strange Dream ana UcfoiinY.

one of the happiest men that ever
journeyed hundred miles from Mich
igan, took the Toledo express on Sat
urday, at Fremont, bound for Toledo
and his home i'm Michigan. He told II
strange story, of which the following is
the substance
Some weeks since, while at home in
Michigan, he retired to rest after Il hard
days work, and falling asleep, dreamed
dream. He appeared to have taken Il
long Journey from "home," where he
had been located for years, and had
scarcely lost sight of, and where he had
lived "a happy old batch,' and never
thought of matrimony.
In that dream 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 II young
lady, and that, after short but happy
c0urtship, he married her and returned
to his home in Michigan, where he be-
came wealthy, lived happily, and raised
Il numerous family of children, and in
time trottcd his grandchildren upon his
knee. He then awolle; it was broad
daylight, and his mother was at his
door calling him down to breakfast.
At the breakfast table he related his
uItullt W VIC oi't stilN 'iit wv =
w impressed with it. He told her it
was his intention to atoncc seek out the
beautiful creature of whom he had
dreamed, and the old lady, believing
there was a special providence in it,
and being also a 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" So John packed
up his little wardrobe and took the
first train out for Ohio, and lost no time
in reaching Fremont.
When he arrived at that place he 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 general APP
pearance of the city correspondent eX-
actly with his vision. He put up at the
Kepler House and began his search.
For two or three days he was unsuccess-
full, but finally, just before he was on
the point of returning home, he came
face to face with n maiden at the post
Office. "'Tis she" said he, all to HIM
self, and then he walked up manfully
his place in Michigan and frankly
asked her to share his lot with him.
She said something about its being
sudden; she would rather wait few
days before giving an answer; but he
was determined to have it there and
then, and she finally said she was all
his own. He accompanied her to her
home, and that evening he told her fond
parents all about it. And they pro-
nounced it good. The day following
they were married, and at once COM
menced their journey Michiganward.
The man was Il fine looking fellow,
and so happy that he could scarcely con-
tain himself. He protested roundly
that it was the woman he saw in his
dream that he had met and married,
and that all, from first to last, had been
exactly as he pictured in his dream.
The lady was a pleasing appearing, COM
Unlocking lady, few years younger
than the man, and seemed to be brim
full of fun and to enjoy the novelty OF
the thing fully as much as her husband
Take them, all in all, they were well
matched and were doubtless made fol
each other. He said only one thing was
lacking to make his happiness com
plete, and that was the fulfillment OF
the latter part of his dream Ciereiond
