a few days ago that the northwest

enough TO condemn the rurnor in the

wnrned In a Dream.

An instance in which dream was
useful In preventing an impending ca
iastrophe is recorded Of daughter OF
Mrs. Rutherford, at Ederton, the grand
daughter of Sir Walter Scott. This la
DIV dreamed more than once that her
mother had been murdered by black
servant. She was so much upset by
this that she returned home, and, to
her great establishment and not little
to her dismay, she met on entering the
house the very black servant she had
met in her dream. He had been en-
gagged in her absence. She prevailed
upon a gentleman to watch in an ad-
Joining room during the following
night.
About 3 o'clock In the morning the
gentleman heard footsteps on the
stairs, came out and met the servant
carrying a quantity OF Goals, Being
questioned as to where he was going,
he answered confusedly that he was
going to mend the mistress fire, which
at 3 o'clock in the morning in the mid
die of summer was evidently impossi-
bic. On further investigation a strong
knife was found hidden in the Goals.
The lady escaped, but the man was
subsequently hanged for murder. and
before his execution he confessed that
he intended to have assassinated Mrs.
Rutherford.

Halifax.

The evil repute Of Halifax implied IN
the adage "Go to Halifax" came to IL
by inheritance from Halifax in YORK
shire, England. Halifax law, as may
be gathered from a letter OF Loro
Leicester quoted by Motley, was that
criminals should be condemned nrst
and inquired upon afterward."
Halifax lay within the forest OF
Hardwick, where the law was that IL a
felon was taken with 1871 pence worth
of stolen goods he should be tried by
four firth burgers from four of the pre-
cinct towns and If condemned by them
be hanged the next day. After TINS
proceeding had been carried out to the
letter the case might be sent to jury
Halifax is also credited with being
the home OF the guillotine, which the
regent, Earl Morton, introduced INFO
Scotland only to have his own head
chopped off with 1t.
