REMARKABLE CASE OF PREMONITION.

At Wyke (Yorkshire) Mrs Thornton, of Hansom Fold, who is said to have had visionary foresight of several impending domestic troubles during her life, had a remarkable warning of danger to a member of her family, this being the clearest and most astonishing case of second sight in her amazing experience. er daughter Mabel (14) was m the employ of Messrs Sutcliffe and Sons, at Coll Mill, Odsal, as a doffer. She goes to her work about 6 o’clock in the morning, and it was just after she had gone that her mother is said to have liad a vivid dream in which she saw her daughter’s right am bandaged down almost to the finger-tips, and stained with blood. She was so impressed that she told her husband about it, and also a neighbour. Her husband tried to laugh it off, saying he dreamed he had a big pile of money, but when he woke he found it had vanished. Mrs Thornton felt veiy uncomfortable all the day, and said if Doris had set off when she awoke she would not have had to go. The girl usually returned home about 6 p.m., and when she did not arrive about that time her mother became still more anxious. About half-past 6 a boy came from the mill, ancl in answer to Mrs Thornton’s inquiry as to what sort of accident Doris had undergone he explained that about 5 p.m. hei right arm had been caught by the machinery and broken in two places. After the limb had been bandaged by a doctor she was taken to the infirmary, and later in the evening returned home. The girl stated that she was taking the full tubes off the spinning frames and putting new ones on. The top bars were up, and the frame was standing. Being a rather small girl, she had to stretch to put the top boards on, and in so doing she accidentally set the frame going. Her hand was pulled round with a wheel, but she managed to throw the machine out of gear again and drag her hand out before losing consciousness.
