—Arnold superstition exists that when a farmer accidentally misses planting a row of corn, wheat, or other grain in a field, a member of his family will bo called to the grave within twelve months. A case of this sort was related to a correspondent at Scottsburg, recently, which may prove to the superstitious the truthfulness of the old saying. Last fall, writes the scribe, a farmer living in the northwestern part of this county, named Tunis House, discovered that in sowing his wheat he had missed two rows. Immediately he predicted that ho and his eldest daughter, a young l«dy, would bo called away, according to the superstition. His predictions proved correct, for on the 21st of last March the daughter died, and on the 26th of tho following month Mr. House passed silently to the other shore.
