a REMARKApLE PREsENTIMENr.-A most SIM
gular presentitnent happened to Mr.. John NorS
burn, in Asheville, N. G., last week. He is one
OF our prominent and much esteemed tobacco
nists, and had gone to Asheville to buy few
days on that market His wife was up and well
when he left and their infant FIVE weeks old, but
in Asheville feeling Of dread took hold of him;
he felt he should die if he staid there, or that
he would never get home again unless he left 40
at once, and although he received Cheering let
ters from his wife that she was well, and his in
tention Of spending week there, he was forced
from this inward horror to take the train for
home at once; and all tho way last Saturday,
his horror increased he feared destruction, as
sassination, everything, and landing at the depot
here Mt ten ut night, he walked rather than take
the omnibus, fearing some accident, W ith his
heart almost leaping to his throat. As he got
in sight of his house, the old Whit Tunstall
place, he saw lights burning in the parlor, and
| when he entered he found his darling wife q
corpse. She had died suddenly from heart dis
ease just one half hour before he arrived. He
is u man not given 10 presentiments, but thor
oughly cultivated English gentleman, and has q
large host Of friends in this city. Mrs. Nor
burn was buried this evening, Capt. Z. Nj. Acree
was one Of the pall-bcarers. If there be COM
fort i'll the true sympathies OF hosts Of friends
Mr.. Norburn and his children have it. His
heart has lost q mate so closely welded to it
that the shadows fell around him to betoken the
| thick darkness Of her taking away.
