FULFILMINT Or .1 DRSAIII.—Ons of those strange
coincidences which seems to justify the popular supersti-
tion in regard for dreams, lima just occurred. An elderly
man named William Facey, • superannuated rural
messenger, still in the employ of Mr. Parsons, postmaster
of the Dorchester Post office, dreamt that his wile had been
drowned. This dream occurred during the absence from
home of Mrs. Farey, she having joined on Wednesday in an
excursion to Southampton, accompanied by her married
daughter (Mrs. Randall) and her soll.in-law.and the dream
" ciune true." In the course of the aftenmou the party
with two other females went in a small boat to see one of
the yachts lying in the Southampton waters, and having
reached the side of the vessel the visitors attempted to
board her by means of a ladder which was let down, when
the boat was accidentally weimd, Mrs. Facey and others
of the party being immersed in the water. Mrs. Ferny
was drowned. The news of the disaster was conveyed to
her husband at Dorchester, but before receiving it he
observed "he knew all shout it, for be had dreamt that
his wife was drowned." This strangely fulfilled the dream.
