was James HI. Phelps, Smiths brother
in-law. Several days previous he dream
ed that he went QUITO the barn, to look
for Serene, and John Housed, Serene s
hired man. followed him; that he took
up fork and began to dig in the ma
nure pile; he had dug only a short time
when he came on the body, lying on its
face, with its head to the north and the
skull crushed In. On the body being
uncovered John exclaimed, There is
Serene, and he is not dead yet. Mr..
Phelps awoke then, and was soon called
to breakfast. The dream was so vivid
and impressed him SO deeply that he
told it at the breakfast table. But as
it was only a dream, he would not give
way to it. 1t, however, so impressed

after little time thought it was
foolish to give way to dream, and
quit digging. The astonishing fact is
that he dug to within six inches of the
body, and perhaps two or three more
forks-full would have revealed the body,
which was found in all particulars as
seen in the dream, except that the head
was toward the south.
The wounds found on Smiths head
show that he came to his death from
blows which crushed his skull. The ak
that did the deed was also found, the
butt Of which was covered with blood.
Housels overalls and blouse had stains
on them. He says it came from his
bleeding at the nose, which he is SUBJ
ject to. Mrs. S. corroborates this state
ment in regard to his bleeding at the
nose. The Coroner's jury found that
Smith came to his death from blows at
the hands of Housed. He was arrested.

A young girl died in this city day
or two since, quite suddenly, of congest-
i've chills. Word was sent to her par
ents, who live about ten miles from the
city, and her father came to town and
took her body home for interment.-
While here he told the family with
whom she had lived that at two o'clock
of the morning she died, which was
about the hour of her death, he distin Ct
ly heard her call him twice, and he rose
from his bed, but was, of course, disap-
pointed.

Mrs. Patterson of this city, wife Of
Mr.. James Patterson, one of the old he
roes of the Texas revolution, was the
subject of a remarkable visitation last
Monday night which borders on the mar
velous, to say the least. She awoke and
saw lying ON the further side of the bed
what appeared to be a young girl. The
room was light enough for her to distin.
guish the features perfectly, even to the
color of her eyes and HAIR, and she al
once recognized the child as one she
thought much of in Eastern Texas. She
was wide awoke. as she says, and closely
scanned the figure several minutes, wher
she arose, got match. keeping her eye
on the object until she struck a light
when it suddenly vanished. The strang

THE RECENT WATERsPouT IN Colo
RADo.-The Denver news gives the par
ticulars of the remarkable waterspout
near Golden, Col, on the 14th instant,
reported by telegraph, by which two
girls were drowned. 1t says:
'.People residing in the vicinity report
having seen, just above the higher noun
tains, numerous dense clouds, from
which a conical pillar resembling con-
densed vapor was seen to descend, and
almost simultaneously deafening peal
of thunder was heard. Mr.. Jack Vir-
den, wife, and his sister, and Miss Blood,
daughter of Lyman G. Blood, all of
whom resided some five or six miles up
the canon, and had been to Golden, and
were returning home in a double car
riage when the peal of thunder came
and the waterspout dispersed.
Presently violent commotion, with
confusion of sounds, like the tumult of
the elements was heard high up in the
mountains. Then came a tremendous
torrent of water, bearing trees and
boulders, and calculated to astonish and
terrify by its magnitude, force and vio-
lence. The horses seeing that they were
going to be sacrificed to this prodigious
volumes took fright, and shying to one
side, upset the carriage, and the occu
pants were pitched into the bottom Of
the gulch In an instant, as it were
and before they could recover their feet
the wave, with perpendicular breast Of
ten or twelve feet, was upon them, and
licked them up like the sands of the
