with the de-
sign ofraising the body, so that, by sudden
relaxing of the rope, the body would fall
several feet and thereby dislocatc the neck
beyond any doubt but when the body fell,
the rope broke as readily as tow string and
it fell upon the ground. The coffin and
grave were near the galIows and the body
was picked up, put into the coffin, and the
coffin Immediately put into the grave. The
storm was heavy and all scampered but
Omic.
The report was at the time, that the sur
geons at dusk raised the body, and when
it lay on the dissccting table it was easier
to restore life than to cut it up.
Yours, ELISHA WHITTLESEY.

A Small mistake.

The Milwaukee Sentinel informs us that
the powers at Washington, having deter
mined on the removal of General Potter,
Postmaster at Watertown, Wisconsin, from
office, commissioned the Milwaukee Post
master, to go to Watertown, look over the
ground, and advise what successor would
best subserve the wants of the Buchanan
party. Faithful to his trust, the Milwaukee
man repaired to the scene of his responsible
duties. After weighing all interests care
fully in the balance, he decided that Mr..
Peter Rogan, former Buchanan member
of the Wisconsin Legislature was the prop
er man. But he forgot to make written
memoranda of tho name, which, no doubt,
he considered of little importance at the
time, as Mr. Peter Rogan was an old ac-
quaintance of his, they having served in
the legislature together. But on this mel
ancholy omission hinged the disastrous re-
result. There is in Watertown another
prominent gentleman by the name of Re-
gan-Mr. Patrick Regan-but of opposite
political tendencies; he having voted it j,
said, for one Fremont, instead of Mr.. Blu
chanan, at the late Presidential election
Between these two similar names of Pete
and Patrick, the Milwaukee agent of the
government, not uunaturally, perhaps, be.
came confused, and while Iaboring under a
delusion, despatched the name of Mr.. Pat
rick Regan to Washington; and before the
mistake was discovered, the nomination
was sent into the Senate by Mr.. Buchanan,
and it is alleged-a little mischievously, we
think-confirmed. At any rate, the Blu.
chanan wire-workers at Milwaukee and
Watertown were in good deal of conster.
nation at the last advices, and waiting for
the smoke to clear away, so that they
might ascertain who was who-M Y. Post.
