A REMARKABLE PRESENT
IMENT OF DEATH.

from the New York Evangelist.l
Among many other similar incid-
ents on record, we have one that is
narrated by DR.. Sprague in his
Annals Sketching the career of
the elder Buckminster-Dr. Joseph
Buclminster of Portsmouth, and
father of the eloquent Rev. j. s.
Buckmister of BOston-he states
that on June s. 1872, he was travel
ling in Vermont in company with
his waaie, and proceeded as far as
Reedsborough. Sinking under the
combined effects of disease and fa-
tigue, he retired to rest at solitary
inn, but his sleeplcss night was
spent m sey in prayser. In the
morning, when Mrs. Buckminster
arose, he sl6 to her, "A1y son Jo-
;seph is dead'' She, supposing him
to have been only dreaming, replied,
"No; he was well q few days since,
aud We shall see him when We re-
turn" "No,," said he, calmly and
decidedly, ''he is dead" A few
hours ltar DR.. Buckminster died,
and it subsequently appeared that
his words concerning his son were
true. He died within less than
twenty -four hours before his father

There has been living for the last
twenty N--iN wears, near Silver Lake ia
Wabash county. Indiana. q human mon
-trO,itt, which has scarcely parallel
la the catalogue of the freaks Of dame
nature. The man, for such he might be
callcd-was perfectly formed in nearly
every respect, except the head, which
was shaped almost exactly like that OF a
hog, being covered with short wirv hair
OF bristeS, resembling that animal, and
having nose, ears. eyes aud features, in
every respect like perfect hog. II
could not talk, but would utter a kind
OF >queal or grunt. Its nature was in
every respect like that of hog, with
the exception that it appeared to have a
slight knowledge of its father 1t eats
like human, having perfectly formed
hands it had the use of its limbs, and
could walk, until it was accidentally
burned few years ago, which deprived
il Of the use OF its limbs, since when it
has been unable to walk, and was kept
confined in a room bv itself, and fed by
the family. Its death occurred about
one wear ago, in Silver Lake, the funeral
sermon being preached by Rev Mr..
Patton, u United Brethren Minister.
This i certainly strange freak of
nature, and it is also strange how such
monstroeity could be so long in
neighborhood, and not be more gener-
ally known. 1t is strange also, how
such a combination of two distinct ami
mails could live for twenty-six years
