a DREAM.-The other day, man
from the country came to town in haste,
and calling at the post-office, said that
on the afternoon OF the previous day he
had been to town and dropped a letter
in the post-office. but that during the
night he had dreamed that he had writ
ten the name of the post-office, County
and State on the envelope, but had omit
ted the name of the person for whom il
was intended; and the dream so wor-
ried him that he had come to town to
look into the matter. AS no mail had
been sent off in the meantime, the letter
box was overhauled, and sure enough
there was his letter, exactly as he had
dreamed, with all the direction on the
back except the name of the person fol-
whom it was intended White Cloud

y large scope ofprairie east of Allen
creek burned over last Monday, and it
was only by the settlers quitting their
work and fighting the fire that the de-
struction of fences and other property
upon the farms in the Ernst settlement
was prevented. But little pains has
been taken anywhere to guard against

much damage being done this fall.
There is nothing to prevent fire from
approaching town from the northwest
and endangering the buildings in the
north part of the village.
