predictlons for ls7O.

A friend yesterday happening to pick up
an almanac for the current year, his at
tention was attracted by the following
predictions for 1870. In an Introductory
paragraph the almanac maker attributes
them to the occult science Of astrology
and says:
Without uscribing to our "Seer" any un'
due confidence, We are yet led to acknowl'
edge that his predictions Of last year were
remarkably fulfilled. He really ioretold
important events, and revealed, before
hand, some most significant truths. This
has led US to accord the same authority n
space for the following:
The almanac was printed, we presume,
in the latter part of 1859. Those who
like to believe in this kind Of prognostica'
ton, will find several striking condolences
to strengthen their faith.
