A man named MeHugh was hann'ed a few 1 days ago, in Cincinnati for the murder of his l wife, and the day before the execution hel told Mr. Shockley, an officer of the prison, that he had had a presentiment of the murder and his own death on the gallows for thirty years. His remarkable hallucination is re- lated as follows: One day he was ascending a dark stairway to his room. He was sobeil and in good health. Suddenly, it seemed to] him as his right arm had been infused with; a Camsonian strength. Just then he reached; the door, and he was tempted to test the new- ly possessed strength upon it. He gave the door what he supposed was a slight tap, {on he scarcely telt the blow on his knuckles.â€"i The d. or, however, quivered under its force, 'and parts of the plastering on the wall fell down. He looked to his arm to see it it had been increased in size. Just then his head became transfixed, and he could move it iwither one way not the other. \Vhile he was in that positi’m, a strange voice spoke terrible words to him. When the voice died away, his head became movable. He looked up and around, but no one was near him.-- Again he ganced at his arm, again his head become transfixed, and again were the ter- rible words snokon. As soon as he regained power to move. he fled to his room, and tried in vain to forget what had passed, but the voice continued to ring in his ears. Often in after years, he heard it. “ 1’” not tell you what the words were,” said he to Mr. Shock- ley, “ for they are to go with me to the grave You know what I have done, and what is my tate. Put the two together and you can con- jecture the nature of the words. Such was the vision that haunted llttS unfortunate man through his whole manhood. Impressed with the idea that fate had decreed that he must kill his wife and die for the crime, he perpe- trated the atrocious deed. and willingly sur- rendered himself to the gallows. Population of the World. The population of the world is increasing, and, rt we give to the term Christian the widest latitude, it is by no means certain that the number of Pagans in the world is not new as great as aw it was. Twenty years ago our highest estimate of the pepnlation of the globe was about 8M),(l00,(}00. It is now admitted by all to be not less than ten,and by those who are the informed, to be at Feast twelve hundred millions. This change of tignres is due in part to a more accr rate knowledge of the geography 0f the world; but there has been a great increase in many onuntries, and no doubt in the aggregate, a decided advance in the papillation of the globe. From the best and latest sonrees ol' mr ~:: aw derive the following estimate: The Presentiment of a Murderer.
