A Prophecy Fulfilled.
SINGULAR INDICATION OF DEATH FORE.
TOLD BY A GIRL.

During revival of religion in Feb.
ruary, 1887, while excitement was run
ming high and superstition aud fanati-
cism held full sway at Waverly, 0.
Lizzie Long, went irto an alleged
trance. Reyiving from her nervous
prostration she told her friends that on
that night one year hence she would die
in childbirth. No attention was paid to
the remark at the time. Mrs Long,
who was then single and not even en-
gagged to be married, within q few
weeks after the meetings closed mar.
ried Mr.. Long. On the Sth inst she
gave birth to child, and on the 18th
following, the same night she received
the premonton one year ago, died of
fever. Mrs. Long had been recover
ing, but on the 18th inst, although in
exuoerant spirits, she called her friends
about her bedside and reminded them
of her premonition year previous,
and said her time had come. In less

BRIAR CREEK CHURCH.

This church runs back to an unre.
corded date. We find frequent men,
tion of it in the old minutes of the
Presbytery, the first of which is in
April, 1879, when the Rev. Asa Dun
ham was appointed to supply this
church. 1t, therefore, may be'classed
among the oldest churches of thu
Presbytery. AT frequent stated meet
ings after this we find Mr., Dunham
appointed to supply this church. He
was received into the Presbytery OF
Huntingdon in April, 1898, from thr
Presbytery of New Brunswick as al
ordained minister. According to tn,
records of the Huntingdon Presbytery,
he was appointed by the General As
sembly TO labor with the Rev. John
Patterson in Northumberland and
Luzerne counties, and in 1899 he was
appointed to labor at Fishing Greek.
In Gibson's history Of that Presbytery
We find no mention of him except his
admission into the Presbytery and his
appointment to missionate for six
months in the east end of the Presby-
terry, which appointment he reported
himself unable to fulfil, at the time of
and after the formation of the Presby-
tery of Northumberland he took very
active part in the affairs of PresbyteTy
and the care of it's churches. He was
made the first Moderator of the new
Presbytery, and is found laboring
among its poor and weak churches AZ
missionary--espeoially 10 the Briar
Creek congregation and places in its
vicinity. From the few fragments Of
history that remain of him, he appears
10 have been in some respects a re.
markable man. When youth he was
a soldier in the war of the Revolution,
and fought in the ranks with his father
at the battle of Monmouth. He was
married five times, and had the misfor-
tune to lose his fourth wife, his mother
in-law and two brothers in-lsw by, or
as the result of, the burning OF his
house.

THE CHIEF OF THE COMMUNITY.

The government OF this little king
dom is still, as it always has been,
strictly patriarchal. Jacob Henrioi, an
active, able man despite his "a Winters
has filled Father Rupp's place, as head
of the community, for many years.
He is its prophet, priest and king. In
all matters his word is law. 1t is
enough for any one in Economy to
know that "Father Henrici says il" to
satisfy him or her on any subject what.
ever. lie is the absolute dictator of
the place and its people, but he is as
fatherly In his kindness as in his sever
ity. To outsiders the rules and regu-
latious to which every inhabitant of
Economy is compelled to rigidly con-
form may seem somewhat primitive
and exactiug, Every one is required
to attend church twice every Sunday
and hear two sermons from Father
Henrici. Anyone found out of bed
after 0 o'clock on any night is immedl-
ately banished from the town, aud all
are required to rise at that poetic aud
lyric hour, rs o'clock in the morning. "
In addition to three OF the squarest
possible square meals daily, free
luncheon is served to the whole oom-
munity at 9 o'clock every morning and
at every afternoon, and at each Of
those hours pint of wine is meted
out 20 every man, woman and child.

The total immigration for the e. Ieven months ending November 30, 1887, was 4SG,O0O, and the total for the year is not likely to run much above half million. But that is a great many people-an in- rush so vast as to make its regula- ton very difficult. It IS all well enough to introduce bills in Con- gress proposing to let in the good and keep out the bad; but what is to be the test, and how is it to be appealed?

Baldwin to forward the general interests of the county-to protect and promote its credit-to rid it of the burden i'm posed by the miserable heritage Of official incompetency and corrup- ton. We part with him with re- gret, and wish for him in his new home, the highest success, which, we believe, his attainments will cer- tainly enable him to secure.
 He Is succeeded officially by T. W.

The mystery that so long enve- loped the ruined cities in Arizona and the Gila valley, is about to be cleared up. The ruins of nineteen buried cities, one of them Las Muertas, city of the dead, have been discovered and traced in Salt Riv- CT valley, in Arizona, and recent excavations reveal number of human skeletons in attitudes which show they met a violent and sudden death. They are believed to have p ,rished in d great earth quake, which, centuries ago, shook that region, overthrowirg the cities 5urying vast numbers of the Toltec population in the ruins, and fore ing the balance to seek homes in southern Mexico.

The verdict of the Court Martial which tried the five Apache scouts at San Carlcs who were i'm plicated in the shooting of Al Sicb- CT, and the outbreak that followed the shooting, has at last been made public. The sentence of tie court martial in each case was impris- onment for life at hard labor. Gen.

 pie of the practical usefulness of Bacteriologv. The recent announce

 Now, Mr. Editor, 1 have a limit ed liability scheme to propose to
 you. Did you ever hear of the
 ''laughing plant"?* It is a native of Arabia. It's seeds, if dried and pulverizcd, and taken in small
 doses, will, like Darling'S best, make the severest person behave like a
 circus clown or a lunatic, for he will
 dance, sing, laugh, and cut the most fantastic capers, and be i'll the most
 uproariously ridiculous condition
 for about an hour. When the ex-
 citcment ceases, the exhausted ex- hibitor falls asleep, and on awak
 ing has not the slightest rcmem-
 brance of his frisky doingS. If We
 could introduce this very extraor-
 dinary plant, and practice littl,
 ''inoculation" with it, don't you think it would be compared with the chicken cholera racket, almost a mercilul institution. Then just
 fancy-just try to imagine, the spec tdcle of certain individuals among us thus affected. At any rate it would tend to rouse some of our
