A Dream Singularly Fulfilled.

About one month ago Mr.. James III
Webster, residing with his brother, at
No. 526 West 37th street, New York, re-
lated the following: He dreamed in his
bedroom there was coffin standing
against the bureau, and on the lid of it
was plate, on which was inscribed
James III. Webster, died August 9th,
1871" The dream at the time made no
impression on the family. Mr.. Webster
was taken i'll on the 5th of the month,
and on the 9th, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, he was corpse. When the
undertaken took the coffin into the room,
singular as it may appear, he placed it
against the bureau in precisely the pois
ton as seen by Mr. Webster in his dream

Rowdies Attempt to Stop an Erie Train.

Three roughs entered the Erie Railway
express train No. 2, at Paterson, N. j..
on Saturday night, and offered the con-
ductor fare to Passaic, and were informed
that the train would not stop at any sta
tion between Paterson and Jersey City
On reaching Passaic they pulled the bell
rope three times. When the conductor
reprimanded them, one of them drew a
revolver and threatened to shoot him.
Several passengers interfered and seized
the revolver. One of the miscreants
jumped off after the bell was rung, but
others were taken to Jersey City, where
they were arrested. They gave their
names. James Morgan and John Mona.

County Jail. The importance of the of

that train was closely following No. 2,
aud was liable to crash into it at any in
slant if the latter came to halt at any
irregular time or place.

On Sunday last, owing to the unexpected
demand upon hotel keepers tables and sta
bles combined-an accident occurred at Dutots-
burg which came very near resulting In the
death of four valuable horses. 1t appears
that the first floor of the stables, attached to
what has been heretofore known as the
''Brainard House. was completely filled UP
with horses, and in order to supply the de-
mand, temporary arrangements for feeding
were erected upon the second floor. -Four
horses, which had been engaged in running
an omnibus to and from the camp grounds,
and belonging to a firm at Belvidere Corners,
were taken upon this elevated spot for the
purpose of feeding, when the flooring in
some manner gave way, and three of them
were precipitated to the floor below. In fal-
ling, one of the animals got his limbs fast and
hung suspendece in mid air, when ropes and
pulleys were required to extricate him from
his perilous position. None of the horses
were killed outright.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
one of the animals expired on Sunday night.

THE LOST "WEEHAWKEN."

The Dead Bodies of the Engineers Re
cooercd after Lying Eight Years at
the Bottom the Sea.
d. L. Braine, commander, United
States navy, writes, under date of August
p, as follows
1t will be remembered that the United
States iron clad "Weehawken," com.
manded by the gallant Commodore James
n. Duncan. foundered in Charleston har
Dor, on the 9th of December, 1868. Many
of the officers and crew perished in that
disaster, but the bodies of most of them
were soon recovered and inferred, it is
conjectured, in Charleston or its vicinity
Recently, by the aid of a diving ap.
paratus, four other bodies have been re
covered from the engine room, and will
be sent to New York for interment as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made.
The remains, of course, cannot be
identified at present, but as the following
engineers were reported at the time to be
among the lost it is probable that the re
mains found in the engine room may be
those of the missing engineers. Their
names are George w. McGowan, Henry
w. Merian, Augustus Mitchell and
Charles Spongbergh.
Information is desired by the com.
mandaut of the navy yard, at New York
as to the residence of any of the near
relatives of the deceased engineers, in
order that they may be notified on the
arrival of the remains from Charleston,
in season to be present at the funeral,
which will take place in the chapel of the
Naval Hospital, aud the remains inferred
in the cemetery attached to that institu-
tion

We observe from a circular before us,
that the Trustees of ''The Belyidere Classical
Academy" have elected the Rev. j. Kirby
Davis, of this place, Principal of that Institu.
ton. Mr.. Davis is an educator of more than
usual skill, and we cannot but regret that he
has felt induced to leave us. His school here
was well supported, and his scholars exhibited
such evidences of Improvement as are seldom
met with in scanning the advancement of our
school attending youth. While we cannot
but regret his departure from our midst, we
cannot but congratulate the Belviderians upon
so valuable an acquisition to their list of edu-
Gators. Mr.. d, is also an eloquent Divine.

A Wild Man in Plymouth.

We have it from reliable sources, that
for the last two or three weeks a wild man
has been seen in Plymouth township,
Montgomery county. His hiding place
is at present supposed to be in Mr.. Ralph's
-thicket Near by are three large corn
fields, through which he approaches the
farm houses, during the absence of the
male members, aud begs for food. The
women have seen and conversed with him,
but strange to say he always appears in
the absence of men, no man having seen
him yet, although several hunts have been
made, and watches set for his discovery
He told the women with whom he con
versed, that he could always tell BY in.
stinct whether any male members were
about. His hair reaches half down his
body, aud his clothes are in shreds, his
whole appearance being that of wild or
crazy man. He states that he came from
Ohio, but will give no further answers,
relating to himself. The supposition is
that he is an escaped criminal, and we
understand that the neighborhood will
turn out en- mase for his capture, should
he continue in his present quarters. The
women and children are greatly alarmed
aud the heads of the households fear to
leave their families alone. He has been
at Mr.. Samuel Weidner's house on sever
al occasions, and conversed with the wo
men during Mr.. Weidner's ABSENCE

The Installation of the Rev.

The Installation of the Rev. Geo.
W. Marriott, d. d., as pastor of the
Lutheran Church, in this borough, will take
place on Sabbath morning next. As the
services in connection with this rite are very
impressive, and as they will be conducted on
this occasion, by clergymen eminent in the
Lutheran Church, as well as out of it, the
Church should be crowded at each service.
1t is gratifying to know that the congrega-
ton are well pleased with their Pastor, who
has already taken a most energetic hold upon
his duties, and take lively interest in the
approaching ceremonies.
