Ffnlayson, one of our most respected far
mers; whose word is as good as his bond,
who, in the course of conversation, related
the following dream, remarkable because
it proved to be true. Without any further
preliminary remarks we proceed to tell the
ago, Mr.. Thomas Kay, one of the proprie-
tors of the Brownsville Woolen Mills, re-
turning from Portlan6 to his home in
Brownsville. stopped over night at Mf.
Fin1ayson's, as they are old acquaintance
and friends. In the morning Mr.. Kay re-
o'ls dream last night. ami l must hurry
home as ain afr.iid it's tr1le.'' e.Yt.s:
what was the purport of your dream.
ssketl MIR. 4. II dreamed, >. said Mr.
Kay, :. that my cow lr,si given birth to
-s,~in calves, aral must hurry home to see
1boatit for am convinced it's true.', Soon
after aIr. Kay departed for Brownsville.
Nearing his home. he met an acquaintance,
who said: Good inorhing, Mr.. X. What
10 you thinks has happcncd:'' Mr.. Kay
answered that Inc didn't know. .'Well,"
s;aitl the neighbor, last night your COW
gave birth to twin Calves There re-
marked Mr.. Kay, ''siapping his hand down
Oh his leg. Il knew it; dreamed she had
last night. - =. On arriving at home. Mr..
Kay proceeded TO the enclosure where the
COW was kept, and there, sure enough. was
the COW with her twin calves beside her,
precisely, as Mr.. Kay declares. as he saw
them III his dream. standing ia the particl,-
lar portion of the lot and each occupying
exactly the position they did at that time.
If we could l,aSe.eany assurance that we
w.Hid I've favored with just such dreams,
and that they would turn ont similarly, we
should at once tlrol, the pen, stick and rule
and go right away into the stock business.
Mr.. Kay is Il lucky dreamer.
HARvEsTERS, ETC.-Our old friend john
ISatenlan, who resides near Brownsville,
dropped in u moment to-day to have Il
little chat and renew his subscription to
the REGISTER. Mr.. Batenan has some
| thing like eight hundred and lightweight
| acres of land, which he describes rs +'toier-
| able good. lie informed us that he was
season than ever. and WAS here after new
machinery ia the way of header, etc.
with which TO get away with tile expected
! hinge crops. The increased acreage of
/ grain this season is compelling our farmers
| to invest more generally in headers and
thrcslcrs, as ole header can not accomnIo-
| ,late whole neigi.borliotNl as in former
l
chimes generally, purchased by farmers of
| Linn this season, will probably double the
number heretofore owned i'll the county.

ont TO his brotler-il1-iaw's. Mr.. Denny,
| near Lebanon, a tlay or two since. where
he was taken with typhoid fever. lie
complains OF feeling no particular piiii
but has been gradually sinking ever since

have the satisfaction of knowing that he is
/ receiving the very best of nursing, and is

successful physicians in the State. DIR. Bal

Being "a lone orplting'' these days. we
are improving the opportunity to get ac-
q,aintetl with our neiglbors. With this
commeiElahe i.lea in view, we dropped
into the st. Charles about noon, where we
tlincd elegantly and III our usual frugal
manner. refusing utterly to eat anything
not mentioned in tile bill of fare. We are
/ 4 little eccentric that way (all great men
are, we find on consulting Zell.s late
works.. and generally refuse to eat more
at one sitting than will do us over three
days.
