Strange Presentiment. The Galveston, (Texas,) Xetcs has the following : “Dr. Jesse Boring was so affected with a strange consciousness of some calamity in his family that he could not remain absent at New Orleans, where he was in attendance upon the Methodist General Conference. On | landing here a few days ago, he heard, tor the first time, of the death of his son, Dr. N. H. Rormg, Jr., from inju ries received some days previous by an accident on the Washington county The case is made still more I j singular by the fact that the son felt a presentiment of approaching death for some time before the accident, and had spoken of it to some of his relatives and intimate friends. The deceased, Dr. Boring, was pos sessed ot fine abilities well cultivated; which added to high moral character, and great suavity of manner, made him a general favorite. His loss is deep ly felt by all who knew him. A trib ute of respect to his memory was adopt ed at a public meeting in Chapel Hill, which evinoed the esteem he had won in that intilligent community, where ho had but recently settled as a prac* f'ttoner of medicine.

TJie idea ot a wooden spring, it appears, originated i with a. young house carpenter named Parker, who believed they could be , made with greater elasticity and.capaci ty, while l'reo from- the brittle, uncer tain and coirrpafralively unmanageable nature of steel. He accordingly work ‘oed' o ed out the idea, and has succeeded in ; producing a spring consisting 6f a paiF ; of bows of hickory, Weighing, when, t •finished and of the proper strength to ! carry two persons, about six'pounds— I or irbopt for'ty-fivq pounds lighter thau i a pair of the lightest cliptic springs. .Tlje arches of these springs- rests upon the axle as usu,af.;'ttke-cmls, rising at a moderate angle, ra-ccU midway between . the axles.'and re- there .clamped to | couple of light brackets-, Which’ • sup- I port tiro body of the wagon, env along | each centre of the tra-oie. It is als < ’ demonstrated tbatthe suple• hickory i will yield mrro gracefully to any jar i than even well-tempered steel, especial ly as all pressure is necessarily exerted in the direction of its fibres, : which direction of the pressure is an insnr- I ancc against breaking under a sharp ; and sudden strain, such as snaps the I ordinary spring by cracking its leaver I across. The tough vitality of the wood- 1 promises durability, and it needs bu t a glance to perceive the additional beauty which this method of construc tion gives to- the linear of a light ve hicle'. .
