One of the happiest men that ever
iourneyed hundred miles from Michi-
gan, took. the Toledo Express on Satur-
day, at Fremont, bound for Toledo and
his home in Michigan. He told strange
story, of which the following is the SUBJ
stance:
Some weeks since, while at home in
Michigan, he retired to rest after hard
days work, and falling asleep dreamed

long journey from "home," where he
had been located tor ten years, and
had scarcely lost sight Of, and where he
had lived "a happy old bach" }" and never
thought Of matrimeny.
In that dream, q vision appeared unto
him. He arrived at o 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 short but happy
courtship, he married her and returned
to his home in Michigan, where he became

dream to the old lady, and she was deep

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
building and general appearance of the
city corresponded exactly with his vision.
He put up at the Kepler House and be-
gan his search. For two or three days
he was unsuccessful, but finally, just be-

asked her to share his last with him.
She said something about its being

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
