AGExrLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line; and we con slider them good AVID reliable
time keepers. Indeed, 1 have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have ever had in use
on this road. Asyou are aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, Sc ae-
knowledged good reputation; but a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
rs good service rs yours. =. ..4,,s,.ts 80.

PUMPING WATER
GRINDING GRAIN
The Cheapest Power
Known to the World

There are hundreds Of large, well -watered stock
farms in the country which the owners value fully
one thousand dollars more than if they were not
thus provided with water. 1t is high time, there
fore, for the great Agricultural Interest Of the
country that the farmers of the northwest should
be .made aware of the fact that all the high and
dry. prairies of the country, by the use of this
cheap and simple device, can be made good stock
farms, and really more valuable than those pos-
sessing these natural advantages for water, for
there is no waste land, and the water can be pro-
vded directly at the points desired, in farm yards
and pastures.I ,5zs, ~. ss-...ss - 81

be anEthns increase the real value of his farm
from SAOe to $I,00e, viii be content to make a

A WONDERFUL DREAM.

Everybody has heard wonderful
series of dreams that came true, re-
ssH a!!ttiiHgg il marvellous discoveries
wealth, revelations Of crime, and
mysterious information of various
sorts.
Skeptical people are at liberty to
believe Of course, what they please,
but the following story came to us
well authenticated, and the finale is,
we think, quite original The
dreamer was a gentleman residing
in one Of a row OF houses in street
in Islington TO mention names
might be very unpleasant. He
dreamed one night that he had dis
covered at his house a hidden closet,
which was stored with silver and
other valuable articles, sufficient to
get him up in the world as u man of
wealth. In the morning he told his
,Bife, who, like a sensible woman,
asked him what he had eaten before
he went to bed, and warned him of
Che ill-efiects of late suppers. The
aext night he went to bed as usual,
when 10! the same dream was re-
peated. TO doubt any longer would
be to fly in the face OF fortune, that
was opening the portals of wealth to
the happy dreamer. He resolved
upon an exploration. Modern built
houses, put up in rows for specula-
ton. to sell or rent, do not present
any architectural intricacies where a
closet might be slowed away upper
ceived ; the lines are rectangular,
and every inch of space saved. The
hidden closet with the treasure must
be somewhere in the walls. With
hammer the dreamer went about
the house, sounding the walls, for
publications OF the concealed recepta-
Gle.
IT last his search was rewarded.
n blow struck on the wall brought
forth metallic jingling in response.
Vie struck again, and the same mu-
steal echo came forth Bewidered
Visions OF wealth arose before the
delighted -; he called his wife
to behold the realization of his
dream.
Two Or three vigorous blows
brought down the plaster from the
wall, broke through the laths, and
revealed an aperture, through which
Mr.. - thrust his hand and brought
forth a handful Of spoons and forks.
Mrs. - now suggested that they
had better proceed cautiously, and
keep their good fortune quiet The
hole in the wall was covered up, and
the happy couple retired to discuss
their fortune.
In few minutes they were star
tied by violent ring at the front
door bell. Mr.. - responded to
the summons, and found on the door
step his next door nelghbor, III Il
state of intense excitement.

Il am" said Mr.. -.
"Then, sir, allow me to tell you
that there is robber i'll your house
who has been committing burglary
on my premises, by breaking through
your wall into my closet, and steal
ing my silver ware"
MIR. IS countenance underwent
an extraordinary change of express
sion as the truth flashed upon him.
He rushed up stairs to take closer
inspection of his secret closet, when
the truth of the case was soon dis
closed The houses were separated
by a partition wall, and Mr..
had realized his dream by breaking
