reminds us of an anecdote of Johnny
Jackson, told by Mr.. George w. Brown,
illustrative of how coming events cast
their shadows before: Jackson was feed
ing for Brown, and was very boisterous,
abusing the animals, and shooting an old
pistol. After demonstrating with him
for some time, in vain, a member of Mr..
Browns family expressed to him the sol
emn conviction that, judging by his con-
duct. he "would be in the Penitentiary
before he died" The prophecy only
proved partially correct. He didn't go to
the Penitentiary-bu he was hung. 49,.
