4 Bargains a Bargain.

A farmer of the olden time in Washing
ton County, who had good many dollars
and was much attached to them, had also a
lively, freckle faced grandson, as agile as a
squirrel and as sharp as the old man himself.
The old gentleman's barn became infested
with rats, and he told the boy that he would
give him 80 cents apiece for all the rats he
would catch, alive, aud show to him. After
two or three days little Benjamin came to
old Benjamin and asked him to step out into
the barn. He did so, and was conducted to
a big disused molasses barrel that stood in
the middle of the barn floor and asked, to
look into it, And there on the bottom was
a wriggling mass of rats three or four deep,
struggling vainly TO get out of the barrel.
"My CORR" exclaimed the old gentleman.
"Where'd you get all these rats p Caught
'em here in the barn, gran'sir." "How
many be they?" Eighty. That's just $40,
gran'sr." Forty dollars Why, l amt
goin' to pay you all that money" "Aint
you? Didn't you agree to, gran'sir?' "Well,
yes but l had no idea when l did that
you'd catch such tarnation lot" "Oyer
it goes, them said the boy. Waiting to
give the gentleman a chance to retract,
which he failed to improve, he upset the
barrel and the rats poured out around the
old mans feet. With howl of terror he
climbed up on hay NOW, and the rats re-
sumed possession of the barn.

Condolences.

Prof Edward Payson Thwing, NJ. d. Phi.
D., for four years president of the Academy
of Anthropology, New York, reports the
four following: "The wife Of DR.. W., a
physician. near Boston, had dream or Wis
ion one night in which she distinctly saw
her aunt. This lady resided several hun
dred miles away in distant city. She ap-
peared to be walking in the street, descend
ing a hill toward railway track The
dreamer saw the movement of her aunt as
she approached the rails, and also that of a
passing train, by which she was killed. A
few days after a letter was received which
narrated the death of the lady at the very
place and under the very circumstances de-
scribed.
"This same person, at another time, woke
in the morning with the conviction that
certain neighbor was dead, and so remarked
to her husband, the physician. Neither of
them had had any personal acquaintance
with the individual. As they dressed and
looked out of the window the first object
seen was Grape on their neighbor's door.
The lady had just passed away.
"The night that President Lincoln was
murdered a neighbor of mine, writes a
physician, declared that the President was
killed and by an assassin. 1t was several
hours before the news reached the town.
"The wife of New York clergyman made
a similar statement just before the news ar
rived of the murder of President Garfield,
aud said that she saw him in a railway sta
ton surrounded by ladies and others"
