The only case on Tecord of banishment for life from this Sütels that of George J. Williams, whose imprisonment -as a I' ni ted Mates convict baa but recently occurred. Williams, who is a well educated and handsome fellow, came into this State a few years ago, went to Nicholas County, where he became engaged in the United States pension and insurance business. lie succeeded ia :- working up many thousands of dollars for disabled soldiers and widows of dead soldiers in Nicholas and adjoining counties. Through some wsy he succeeded in getting pension drafts cashed, and in a f-hort time had pocketed large sums of money belonging to his clients. He was finally caught in nefarious transactions, and indicted by a United Mates Grand Jury in this city. Ilia trial, about two years ago. resulted in .his beifig sent to the penitentiary for one year. Three other charges of the same nature were placed against him, but he was not tried, as it vms deemed best by the Jndge to wait till he had served.hia year, in order to have htm here as witness against persons mixed up with him in pension frauds. Williams was brought back here before his time in the penitentiary expired, and used as a witness. lie then confessed on three charges of mail robbery and pension frauds, and being in bad health, and almost dead, Judge Jackson, of the United States District -4kurt for this Htate. tempered his sentence with mercy, and gare Williams three months in jail on confession. Judge Jackson, in his sentence, embodied an order banishing Williams forever from the fitate of West Virginia, to tak3 effect sixty days after the expiration of his three months' imprisonment. Williams' imprisonment was up to Thursday last, and he now has Jess than two months to fix up business and leave Jtt State forever, .

THE SEASONS.

When that the jocund spring is here, And violets blue 'neath hedges peer; When cowslip bold and oxlip pale Adorn the dell aud star the dale, v . ' Methinks-that 'tis the time of year 'Which most of all becomes my dear. When summer, with her glorious train (f sultry hours, reigns once again: . When heavy hangs each rose's head With languor of much sweetness bred, Methiuks that 'tis the time of year Which most of ail becomes my dear. When autumn steals o'er weald or wold, Itespaugiiug many a copse with gold; When violets open their eyes anew. And sleeping meads are white with dew, Methinks that 'tis the time of year Which moat of all becomes my dear. When winter, softly passing by, With snowy plumes veils earth and sky; When soowdrows in God's acre prove That death is not the end of love. Methinks that 'tis the time of year Which mofet of all becomes my dear. St. James Gazette. SOCIAL GOSSIP. Swinburne, in his recently published biography of Victor Hugo, refers to him . as "the spiritual sovereign of the Nineteenth century." Burdett says: "I hold it to be a solemn, self-evident, heaven-born truth, that a man who would play chess for amusement would saw a cord of wood for a joke." I wonder if there may not be Somewhere in God's eteraity, A workday season long and bright. For souls belated whom the night Surprises ere their tasks are done Who grieve o'er golden threads unspua Because of weariuess and set of sun? Anon. Among the most important works now in the press of Harper A Brothers is a historical work od the Indians, entitled "The Masacrts of the Mountains." The author is Mr. J. F. Dunn, Jr., of Indianapolis, who has given a large amount of time and labor to the study of the subject. The book will be profusely illustrated. Spurgeon asked a young girl, who served as domestic in one of his families, when she presented herself for membership in his church, what evidence she could give of having become a Christian, and she meekly answered. "I now sweep under the mats." And the renowned preacher said that it was good evidence, and we agree with him. Real religion leads one to do work thoroughly. The best antidote against evils of all kinds, against the evil thoughts that haunt the soul, against the needless perplexities which distract the conscience, is to keep hold of the good we have. Impure thoughts will not stand against pure words and prayers and deeds. Little doubts will not avail against great certainties. Fix your affections on thiDgs above, and then you will less and less be troubled by the cares, the temptations, the (roubles of things on earth. Dean StanleyThe evening dress of the future was introduced at a recent Washington ball by Senor Mesia, nephew of the Spanish Minister and an ataache of his legation. Senor Mesia wore the conventional black swallow-tail coat and waistcoat, with knee breeches, fastened with silver buckles. The women admired and the men were envious, and Senor Mesia danced through the evening with his choice of partners and the consciousness of having done the right thing in showing other men how much more becoming and appropriate was his garb for the occasion than theirs. "When the effort was first made to organize societies to prevent cruelty to dumb brutes, it was ridiculed by the press and antagonized by the courts. Just when Mr. Henry Bergh was ready to abandon the work because of discouragement, he made the acquaintance of the late Horace B. Clatiin, of Isew York, who at once gave it his hearfr sympathy and support, and contributed $25,(XXJ to it shortly before his death. Such a movement could not long be confined to New York. It spread all over the country, and there are now in nearly every State, ana in hundreds of cities of the Union, societies ef this kind. Central Christian Advocate, The term "chestnut" in its latest use applies to stale jokes, twice-told tales, and, generally, to whatever is especially trite. It originated in Philadelphia, and was used, previously, in connection with the Chestnut Street Theater of that city. If the remark, witticssm, or story was musty with age it was said to be old enough to be got ort" at that theater. The distinguishing characteristic of the Chestnut Street Theater entertainments was so well known in Philadelpia that the word "chestnut" very readily came to have its present slang meaning in that city, and from there it worked itself out until it has come to be national. The mischevious bov ia simply a locomotive off the track. Employment which is profitable and pleasant will keep him straight, and afford an outlet 'or his supernous energies. Some boys are so full of life and enthusiasm that it seems almost impossible to find employment for them. They need physical exercise ia addition to mental work. You may find out who these boys are in a school by watching their actions. They never sit long at a time. Such restless dispositions must be made a special study, Many times, if such a boy is asked to fetch a pitcher of water or an armful of wood, he will be diverted from the mischief he was meditating. Employment is the safety valve which must sometimes be opened. Scratches.

JACKSON'S MONUMENT. tsnaaBBBaaaMaaBMBBBaaa Another Memorial Incomplete and Left to Decay. INew Orleans Correspondence Chicago Times. Close by here, in the old French quarters, and almost in the shadow of the cathedral, stands the little red-tile Criminal Court House in which General Jackson was found guilty, or rather in which he pleaded guiltv, of superseding the civil law with that of military during the siege of the city by- the British. A mile or two further down the embankment of the angry and surging river stands the once famous Crauline Convent the first in all the Americas, The door-sill was red with blood on the day of battle here. General Harney, our oldest soldier, told me last summer that he saw the battle of New Orleans, but did not take part. He told me that he was but a lad then, but distinctly remembers standing on the high and heaped-up bank of the river and seeing them carrying the wounded into the convent The battle-ground of New Orleans is to-day the very prettiest spot of interest to be found in all our land. It is a beautiful orange grove, and under these fruitful and laden trees is the most perfect riot ef flowers that art and generous nature can bring together. Many of these flowers are such as blossom the winter through.' Here the Federal authorities estaolished a cemetery for the soldiers. Tfrelve thousand Federal dead lie here, with nearly as many thousand British. . In corners of the graveyard you eee little heaps of British cannonballs, dng yip when digging graves for Federal dead. These balLs are small and rusty, not unlike the oranges that hung on the trees overhead. The monument to General Jackwn, placed

on the spot where he is supposed to have sat his horse and directed the battle, is only half completed and in a sad state of decay. I passed up the circular step inside to view the top of the half-finished shaft Our party was attacked by a swarm of honey bees, the February day being warm enough for them to be out,' and we had to hastily descend. At the base ot the monument I saw a nest of mice in a sheaf of rice. Negros are afraid of this monument and never go near it In fact they are afraid of the whole region round about this battle-ground and the monument; too many skulls and cannon-balls and the like are plowed up and picked up to suit our colored brother. And so it is the bees up in the broken old moaament and the little mice in the rice at the base of it have it all their own way. and nothing comes near to frighten or disturb them save aa occasional and rare knot of tourists from the North like that of my party yesterday afternoon. But some day they will all be rudely disturbed, the dead and the living. Up yonder by the convent the river is furious. It foams and frets and chafes against the bank, and is eating it away terribly. It is reported to be eighteen feet deep in this furious eddy. Great frames and drains and dikes have been let down here, weighed at the bottom with iron bars; aprons with great weighty stones to hold them in place against the bank have been letdown into the deep, dark, whirling water, but it will not be satisfied. Some night the old Urs aline Convent, and all its nobie army of nurses and ministering angels, will go down together. And then the monument the double burying ground, the bones, the cannon balls and all will follow.

SAM JONES, THE REVIVALIST, WnO IS ABOUT TO Ü5DERT.VCB THE CONVERSION Of CHICAGO. Jf what some of its leading citizens say of it is true, Chicago badly needs a shaking up; the services of an energetic revivalist are much required in that stronghold of iniquity. With characteristic courage Sam Jones has undertaken to thunder the law and declare the Gospel in the ears of the big and multitudinous sinners of the city by Lake Michigan. His good work elsewhere encourages the expectation that even Chicago is not so wicked that it can not be made better, as the result of his earnest and interesting ministrations. ' The leading revivalist of the day is of good stock. He was born in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, in 1849. His father was a soldier in the war. and afterward practiced law. Several of his uncles and his grandfather share, or did share, with him the preacher's vocation, with preferences for the Methodist denomination. Sam Jones, though not a learned, is far from being an unlettered man, and could be more elegant in his diction if he cared more for the literary proprieties. He received a good academic education, and was a voracious reader during his boyhood and youth. Having attained the proper age, he adopted the learned profession of the law, and prospered in practice notwithstanding that, according to his account of what he was at that period of his life, he was a drunkard and a gambler. There is no evidence that he was even a "hard" character. He was generous, gay, jovial, and a bit wild, and blundered into wickedness sometimes, but was never a hardened sinner, and his friends deprecate his being so understood when he calls his past to mind in the great congregation. The revivalist married when young, and began a singularly harmonious domestic life with a daughter of Kentucky, who is now living, and the joyful mother of six children. It was in the year 1370 that Sam began to take a ' religious view of life, the occasion of the change being the impression wrought on his mind by the death of his father. Soon after this event he was "soundly converted," joined the church, and began to be heard in meeting. His gifts illumined his graces, and before long he was a popular preacher. The first ten years of his work in the pulpit were spent in different parts of Georgia. After that time, in 1831, he began revivalistic work outside of his native State.' Iiis reputation is now as wide as the diffusion of ephemeral literatuie. Fire Losses. New Yobk, Feb. 27. Early this morning fire broke out from some unknown cause In the stable of Patrick Mac key, in Magnolia street Brooklyn. The high winds fanned the flames and scattered the burning embers in every direction. The fire spread to Mr. Mackey's dwelling, and in a short time both were demolished, causing a loss of $2,.rioQ. The fire communicated to the Lutheran Cemetery and Cypress Hills Kail road Company's depot. The firemen could not check the names, and the horses were rescued with difliculty. The depot, sheds and stables were burned with forty cars, seven motors and a quantity of harness. The companv estimate their loss at over f 100,000; insured in different companies, but not for the full amount. Another fire occurred early this morning In the four-story brick building, No. 257 First street, New York, which .is occupied for manufacturing purposes. The first and second floors were occupied by C. D. Demorest as a manufactory for opera chairs. His loss is about $25,000. The third and fourth floors are occupied by Stephen Simonds as a nickel-plating works. His loss is about $5,000. The building which was destroyed waa valued at $8,000.

THE MYSTIC NUMBER SEVEN, ' Some References which Were Found ia a School Contest.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The frequent recurrence of the word "seven" in Scriptural writings," where it is almost invariably used in an arbitrary way, gives color to the popular belief that a significance was attached to the number not given to others in days of Biblical history. It was probably owing to the oft-repeated, use of the number that the seventh son and especially the seventh son of a seventh son was particularly wise and endowed with rare abilities. Is is also probable that the delusion as to luck in odd numbers had its origin in the multiI lied Scriptural use of the word seven. The att ex is often termed the divine number and the mystic seven. ' During the past week quite an excitement prevailed among the young ladies of the Ursuline Academy, occasioned by a search for wonders of the world, and events of importance in ancient and modern history in which the significant number bore a part & prize being awarded to the class obtaining the highest number of references. . The seven wonders of the world and the seven days of the week led the list and are followed reference among many others of a h'storic character to the seven cities that claim the birth of Homer; the seven pyramids of Egypt; the seven ages of man; the Mount Cenis tunnel in Italy, seven miles in length ; the surrender of the Trojans to Alexander, in 330 B. C, after a seven months' defense; the seven Years' War, the exhibition of the skull and arm bone of Charlemagne at Aix Le Chapelle every seven years; Rome and Constantinople each on seven hills; the seventh of January called Distaff Day; the seven weeks from Easter to the Feast of Pentecost; the seventh Jewish year consisting of thirteen months; the death of Jobian by the fumes of coal after a reign of seven months; the seven remaining dramas of Sophoci?s; the coffin seven cubits in length found by a Spartan, and supposed to have contained the corpse of Orestes; the seven republics; the battle of Gettysburg fought in the seventh month; Frederick William's regiment of men all seven feet in height; the price of a pair of shoes 7 sterling in Austria in 1851 ; the seventh day the Jewish day of rest; the signing of the Declaration of Independance in the seventh month ; the seven sapphires in the crown of Queen Victoria ; the battle of the Seven Oaks, and the seven years' duration of the revolutionary war. Amonff the scriptural references to the mystic number are the seven golden lamps on the seven branched candlesticks; the sprinkling of a leper with the blood of a sparrow seven times; the seven devils posessed by St Magdalene; the beaat with the seven heads; Job's comforters who sat with him seven nights; the encompassing of the walls of Jericho seven days before they fell ; the binding of Sampson by the rhilistines with seven cords; the service of Jacob seven years for Leah and afterward seven for Rachel ; the offspring of Balaam on seven altars; the sprinkling of blood seven times before the mercy seat the seven spirits before the bouse of God; He that holdeth seven stars in his right hand ; the seven spirits of God; the seven angels; the seven candlesticks; the seven years' plague; the seven vials of wrath, and the woman upon a scarlet colbred beast full of names and blasphemies and having seven heads. Terpsichore holds a seven-stringed lyre. There are seven notes in music. Handel began music at the age of seven. References of a scientific nature are made to the seven colors of the rainbow; the shooting stars with luminus trains seen in 1SG7 ; the seven kinds of clouds: the seven-fingered digitate leaf; the seven divisions of the reptillian age ; the seven morning stars; the necessity for vaccination every seven years; the group of stars in the constellation Taurus called the Pleiads. These references are but a few of the great aggregate numbers collected from the Bible, scientific, historical and other sources. ARTEMUS WARD. Nothine Rat a Wag; Though In That Line a Genius. (Edmund Kirke, in Harper's Magazine lor March. Calling upon Mr. Lincoln in one of the darkest days in the late war, I was surprised to see upon the mantel-piece a couple of volumes one a small Bible, the other "Artemus Ward, his book." "Do you read Artemus Ward?" I asked him, 4'I don't read anybody else," he answered, with a care-worn face; "he is inimitable." In the plain building before which we are standing the inimitable showman first set up his "wax riggers;" and if we enter Lere we may encounter the assistant editor of the Plaindealer who was the associate and intimate friend of "A. Ward"' when the latter was the editor of this journal. He has many anecdotes to tell of the genial showman. He describes his appearance, when he first came to the office, as decidedly rustic. He was. he says, loug, and lank, with flowing hair, and loosely fitting coat and trousers too short in the legs and bagging at the knees. His humor wa3 irrepressible, and always bubbling over, and he kept all about him in a constant state of merriment He was a wag, nothing but a wag, but in that line a genius. He could see only the ludicrous side of a subiect Going away once on a short vacation, he engaged this gentleman to perform his work during his absenee. He carefully instructed him as to his duties, and in doing so drew from his pocket a tow string about a foot and a half long, and told him he must furnish that amount of copy per day, leaving on his desk the measure as a reminder of the quantity. About this time he was called upon to respond to a toast to the press at a Ben Franklin festival held in Cleveland. He rose to his feet hung his head for a few moments in silence, and then sat down, having said nothing. In his account of the festival in the next day's Plaindealer his speech was reported by a blank space of about half a column of eloquent silence. This gentleman remembers that soon after A. Ward" entered the lecture field he was invited by a theatrical manager in San Francisco to deliver a course in California, The season being close at hand, the manager asked him by telegraph: "What will you take for forty nights in California? 'Answer immediately." Ward answered immediately by telegraph, "Brandy and water." The joke was noised throughout the State, and the result was, when Artemus went there to lecture on his own account he was met everywhere with overflowing houses. While engaged in lecturing in the West, he wrote this gentleman the following epistle: "My Deab George I want you to do me a favor. I . relied on one of my own men to save me the press notice. He didn't Will you collect them for me at once, and send them to me at the Bates house. Now this is taxing your good-nature, but you'll do it for me, won't you George? Do you know that ? ou remind me more and more of the noble lomans. I don't know who they were, but you remind me of them; you do, indeed. And could I have appealed toono of those noble Romans to cut out some press notices for me in vain? . I guess not Go on, young man, go on. Deal kindly with the aged. Rememler that we are here for only a little while, and that riches take unto themselves wings and fly away. Intoxicate the shunning bowl. Support your county pap;r.

CHICAGO MARKETS. Wheat Excited, Corn Rules Dull. While Pro. visions Have Been Very Weak. Special to the Sentinel. Chicago, Feb. 27. Renewed activity and excitement have characterized wheat on 'Change this week. Business has been large and the 'bulls" have held their own pretty well. Higher cables and reports of heavy export buying have been the features. How much of this export business has been bona fide and how much has been worked" by the big dealers who are "long" and anxious to influence prices is a question which has excited much discussion. Cable advices, both public and private, sustain the presumption that the foreign trade has seen its worst and if all the grain taken is really for export, then something like l.COO.OOO bushels el wheat will leave the seaboard for Europe within the next ten days. So long, however, as there are no large lots actually cleared the trade will continue to regard the purChases with, suspicion, and many will credit Armour or Norm Ream with manipulating the deal. Still the knowledge that wheat in European bins Is pretty low and fears that a foreign demand is about to absorb our surplus have made the "bears" nervous and induced many of the largest fehorta ' to cover. To help themselves out Jones and his crowd have freely circulated reports that orders have been given to resell the grain taken, but as yet there eeems to be no authority for this story. The recent cold snap has brought in some crop damage news from Southern Illinois and Kansas, but its effect upon the market so far has not been felt. This, however, only shows that the trade dec not think that reliable information upon that subject can be had so early. It may atill be a tact but at present have no influence. The shrinkage In the risible supply is not as rapid as the bulla had anticipated. It is decreasing at a rate which would be considered very satisfactory if it were not so large to begin with, and the magnitude of the movement is belittled by remarks to the effect that, more than a year will be required to get rid of the whole at the present rate ot reduction. It should be borne in in mind, however, that the entire exhaustion of stocks in sight would be even a more awkward fact than the unusually large supply of this winter, and that the chances ef accumulation in sight increase each year with the facilities for getting the grain out of first hands. For this reason Baker, Lester. Walker and other large holders are willing to let the market drift its own way for the present, but their confidence is firm in decided im.provement later on, especially as it is stated on good authority that Armour is working on the long side now. Oeorge Chandler says to-night: "We have secured an upturn; based principaly on decreasing stocks aud an increased outward movement. The bulls have been buying lor a year past in the belief that when these two things occurred we should have a boom. Now that the time ha come we lind a majority of these same men selling short which I regard as the strongest feature ef the situation." Corn rules dull. The February squeeze in New York is over, and nobody seems to nave been very badly hurt. Receipts continue on the increase and the grading is better, wnich it is thought has discouraged the Dow's party from continuing the deal further. Pi o visions have been very weak, owing to the dropping of some 75.UQ0 barrels f pork which Howe has been carrying for unknown principals. This has frozen out most of the small holders and the property is now concentrated in strong hands. Sentenced to be Hanged. FoETßatTH, Ark., Feb. 27.

The Dressed Iteef Controversy. St. Locis, Feb. 27. Yesterday, at the National Yards, a large handler of stock, who withholds his name, said: This dressed beef controversy has a peculiar interest to St. Louis. You see the St. Louis institution has not been taken into the Chicago combination, and is antagonistic to the Armour-Swift-Hammond combination, and has to buy in direct competition with those people, who secure their purchases at Chicago and Kansas City, where they make the markets to suit themselves, and after they buy cattle at their own prices complain bitterly against railroad discrimination. But these people will find that ther have run counter to the interests of too many classes. They antagonize the railroads, the butchers, the stock-yards, the cattle-raisers and theconsumers; they seem to want the whole earth, as the phrase, goes. It is a matter of easy demonstration that the triumvirate monopoly has made cattle prices at Chicago and Kansas City without regard to the shippers' interest. For instance, the dressed beef buyers' pool at Kansas City, and if a live stock shipper offers to take a p-prtion of consignment on a good figure, the salesman does not ecII the portion bid on, for if he does the pool buyer will not take the balance at any price. If the salesman in his dilemma offers the entire drove to the pool, they bid him away down. If he finally concludes to forward the cattle to Chicago, he has jumped from the frving-pan into the fire, for the Kansas Csiy bid his been forwarded by wire, and he will be slaughtered for bis. pains and pluck by the pool buyers in Chicago. You can readily see that these dressed beef people hold a dangerous power. Buying cattle thus as they do at their owu price, they are enabled to put retail meat on the market at prices which run the butcher out oi business in the East, and, for that matter, iu the West as well, but remember when once competition is killed they put the retail price up at thetr pleasure and the consumer is wholly at their mercy. By comparing the retail prices of beef for l.sl with the prices for 1X85 and so far into 1SS6. it will le found that while cattle iu a wholesale way have gone off heavily in price, the retail prices are the same. In Court the Second Time for Forgery. Boston, Feb. 27.-Joseph naynes Is a bright looking boy of fourteen, and those who saw him in the dock of the Municipal Court yesterday could scarcely believe him guilty of the forgeries charged against him. Young Haynes was employed four months ago by Johnson & Co. as an errand boy. Detected one day In forging a bill forf5.50, he was arrested, tried, convicted and sent to fail for thirty days. When he was released he concluded that he would become a telegraph bov, and finding that a recommendation was needed In order to secure a place, he drew up a document, giving himself a character that auy boy might be proud of, andlsigned to it the name of bis former employer. This had the desired effect. and he was hired. He soon tired of the place, however, aud obtained employment with Daniel 8tautou. a blacksmith, who found him a particularly bright boy and gradually placed implicit coutidence in him. About a week ago young Haynes was given (3.10 to pay to Mr. Jacob Kolb. He returned shortly after and presented what purported ta be the receipt of that gentleman. On Monday Mr. Stanton received notice from Mr. Kolb that he had not been paid, and he was asked to send the amount at onoe. Haynes boldly insisted that he had paid it. but made himself scarce at the first opportunity. Friday afternoon ilaynea waa arrested in the Mechahica' Exchange while at(esspui to cvUKt wvi ina m ii eta-

A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. Nathan Hall Murdered by the Turner Itrottaers. Frakkfoet, Ky., Feb. 17. The following account of a murder in Bell County has just reached here: The terrible tragedy which occurred at Harlan Court House, resulting In the murder of Nathan Hall and Robert Hall, some ten or fifteen days past, was repeated In Bell County on Wednesday, February 17,. near rineville. Advicej from various sources, all of which have been confirmed, say that William Lane, a highly esteemed young man. was at work getting out saw-logs, baring with him a boy Darned 1 nomas Black, and thaiwhile returning to their home Garden Turner. Lee Turner, John Turner and others, who bad been V ing in wait for them, sprang from the busht and fired upon them, shooting Lane through the body, mortally wounding him, but missing Black. Wheu Lane received the shot he told Black to take care cf himself, that be (Lane) was killad. At the Fame time he raised his weajon and fired at Gordon Turner, shooting him through the head. killiDg him instantly. lane then retreated a few steps and fell, while the remainiug Turners were shooting at him. but he got up and shot again and again at his pursuers, but missed them, and falling again, where he received two or three more snots, aitcr which be got up and reached the house of Winston Partin, whose residence waa onlv about 1.1 or UOO vards from where the conflict beg;n. Lane died at Mr. Partin'a honse the next morning. " Thomas Black maae gooa bis escape, ui was pursued and diligently searched for by the gang as soon as they were satisfied lane waa killed. The report savs it is a notorious fact that after lane had fallen Into the dcor of Partin s bouse, the Turners surrounded the bouse and would not allow anr of Mf. Lane's friends to see him until after be died. From ixty to serenty shots were fired during the terrible struggle. After Laue died the Turners went to Iineville, the county seat of Bell County, and pretended t surrender, but in reality to jolu more friends, who will shield them from the vengeance of violated law, and where they were at last accounts enjoying absolute freedom. Extraordinary Life of a Recluse. Womelsdorf, Ta., Feb. 27.

The oil man lay stretched upon a buffalo robe, and the wood fire on his hearth was out Three djtys gd. when he was in good health, he predicted that he would die February 25, at 4 o'cloc k in the-morning, audit is firmly believed that it wss about that time he died. There was no evidence of a violent death, as the old man looked as it he had peacefully and naturallv passed awav. fiftv years ago he lost his wife, and Immediately after that he went up on the mountain an 1 selected an extremely wild and unfrequented place and vowed he would never leave it nor acrain mingle with the people of the world, but would prepare himself to meet the soul of his dead wife. last month Nagle said be was sure the dead never returned to earth, for if ever a man p-aye-l titty years to get but one glance of his wife to assure him that there was a hereafter and that the dead came together again that maa was hiweU. but be never had the slightest erideooe of Immortality more than his strong and unalterable lalth in Scripture. - He eke4 out a frugal ütbiVnr h chnnnin wrwvl and ratherinr berries.
