a Rat Ont of Place.

AS an evidence that the qualities of
nerve and downright pluck are not
confined exclusively to the heroic men
OF creation there is herewith offered
the narration of the circumstances
wherein a. young girl bore herself
bravely under such trying circumstances
as would have severely tested the most
doggel determination ever shown by
the average genus homo. On Sunday
last this young lady was to church,
when, during the delivery OF the SER
mon, she suddenly became aware that
something of crawling nature was
making an expeditions journey up her
leg. Startled, as may we'll be believed,
she was for the once bereft of power of
action, but with a determined effort she
recovered her presence of mind, and by
the time the " thing" got short dis
lance above her knee she grabbed it,
through her dress, with a vice like
grip, and held on like grim death
Since the first revelation of the circum,
stance she had not uttered a sound. nor
indeed, gave any outward sign of the
mental torture which she must have
suffered, but sat rigid and composed.
firmly grasping "that horrible thing. y
which she knew was some living crea-
ture, when, upon being clutched it
gave forth squeallng sound. For full
three quarters of an hour the brave
glrl sat there, as composed as ever.
still retaining her hold to the close of
the service, when she departed home
wards, never relaxing her grip until
reaching home, when, giving hurried
explanations to her mother, she tainted
dead away. A quick examination by
la mere revealed the presence of rat,
dead as door nail, as the cause of the
unhappy adventure, which for lively
interest, and the revealing of remark
able spirit III the mind of a young girl,
IS not often matched in this latter day.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1873-08-16
Supernatural Visitation.

A remarkable event, of the sort that
tends to encourage belief in the SUI
pernatural, recently took place III Co
lumbus, O. A lady IN that place was
awakened from her sleep by a mystic
rious voice exclaiming, "Your brother
William is dead" At this spectral
warning she screamed and swooned,
and would not be comforted, and
passed the rest of the night in tears,
despite the consolatory sccpticism of
her attendants. And the curious part
of the story is that the very next day
she received letter from this very
indentica1 brother in a neighboring
city announcing that he was quite well
and in possession of a profitable con-
tract with the town authorities. An
other story is of a Tennessee man who
dreamed that two certain numbers
would draw each $4,000 in the public
library drawing, and so impressed was
he by the vision that he came all the
way to Louisville to find the tickets.
which he succeeded in doing, after
days search. And he says now that If
he had even gotten his twenty dollars
back he would have been better salts
fed than he is.
