with a fixed regard at N. J. S. , and then passed away. N. J. S. im- 

 mediately informed his wife what he had seen, and asked her the time. 

 It was 12 minutes to 9. It could not be known precisely at what time 

 F. L. died, as he was alone, but it was between 8:35 and 9. 



Under date of Nov. 1884, Mrs. Bettany, of Dulwich, Eng., writes the 

 authors of Phantasms, as follows. (Vol. 1, p. 194). "When I was a 

 child, I had many remarkable experiences of a physical nature, which I 

 remember to have looked upon as ordinary and natural at the time. 

 On one occasion (I am unable to fix the date, but I must have been 

 about 10 years old) I was walking in a country lane at A, the place 

 where my parents then resided. I was reading geometry as I walked 

 along, a subject little likely to produce fancies or morbid phenomena of 

 any kind, when in a moment I saw a bedroom, known as the white 

 room in my home, and upon the floor lay my mother, to all appearance 

 dead. The vision must have remained some minutes during which time 

 my real surroundings appeared to pale and die out ; but as the vision 

 faded, actual surroundings came back, at first dimly, and then clearly. 



I could not doubt that what I had seen was real, so instead of going 

 home, I went at once to the house of our medical man, and found him 

 at home. He at once set out with me for my home, on the way putting 

 questions I could not answer, as my mother was to all appearance well 

 when I left home. I led the doctor straight to the white room, where 

 we found my mother actually lying, as in my vision. This was true, 

 even to minute details. She had been seized suddenly by an attack at 

 the heart, and would soon have breathed her last but for the doctor's 

 timely advent. I shall get my father and mother to read this and 

 sign it. Jeanie Grwynne-Bettany. "

Some cases are recorded in which there are two percipients moved by 

 the same agency. (The percipient is the person who receives the im- 

 pression or sees the vision, while the agent is the person from whom it 

 comes. ) 



Sarah Eustance, of Stretton, Eng., died on July 3d, 1866, aged 45. 

 Twelve or 14 hours before her death, she expressed an intense longing 

 to see once more her brother-in-law, John Done, to whom she was much 

 attached, and whom she familiarly addressed as "uncle," and his 

 niece, Rosanna, who lived at a distance of 12 or 13 miles. At the 

 time indicated, Mr. Done, who had been asleep, awoke, hearing a voice 

 distinctly call him, "Uncle, uncle, uncle ! " He, thinking it was Ros- 

 anna who had called him, went to her room, and found that she too, had 

 been awakened by some unknown influence, and heard a voice call dis-
