A sINGULAR OCCURRENCE.
Lost Money Found Through Dream.


The Paterson, N. j., Guardian tells Gu
rious story of the recovery oil certain missing
money through dream. The points OF the
story are as follows On Monday night last
the foreman of Dexter, Lambert u Co. g
silk mill. Peter Turner, was killed upon the
railroad between Clifton and Lake view,
while returning from picnic at the former
place. It was well known that Mr.. Turner
had been recently paid considerable sum
of money bv his employers, but being man
of rather singular habits be never divnlged
his affairs to any one, and where be had
placed the money was mystery. No one
had the slightest idea where it could be ND
den. A vigorous search through all the
hooks and corners of the house resulted un-
successfully, and it was thought the money
was forever lost, and the poor family retired
TO rest that night sadly anxious for their fu-
ture support, for they had but enough to
keep them from want but short time.
That night neighbor OF the family, and
man who had been well acquainted with MIR:
Turner had singular dream. BE had
heard of the unsuccessful search for the
money, and was probably cogitating upon i
before he went to sleep. Some people would
have declared that they had seen ghost,
but this gentleman does not believe in such
things, and rightly attributes 1t to TO
1
ner, appeared 10 him IN bis dream, and told
him distinctly where could be found enough
of the missing money to supply immediate
demands. The appearance said, by looking
under pile of rubbish in one corner OF the
cellar, the gentleman would find an old
backing box, which, when opened, would
be found to contain one hundred and forty
dollars. The form of the deceased man then
disappeared from the dream scene.
The dreamer was SO impressed with tht
occurrence of the night, that early In tht
morning he secured tho assistance of frient
and together with the widow, they begaf
the search with, it might be said, but littl'
faith that it would amount to anything. II
the corner was, sure enough, pile OF run
, bish This was scraped away and soon Their
rolled out to their astonished vision, an oil
blacklng -box-or rather two backing-bo
covers, closely fastened together. Thes
were forced apart with some difficulty, an
the contents dropped out.
With trembling fingers and grateful heart
,, they counted over the roll Of hills, and ther
wns found to be exactly one hundred an
forty dollars. These facts are fully vonche
for as stated. The man who had the dreai
knew nothing of the whereabouts oil Ii
money before ii was revealed 10 him in h
vision. The name of the dreamer is job
Howarth. The dream occurred on Tuesda
!, night and the money was found on Wedne
y day morning.
J, There is believed 10 be considerable MOI
money secreted somewhere about the hous
J, as but a week or so ago the deceased receive
u over three hundred dollars, which he p
0 away somewhere for safety. But the mo
= scrulinizlng search has failed to discover
l. and 1t is feared 1t can never be found unle
o the dreamist can have another revelati'
:. made to him in his sleep.

A YoUNG LAD SHOOTS LITTLE GIRL-
On Wednesday afternoon last, a sad and
fatal accident occurred in McDonough, re-
sutiug in the death of little girl by the
hands of playmate. The facts of the affair
are nearly as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Asa Wilcox went over to
the Ludlow Pond berryiug, leaving at home
their daughter Garfella, two other children,
and a boy named Merton Holdredge, a
cousin of the first named children we believe.
After playing around some lime and getting
tired, the children entered the house and as
appears. were looking around for something
to play with. The boy Holdredge climbed
up to a high shelf and there found pistol
(single barrel, caftridge) which he took
down and commenced swapping at the chill
dren, not supposing it was loaded. The
little girl it appears was frightened at this
and was trying TO keep ont Of his way, but
in some manner got 10 front of the pistol,
which was discharged, the ball entering her
right breast She stood motlonless for mo-
ment, and then putting her hands 10 her
breast walked out of the house and down
the road quite piece, turned and came back
/ to tine doorstep, the blood marking her foot
steps.
The boy Immediately ran over to the pond
where Mrs. Wilcox was, it being but short
distance, and informed her that he had
scared Garfelia to death. The mother on
going home found her daughter lying on the
doorstep alive, but unable to speak. She
was taken into the house and tenderly cared
for. The father, who knew nothing OF the
occurrence OF the sad affair, came home al
night His feelings can be imagined. She
lived but short time after his arrival, ant
appeared 10 be in great agony before she ex
pired She was eleven years OF age, and il
described as being very interesting ant
amiable child. Her sudden death is hare
blow to the bereaved parents. The boz
Holdrcdge is about fifteen years OF age, ant
deeply regrets the act of his which causet
the death of his little playmate 0rfor

Several weeks ago number Of the young
neople who reside in the neighborhood of
Sayin Hill, in Dorchester, came together,
and on the spur of the moment improvised
jumping match, for small purse, between
Mike Flynn and young man named Muir
phy. In this match Murphy was badly
worsted, whereupon his sister Kate, bright
strong, and sprightly girl OF about twenty
summers, became very indignant, ana gave
out to her companions that she could out
jump Mike Flynn, II her brother could not.
Katie became very earnest in her asseyera.

for a purse of $75, and greatly to the surprise
oil her friends, when the match came oil she
won 1t. -.z4.. g..
This greatly shamed the Flynn jumpist
and his friends, go Miss Kate was challenged
10 another contest, for 5000 a side, which
came off al Savin Hill, Tuesday afternoon.
The affair attracted quite crowd to witness
the sport, not less than four hundred people
being present. Kate made her appearance,
dressed in flowing red flannel drawers, a Ia
Bloomer, with white merino shirt, and
pair of pretty galters, tightly laced to hel
feet. Mr.. Flynn was dressed nearly IN the
same manner. The arrangements being al
completed, the exercises began, Flynn lead

clearing distance of ten feet four and hal
inches. This created great excitement in th
crowd, aud nerved up Katie for something
sill better. The second leap was called fol
when Flynn came up TO the scratch an

very long jump, and the Flynn party le
greatly encouraged. But Katie was agai

confident that she would beat. Carefull
she placed her little gaiter boots on the Lin
