Singular Presentiment of death.

--The Wilkesbarre (Penn.) Record says:

‘ Mrs. Seherer, wife of our townsman, Christian Scherer, died last Thursday, after a short illness. Some three years ago Mrs. Scherer dreamed that she should die in ten years, and with cholera.--As time passed she carried the memory of this singular dream with her, and, is her father had a similar warning, which was verified, she had faith in its consummation. Week before last she told her husband that the time was approaching, and she desired him to go to the cemetery to select a lot. He evaded the matter for a time, hoping to divert her mind from the melancholy subject, but she could not forget it. On Friday they appointed to go, but were prevented, and on Saturday again something interfered. On Tuesday Mrs. Scherer was taken sick, and on Thursday she deported.
