ed with a 'nauraer trial which took place
in England 'early in the reign nt the first
Charles. Sir John Maynard, one ot the
greatest lawyers, is the authority for the
supernatural events of the trial, and in
his quaint preface to his notes he says he
"thought good to report the evidence
which, was given, wItich many did hear,
that the memory thereof might not be
lost by miscarriage of papers or other-
wise."
One Johan Norkett, a farmer's wife,
had died, and at the coroaer's Inquest evi-
dence was given proving that the wom-
an's throat had been cut from ear to ear.
At first the jury favored a verdict of fele
de se, and the body was interred, but ru-
mors became general pinnting to toul
play, and the body wan exhamed. Thir-
ty days after the death the jury assem-
bled before the body and four saripected
persons were brought ins The only. evi-
dence against the prisoners was that they
, slept in an adjoining room and that no
one had passed that room; "therefore, If
she did not murder herself, they must be
the murderers." •
What took place at the remarkable post
modem inquiry may best be described in
the words of a witness at the subsequent"
trial, who was described as "an aricient
and grave person, niinister to the parish
where this nierder was eammitted." This
'estimable- gentleman mini-: "They (the
prisoners) did touch the dead, body, where -

or, and the dead opened one Of her eyes
and shut it again,- which she did three
several times. She likewise thrust out
the ring or marriage linger' three thites
and pulled it in again, and the finger
dropped blood on the floor." .
Naturally enough such remarkable evi-
dence as this was received with some Sus-
picion by the court, Although the witness,
to again quote Sir John Maynard, "was
a reverend person about 60 years of age,

Ample confirmation....of. ansobyieusly_lm-,

coming, and. the "admiration" turned to
horror, eo much so that the prisoners
were convicted, and two of them suffered
death at the hand ef the common hahg-
man. Neither , of the victims, one of
whom was an aged woman; could ever be
prevailed upon to confess any tompticity
InSthe crime.
In 1751 an Irish murderer was convict-
ed largely upon dream evidence. A Wa-
terford publican named Rogers dreamed .
one night that he saw a man .murder an-
other man on a green apot .on the summit
of an adjoining mountein. . was able•
next day to describe •both men' with per-
fect accuracy, and did so to Many of his
friends. One of the was exception-
ally strong, the other weak and miny; but
It was the latter who in the vision.eom-
mitted the murder. Rogers persuaded .the
• parish priest -to accompany him to • the• •
spot, -which he found without difficUlty,
, but where there seemed to be no traces of
a murder or a struggle; hence- Rogers got
rather laughed it. Next day, however.
two men entered the public house, and
Mrs. Rogers' at Mite "-recognized them
from her hueband's description of the
heroes in -the -visions -Much alarreed, she
fetched her husbend, who was also cer-
tain they were the two men.

the one he expected to be .murdered to re-
main, but without avail. • He nearly
fainted with fright after the men had gone
and finally Persuaded a neighbor to ac-
combany him he green spot on the
hill, where,ss e ough, the .tragedy of
the dream ad taken place in reality.
The murderer. , was traeked and caught,
and Rogers was the principal witness.
His recital of hie -dream was ecrvivid-that
the prisoner at once confessed, .:adding
that he killed his companion exactly • as
foretold In the dream. The weapon used
was a knife, and as eight stabs were seen
by Rogers, in his dream, so the murderer
admitted that he drove his knife up to the
handle in his companion's body exact!),

In 1801 a woman named Kraenie ap-

Be gave his eyes to the skies of blue.

And he saw the depths that he could not sound,
And he heard the unworldly songs,
And his heart, unfettered. Bed past the bound
Of a tired life's rights and wrongs,
.And he neither wrought nor played nor slept
Nor troubled with good and ill,
And his dreams were vague as the meats that

And there from morning till eve 110 lay,
And never a joy he souglir

Because he had lived for naught.

Hard Work and Perseverance.
Just beyond "the divide", two men kept
a store. They' were James L. Flood and
William O'Brien. They had saved some
money after a few years of trading witb
the miners, were ready for a deal in one
of the mines and had faith in Mackay
and Fair- So. when Mackay walked inter
heir store one morning and remarked,
'Jim Flood, tf you and O'Brien will put
up the money, Fair and I will put up the
brain, and I think the four of us can buy

stainers had struck the "lead" they had ex-

There seemed to be nothing in the rock
they brought out of the earth. Other min-
ers met them day after day and laughed
at their apparently hopeless task. They
were jeered and made fun of. But they
kept serious faces and sober minds and
were not to be thwarted by the idle talk
of idlers.
One morning, when the prorniect seem-

"Tohn, luck has gone agatnst you. Why
don't you quit and go prospecting?"
"The man who figures on luck in min.

The four partners did not lose their
grit, nor did they rely on luck. Ope after-
