an approaching DEATH" said lady to
the writer yesterday, "but we have had
mysterious warning OF such given us
time and time again by an old clock,
which has been in our family for the
last 100 years. The works were ruined
by shot fired by British soldier dur
ing the Revolutionary war at my great
grandfather, which shot, passing entire

her last breath, and my father. at last
believing that there was something
supernatural in the affair, had the old

case, but few years after, when my
brother was brought home dangerously
wounded after the battle OF Chan

of the old clock were heard as before,
