Incident of the Stolen Pocketbook—Thee
Seer Eventually lleeume, a Wreck,
Looking over Watson's "Annals of
Philadclplila," published in 1930, I cases°
germ a remarkable story, which cannot
fail to be of interest both Vocally and
generally, even et this late day, Tho
author says:
"The good people of Caledonia have int
long anti exclusively ely engrossed the fuer
-
ulty of second sightthat it may justly
surpriee many to learn that we also have
been favored with at least ono case as
well attested as their own. I refer to the
instance of Eli Yarnell, of Frankford.
Whatever wore his first peculiarities,. he
in time lost them, Ho fell into intem-
perate habits, became a wanderer, and
died in Virginia, a young man.
ilii$ remarkably gifted person was
born in Bucks county, Pa., and came
with his parents to tlio vicinity of Pitts,
burg;. The account of him contained in
the narrative before mentioned is glib,
stance as follovrs:
When Yarnell was /Aping nog this
city, being then a child apply 7' years of
age, as he was sitting in the house one
day he suddenly burst into a fit of al-
mot uncontrollable laughter. His
mother ached him what pleased hint BO
much. Tlio boy replied that he saw his
father (who was not at home) running
rapidly down the mountain side, trying
to overtake aug of whisky which he
had let fall. T1ie jug rolled part way
down the declivity, but was caught by
the old elan before he got to the bottom.
When tho father reached home he con-
firmed the a11e1e story, to the great cur -
prise of all., After this the boy excited
Mach talk and wonderment in the tleipb-
borhood.
s tri AT LONG ix'Anon.
About two years later the 'V trnal's
were visited by a friend named Robert
Verret), with other Quaker relatives or
acquaintances from Ducks county,
Verne, to test the lad's miraculous
power, asked flim various questions and
among other things inquired what was
then going on at his own liolne is Bucks
county. The l.oy described the house,
which 1 '
li he had never seen; stated that it
wasuilt a
p
b 1 t1 Y of logs and partly of
stone; that there was a brill pendia front
of the house which had recently been:
drained, and•concluded with a descrip-
tion of the people in the house, and of
two persons, a man and a woman, wlho
aero setting on the front porch.
When Verret, reached home he in-
quired who had been at his house at tho
day and hour he had held hit conversa-
tion with young .Yarnell. , He learned
that there had been a shower at the time;
and several of 'the field hands had gone
into the house to escape the rain; the
persons on the porch had been faithfully
described,even to the color of their
hair. As to the mill pond, the men hacl
drained it in order to catch muskrats. In
short, every detail given by the boy was
proven to bo accurate.
The habit of the young seer, when
asked to exercise his singular faculty,
was to hold his head downward, often
closing his eyes. After waiting for some
time, apparently deep in thought, ho
would declare what he sawin his visions.
He was sometimes found along in the
fields, sitting on a stump and crying;
On being ask -ed the cause of his grief he
said he saw great numbers of Olen en-
gaged in killing each other. Although
holiad never seen a battle, t11 ship or e.
cannon, he described military and naval
battles as if he had been an actual
looker on.
FINALLY BECAME A WIt 0 .
Some of the Quakers who saw hila ben
came mach interested in the boy, believe
ing thin possessed of a noble gift, and
desirecl to have charge of his bringing
up. IIe was accordingly :apprenticed to
a L7rankford tanner, but ho attracted so
. much attention, and so many called at
the shop, to hold conversation with hint
that his master became annoyed and
tried to discourage such curiosity. Tho
boy, therefore, began to shun questions
as much as possible, and seemed by de-
grees to lose his singular gift. He drifted
into bad company and eventually became
a wreck. "
His mother never allowed him to take
any money for answering questions, be-
lieving that his visions were God given,
and that it would be wrong tq turn them
to account pecuniarily. Wives whose
husbands had long been missing and
were supposed to have been lost at ilea
or perished in accidents,' and others
whose relatives rap would
come to hint for information. Of thoso
still alive, the would toll how they looked
and what they were doing. On ono oc-
casion a man asked bins in jest who had
stolen his pocketbook and was much
taken aback when the lad replied:
"No one; but you stole a pocketbook
front ,mother inan when in n crowd."
And the historian of the boy's wonder-,
ful deeds states that such wart the fact.
This is about all there is of the strange
narrative, which, like Sam Weller's love
let -ter, ends so abruptly that the reader
wishes it were longer: ---Pittsburg Dis-

Although the Gold Coast is notfavor-

men, the natives are strong and healthy
enough. The children aro particularly
epriglitly and fat. They raw about in a
state of nature, with merely a girdle of
beads around their waists, in lieu o1
clothing. They are marriageable at''an
early age, commencing the cares of
wedded life at 10. The infants aro car-

tion. A. piece of light wood about ten
inches long by four or fide broad is cov-

Tho burials pf the Gold coast are very
peculiar. Most of the people Own their
houses, and the family have. p�erhaps
lived in there for generations, The cus-
tom doubtless arose from considerations
of security, for fear the graves might be
