This was strik- ing enough, but there was more to| come; for afterward he said to Sos wife: You know I hurried around be- cause had dream that s. had been hanged" That's most extraordina- ry," was the reply, because the doctor said he had very nearly dislocated his neck in exactly the same manner that occurs when people are hanged D
 can tell you an incident that can absolutely vouch for. A gentleman I knew was very fond of gambling, and had caused considerable anxiety to his wife on that account. It was his habit to sit up at night at his own house with gentlemen friends, to whom he sometimes lost at cards. His wife had been for some time in a delicate eondi- tion, and she gradually grew worse, and died while she was still very young. But when she lay on her death- bed she talked very seriously to her husband about his gambling propensi- ty, and ultimately obtained from him a promise that he would never touch cards again.
 For some time he resolutely kept his word; but one winters night, about twelve months after her death, having
 a party of gentlemen at his house, for getful of his promise to his dead wife. he proposed to them to spend the night in the same old way, For some time they went on, winning and losing and getting more excited. Suddenly, about one o'clock, the door of the room mys- teriously opened and there-still, sta turesque with look of silent reproaeh on her pale face-stood the woman to whom the promise had been given and broken.

He told her that it would be difficult to find the body, and if the culprits were brought to justice her children would be left orphans; so, after consideration, the sister gave the matter up.
 But her brothers spirit would not rest, and appeared in a dream in the above manner to friend of his. Soon the news spread to the local authori- ties, who took the matter up. The riv- CT was searched, and the body was found in the exact spot indicated.
 The discovery had such an effect on the murderers that they at once con- fessed. They gave all details of the crime-how. after service, they took him to mill where they all dined, | and on leaving for home they attacked their victim.
