George Holgate came to this oity about eight years .ago. and was engaged at Wanzer's Machine Factory as an adjuster. He was also employed at Beckett's Factory. During his residence here he often went into long yarns about . his exploitS in the American waroo. He was out „went with Kit Carson • and Buffalo ---Bill ailing the war, and fought against; the Indians after the Southerners had Incited then:1,o to—sebllku---agaioat the North.

While here he showed some knowledge of chemiso try and other scientific subjects. He, said that he had made experiments with gun- cotton and dynamite while out west, but he made no -mention of an infernal machine t� any of 'his friends. He was well liked by all with .'vvhdra lie came in contact here And' during his stay lived down near -Beckett's foundry with his wife,a Wisconsin lady. Hehad a great' deal of energy about him and Was always -talking about something new in machinert He went to the Centennial, from this city, as agent for a patent fruit canning process. The process consisted in mixing a concoc- tion of sulphur and eggs with. the. fruit. By Selling out his interest ,in -this he made a large sum of money. He then went into the paint business there. The paint process was a patent one and Hol- gate made a good living out of it. He has lately turned up in Philadelphia • as -r- an infernal machine maker and recently, told a reporter of the: Philadelphia Recbrd that not only was he the maker of the hellish contrivance designed by O'Donovan Roses and compatriots to blow England up sky- high, but that at present he is in negotia- tion with the representatiVea of Arabi Bey to furnish torpedoes that will drive tunnels' through the British irenclads, and almost start the Suez Canal from its foundations. The frequent discovery for to years past in trans-Atlantio steamers and on English quays of clockwork machines charged with terrible- explosives has, kept John Bull's teeth a -chatter. It will be remembered that in Julie; 1881, ten clock- work machines; were sent from Boston in a cargo of cemeotbarrels, and were captured -in Liverpool 'on- infornat,tion, cabled from ° The keenest United States; detectives have never been able to placetheir hands on the person who •. made ihe„ helIih Machines which left .this'country, and 'now it appears, upon. his .o.yv.n eta:4=6ot; that George Holgate, of No...1,502'Seiathliatliper street, is the man. - • Oh, yes," said he, last night, seated ,in his coey.parlor. ."

A despatch from Detroit says: The whole colored population of Essex County, juet,aernafi the, river, .au kb:1W of the white People of that quiet locality, are -excited over •the reeent mysterious disap- pearance and the burning down of the house of two inoffensive colored people named Archibald and Annie Mann, who lived in Sandwich Eaet, alaout ten miles southeastsif Windsor. Mann was a minis- ter as well as a carpenter. • He was a quiet old mao of 60 years, hisJwife Annie being considerably his junior: After a while Mr. and Mrs. Mann asserted to the people of their own race that their lives had been threatened openly and by letter by Some of the neighbors On the 14th of June Mr. Mann about noon threw down, the tools he was working with, and said to his fellow workers that he had a presentiment that something awful was going to happen to 'maw" his Wife.,--and—thatt he-coul;dstiots, work. After a while he was persuaded to keep oia with his work, that it wan silly to let his imagination run away ' with him. After working a short time he declared that it was `no use for him • to go on. 11,13 Ile felt it in him.that something was wrong with his wife or vras going to happen to himeelf and her. He said he would go home and if he got over his feeling he woultreturn to work. He left his tools andeverything where he vvas working and went towards home. That was the - last time he was seen.

The white people say they may have been beef bones, and the colored people declare they were human bones. The eolored people seem to tear their -white neighbors, from whom they say the threat- ening letters come. If there were anything in this belief, it seems strange that ouch inoffensive persons as Mann and his wife should have, been selectedas sacrifices to sectionalhatred.

Mrs. Lincoln had, before her marriage, prophesied' that Lincoln would be President of the United States. Just after hi election a singular circumstance occurred which once more brought out the gif t of prophecy which ,Mrs. Lincoln possessed. Mr. Lincoln described it in the following language " It was after My election, when the news had been • corning in. thick and fast all day and there had -been a great hurrah, boys!' 'so that I was well tired out -and went home to rest, throwing myself upon it lounge inouly, :chamber. Opposite to where I lay was a bureau with a swinging glass upon it, and looking in that glass I saw myself refledted nearly at full length, but my face, 'noticed, had tw,) separate and distinct images, the tip of the OSe of . one being about three inches from the tip of the other. I was a little bothered, perlaaps startled. I got up abdtokd1nbe- glassoslant -the -illusion" „vanished., On lying down again I saw it a second time -plainer if possible than before; and then I noticed that one of the faces wae Paler than the other. I got up and the, thing melted away, and I,went off, and in the excitement of the hour forgot all about it -nearly, but not quite -for the thing would once in a while come up and give me a little pang as though something uncorci- fortable had happened. When I came home I told my wile about it, and a few days after I tried the experiment again, when, sure enough, the thing tame back again; but I never,succeeded in bringing' the ghost baok after that, though I once tried very industriously to show it to my wife, who Was worried about it somewhat; She thought it was ' it sign ' that I was to be elected to it second term 'of office, and that theopaleneas of one of the facesi was an omen that I ahould not s'ee' life through the second term." Mr. Lincoln regarded the- vision as an optical delusion caused by ,oervousness.
