(Strange Happening).In a certain house in Skerries there was a man dying. There were only two people in the house besides the dying man.
At twelve-o-clock a dozen of rats came into the room. One hour later the man died, and no sooner had the breath left the man but the rats went off.
A priest was asked what was the meaning of the rats but he could not tell.John Fox,
