mr.. Fortescue,s Pr.monitIon

Max Adeler relates this:
1.-THE most painful instance of a man
having a premonition of death that l
know of. was that of Mr.. Fortescue who
lived in our village. He came home one
afternoon with pallid face and told his
wife that he was deeply impressed with
the conviction that he would die within
forty eight hours. Then. while she was
bathed in tears, he sat down and had q
long talk with her, giving directions
about bis affairs, advising her about
managing the dear children when he
was gone, and telling her how tenderly
he. loved her and how hard it was for
him to part from her After a few pas
sionate expressions Of affection and re-
greet, Mr. Fortescue sent for a lawyer and
made bis will. Then he went around
and babe goodbye to his friends and
sought minister, from whom he obtain
ed religious consolation, and from
whom be parted weeping. Proceeding
to the tailors he purchased a burial
suit, and then, after making all the ar
rangements with the undertaken for the
funeral, he bought a handsome satin
lined rosewood coffin and wrote out a
list OF the men whom be wanted to act
as pail bearers. The tombstone selected
by him at the marble yard bore a repre-
sentation Of a flower with broken stem
and the legend, Not lost, but gone be-
fore" and in his interview with the
grave digger at the cemetery he selected
a spot near where his mother was laid
under the green trees, for a tomb, at the
same time giving directions that violets
should be planted above him in the early
spring. 1t was very melancholy and
full os deepest pathos. This was in 1874,
and he is still alive and hearty, having
since been twice in the State Legisla-
ture. once in Jail for assault and battery
upon his wife, and having been turned
out Of temperance society for drinking
too much bewildering rum. He resides
in PeHcsder, where be keeps a billiard
saloon, asd be attributes that warni7gtC

We call attention to the number OF
we'll dressed Migrants about the city
who are evidently pipe layers for a set
of burglars and thieves that are to oper-
ate here this winter. A gentlemanly
looking fellow, with side whiskers, has
been looking for work as wood sawyer
in the suburbs, and in that way obtains
access to the back premises of houses
But we have not heard of him doing any
work. A set goes around demanding
nav for 1.-THE paper, but take care to
call when only the servants are
at home. This gives them an OPP
portunity to note the situation OF
the premises aud make a map for the
use of the real thieves. Collectors for
newspapers can always show their au-
thority and are apt to call at reasonable
hours. People should look we'll to the
iastenirgs of their doors and windows
and keep their powder dry. We have
good reason to believe that a gang OF
thieves will invade the city this winter
and suggest that the police should keep
an eve on all suspicious characters
The hard times in the larger cities will
drive horde Of worthless adventures
down this way as soon as cool weather
sets IN. The advance guard is here now

will be sold, and that the drawing will be a

drawing will, nevertheless, certainly come of
on the day appointed.
Tho special object of this card is to call q
meeting Of the ticket-holders at Public Lii
brary Hall. on the 10Th Of November, TO make
arrangements in connection with the commit
tee appointed BY the Trustees to superintend
the counting of the tags representing the num-
Der Of tickets sold. While there is no actual
necessity for the presence Of ticket-holders,
as under our arrangements the interests Of all
are equally cared for. yet at the same time
would greatly prefer that as many CT those
interested as can, would attend this meeting
and see each for himself how perfectly fair
and impartial the distribution must be.
Every arrangement has been made for the
drawipg-but little more than a month re-
mains for the sale Of the remainder OF the
tickets. and whatever is done must be done
