l VERY SINGULAR OCCURRANCE.

The Lexington (Va.) Gazette pub
fishes the following, asserting that it
has received the facts UPON undoubted
evidence
Mr.. q. j. White, whose death oc-
Cured last week, was stricken on re-
turn from our last Court to his home in
Bronsburg, with the disease that proved
fatal. On the day of his return, be had
occasion to go to room where was kept
clock belonging to his father, the
late Robert White. This clock is of the
old-fashioned high kind, and has been
stopped for years, not even having the
weighs attached, being merely kept as
family relic. When Mr.. White en-
tered the room the clock, which hid
been silent SO long, distinctly struck
lone p He at the time paid no spec
ial attention to it, he not being
of supesstitious tu1n of mind, thought
it was a mistake or an illusion of lis
fancy. The next day or the day after
he again had occasion to enter the same
room. Again the clock struck ''on e. "
He Immediately went out, telling hi
wife Of the circumstances, and re-
parked that he felt assured he was 90
ing to die soon. His premonitions, as
We have stated, proved true, and in a
few days his spirit passed away.

RAISING OSTRlCAEs.

Considerable attention has Of late
years been bestowed upon s"ostrich-farm-
ing" On these so-called farms nun.
bers Of ostriches are kept solely for the
growth of feathers for commercial pur-
poses; the enclosures in which the birds
are confined vary in size from fifteen
to twenty acres, encircled by low stone
walls, over which the ostriches never
attempt to leap. A novel plain has
been adopted near Gramastown for
Matching the eggs of these valuable
birds artificially, by means of an incu-
bator; the eggs are kept up to temper
ature of from 100 to los degrees of
Fahrenheil's thermometer. by the aid
Of an oil lamp, at cost of trifle more
than penny for the twenty-four
hours the natural period Of incubation
in struthlous birds (ostriches) is about
forty-niue days. Ostrich feathers are
io constant demand, being employed
for great many purposes, aud> their
value, commercially, varies consider
ably in accordance with color and
quality; the long white feathers which
are plucked from the wings are esteem
ed the finest, and are worth on the av-
erage from $3.50 to 5000 per lb., which
usually comprises about eighty fcath-
ers. These finer white feathers are
mostly used by the court plume max.
ers the process, of cleaning consists in
careful washing with soap and clean
water, soft brush being at the same
time employed judiciously; after the
securing. the feathers are we'll rinscd
aud shaken out to dry. Next in value
follow the long black and grey feathers
and, lastly, the small ones, which fetch
only about forty shillings pound.
Feathers obtained from tho wild
birds are reckoned to be more valuable
than those plucked from the farmed
birds. The mode Of hunting ostriches
by the regular hunters has been thus de-
scribed: The finest adult mail bird is
singled out Of the flock of perhaps six OF
eight, at the season when the feathers
are 10 the finest condition; that is,
when the quilts have not arrived at
their full hardness Of development; the
plume Of the feathers is then beautiful
ly delicate and soft; these feathers
are then called blood feathers, and are
considered of the greatest value. The
hunter then follows it at sharp trot,
so as not thoroughly to alarm the bird
but follow it up perhaps ten miles or
more at tho same rate of speed, and
then stops and gets OF his saddle, letting
biz horse feed and rest little for about
twenty minutes !; the ostrich also stops.
The hunter then mounts again, and
follows up the bird at a fast gallop.
The ostrich is now, however, stiff and
tired after his previous exertion, and
does not 60 along SO fast, so that his
pursuer soon runs him down and
knocks him on head with "sjambok,, >,
Ga thick thong Of hippopotamus or rhi.
noceros hide,) and kills him at once.
Ar ostrich in good plumage is worth
about $50, and each bird has from 23=
to o., of the finest white feathers.
Some hunters will get from SO to 80
birds in season.-Land and Water.
