Il True Prediction.

A certain postmaster at Barnet having
some controversy with a neighbor, who was
rather cOppery and believed the war might
continue for years, answered thus: 1.-The
war will be over and the rebellion crushed
in three months from to-day, the 14th day
of January, 1865" The postmaster at the
same time made his figures as above under
a looking-glass in the Office, where they can
be seen at this day. l do not give this to
the public thinking the postmaster prophet
ically inspired, but, as Yankee, will ac-
cept it as shrewd guess.

An Unfortunate Affray.

On Thursday last, Mesars. J. NJ. RILEY, ALoszo
HARRIS and SIN. ZIMMERMAN, of the Supporting
Force of this District, were ordered to arrest and
bring to this place, conscript BY the name of
BERRY HORNE, who it appears had been eYading
military service for long while. On attempting
to arrest HORNE, he made fight, wO understand,
with wedding hoe, and whilst HORNE was in tho
act of striking Mr.. RILEY, the latter discharged
both barrels of his gun into the body of the
former, killing him instantly. From all the in-
formation wo can obtain in the premises it was
clearly case of justifable homicide, ard is SO
regarded by all good citizens acquainted with the
circumstances.
