A strange Drenm ana Wedding.
One of tho happiest men that ever
isurneyed a hundred a from Michigan
took the Toledo express Oh Saturday at
Fremont, bound for Toledo and his home
i'm Michigan. He told a strange story, of
which the following is the substance:
Some weeks since, while at home in
Michigan, he retired to rest after hard
days work, and falling asleep dreameda
dream. He appeared to have taken a
long Journey from "home," where he
had been located for ten years, and had
scarcely lost sight Of, and where he had
lived "a happy old bach," and never
thought of matrimony.
In that dream O vision appeared unto
him. He arrived at place in ohio,
which was called Fremont. 1t appeared
that soon after his arrival in that place,
he formed the acquaintance of young
lady, and that, after-a short but happy
courtship, he married her apd returned
to his home in Michigan, where he be-
came wealthy, lived happily, and raised
numerous family of children, and in
time trotted his grandchildren upon his
knee. He then awoke; it was broad
daylight, and his mother was at his door
calling him down to breakfast.
At the breakfast table he related his
dream to the old lady, and she was deep
ly impressed with ii. He told her Ii was
his intention to at once seek out the
beautiful creature of whom he had
dreamed, anu the old lady, believing
there was q special providence in it, and
being also firm believer in dreams,
advised him by all means to go and find
her if he could, and If he couldn't find
her to bring back an Ohio girl any way,
''for you know" said she, "the Ohio
girls are right smart" SoJohn packed
up his little wardrobe and took the first
train out for Ohio, and lost no time in
reaching Fremont.
When he arrived at the place ho Was
surprised to discover that the sign at the
depot, containing the name of the place
was an exact duplicate of the one he
had seen in his dream, and that the
depot buildings and the general appear
ance of the city corresponded exactly
with his vision. He put up at the Kep-
Ter House and began his search. For
two or three days he was unsuccessful,
but finally, just before he was on the
point of returning home he came face to
face with maiden at tho post Office
"pTis She" said he, all to himself, and
then he walked up manfully and told
her his story; his dream, and of his place
in Michigan, and frankly asked her to
share his lot with him.
She said something about It's being
sudden; she would rather walt q few
days before giving an answer; but he
