Singular Presentiments "A young man

and Bulletin, enteled theseryic lately. and
repaired promptly to the front Ho had
prssentiment that he would be killed in the
first engagement, and accordingly when
he got to Atlanta be had him coffin made
with instructions as to his burial, &C.
Sure enough in fow days he was killed in
skirmish, and his body was placed in tho
coffin he had previously prepared for its
interment This is remarkable instance
Of that wondcfful foroboding which we call
