A BANK ROMANCE.

Many marvellous stories are related OF absence
OF mind. hut an instance OF obnviousness as to
ones bank account, brought 70 light in the court
yesterday, takes precedence IN this class OF mar
rations. P. Lorilard Ronald deposited some
money several years ago in the Mechanics Nation
al Bank.
"Do you know there is SO, $50 to your credit in
the Mechanics National Bank ?" an ex-officlal OF
the bank asked him not long since.
"NO," answered Ronald; You must be mis-
taken. My bank book was balanced long ago."
II am telling you the TRUTH" continued the
ex-of1cial.

CITY RAILROADS AND SNOW PLOUGHS.
John Taylor Johnston, the well known President
OF the New Jersey Central Railroad, whose resi-
dence Is at the corner OF Fifth avenue and Eighth
street. has invoked the courts 70 sec II it Is not
possible In some way to prevent city railroad com.
panies from obstructing sidewalks through throw
ing snow from their tracks on TO the sidewalks BY
means Of snow poughs and sweepers. He has APP
piled i0r an Injunction against the Christopher
and Tenth Street Cr0sstown Railroad Company,
restraining them from 0bstructing the sidewalk
ID r0nt OF his residence In the manner stated.
Tne case came up Tor argument yesterday before
Judge Robinson, In Special Term OF the Court OF
common Pleas. 1t was insisted in the argument
10r the injunction that the system at present in
vogue by the different railroad companies OF
clearing their tracks OF snow Is perfect nuisance;
tnat IL prevents private citizens from keeping
tnelr Sidewalks clear from snow, as required Oy
statute, and that no such abuse OF private rights
was contemplated by the Legislature In their
charters. The defence was that the railroad
tracks must, IN any event. be kept clear OF snow,
IoI tne accommodation OF the public; that this Ia
work OF necessity and canuot be avoided; that
inc present winter has been an unusually severe
one, and that private citizens must expect to put
up with minor grievances, for the better c0nvent
ence OF the public generally.
AZ tne conclusion or the arguments Judge Robin
son TOOK the papers, reserving his decision.

THE HER A L d
TIE Mystery of Dreams.

EDITOR HERALD:-PeOple wonder
and ponder over the mysteries of eter-
nity; and yet, even in this life, there
are things so strange that they seem
equally incomprehensible. Many
times in my life l have had conversa-
tons with friends, in dreams, that
really transpired months afterwards.
Some years ago I had strange dream
that was repeated every night for
more than three months. / paid little
attention to it, for the scene of my
dream was hundreds of miles away
from my home, and | had no idea OF
ever visiting that part of the country.
NV dream was, that | was walking in
an old field talking with lady upon
a certain subject. In walking we
passed by a pile of rocks,-the re-
mains of an old chimney.-whlch
were blackened by smoke, and some
Of them partially overgrown with
grass. In my dream was always
in this field near these rocks and the
and the subject of conversation was
always the same. | had no reason to
believe that the dream was repetl'
ton Of any actual circumstance IN my
life. But, strange as it may appear,
almost two years after this nocturnal
vision had ceased to haunt my sleep,
| was absent among some people |
had never seen, in distant state. On
the third day of my visit | went out
in the afternoon for a stroll with a
lady friend (who was almost stran-
oer), and while walking along she
commenced telling me of some occur
rences that had happened in the neigh
borhood. | had my eyes bent on the
ground. as we chatted and loitered on
the way, when my footsteps were ar
rested by some stones. Lifting my
eyes what was my establishment on
beholding the very pile of blackened
rocks within five PAGES of me, and
the same old field, whose counterpart
| had so clearly seen in my dream!
Sure enough, there was the same old
fence, the same picture in every de-
tail. related to my friend the Curl
Gus dream that made me as well ac-
quainted with this spot, years ago, as
with my fathers door yard. Who
shall say that had not been there in
spirit, at least? quote a stanza from
Upper that expresses some feelings
| have experienced, in very faithful
manner:
Have sc not confessed to a feeling consciousness
strange and vague
That ye have gone this way before. and walk again
your daily life;
Tracking old routine, and some foreign strand
Where bodily ye have never stood, finding your own
footstepli
Hath not at times recent friend looked out an
old familiar,
Some newest circumstance place teemed as with
ancient momoresi
