PREsENTIMENT IN A DREAM.-This morning a |
young lady, daughter of Heman Miller track mas.
Ter OF the Central Railroad, told her parents soon
alter she arose that she had dreamed last night |
that Mr.. Keist, who attends the railroad bridge at
Aliens Creek was killed, and that Mrs. Keist came
to the house to tell Mr.. Miller short time after
relating this dream, and while the family were at |
breakfast, Mrs. keist came to tell that her husband
was killed by the cars last night at Brighton. So
impressed was the girl with the force of her dream
that sheEran to another room when she saw the /
woman approaching the door, she felt sure that
she had tale of sorrow to tell. Mr.. Keist was d /
German, who had worked for number of years
on the railroad, under the direction Of Mr. Miller
and his wife had often called at his house, and thus
q became well acquainted with the family. When
Miss Miller told her dream, Mr. Miller had not
heard of the accident; indeed the Coroner having
charge Of the body did not know who the unfortti.
nate man was. While there are thousands Of
dreams that are not premonitory, now and then
there is one that is to say the least co-incdentaf
with actual occurrences, of which the dreamer
knew nothing EUnon and ADV, Rochester
