city and Marries Her.
From the Cleveland Leader.
One of the happiest men that ever
iUurneyed hundred miles from Michl-
gan took the Toledo express on Saturday
At Fremont, bound for Toledo and his
hone in Michigan. He told strange
story, of which the following is the sub
stance.
Some weeks since, while at home in
Michigan, he retired to rest after a hard
days work and falling asleep, dreamt u
dream. He appeared to have taken u
long Journey from "home," where he had
been located for ten years, and md
,carcely lost sight OF, and where he had
lived "a happy old bach" and never
thought of matrimony, although the
iair MIchigsnders who resided in his
ncighborhood had used their best en-
beavers to induce him to make proposal,
for their hands and hearts which they
were prepared TO accept after the usual
amount OF hesitation. But our friend
was rs blind and oblivloUs TO their ad-
vanCes as u mIser to II charitable petition,
had no more idea of :naLrlmony, 10 Use
his own expression, than II HOttentot
And 50 feeling he tumbled into bed, and
as we said before, WAS soon In the land OF
dreams. In that dream n vision appear
ed unto him. He arrived al place in
ONO which was called Fremont. 1t APP
psared that soon after his arrival in that
place ne formed the acquaintance OF a
Young lady, and that, after short but
happy courtship, he married her and re-
turned to his home in Michigan, where
ne became wealthy, lived happily, and
raised Il numerous family OF children,
and in time trotted his grandchildren up
on his knee He then awOke; 1t WAS
broad daylight, and MS mother was nj
his door calling him down to breakfast
At the breakfast table he related his
dream to the old lady, and she was
deeply impressed by it. He told her it
WAS his intention To at once seek out the
beautiful creature of whom he dresmt,
and the old lady believing there WAS
special providence in it, AMI being also
n firm b, T., yer In dreams, advised him
by all M, an' to go and find her II he
coulc. nd il he couldn't find he to
bring back al Ohio girl any way, for
gu Know" said she, 1.-The ONO girls are
,ute smart So John packed up his
little wardrobe and took the first train
out for Ohio, and lost no time in reach
ing Fremont. When he arrived Mt that
place he WAS surprised to discover that
the sign at the depot, containing the
name of the place, WAS An exact dupll
cate OF the one he had seen In his
dream, and that the depot build
ing and general appearance OF
the city correspondent exactly with his
vision He put up at the hepler House,
and began his search. For two or three
DAYS he was unsuccessful, but finally, just
beiore be was on the point OF returning
home. he came face to lace with maiden
nj the postOtiice. lis she. said he all
t. himself, and then he walked up man
fully and told her his story; his dream,
and OF his place in Michigan, and frankly
asked her to share his lot with him.
She said something about 1t being
sudden; she would rather wait few
WAS determined To have 1t there and
then, and she final y said she was all his
own. lie accompanied her to her home,
and that evening he told her fond parents
all about ii, and they pronounced 1t good.
The day following they were married,
and commenced their journey Michigan
ward. The man was u fine looking tel
low, and so happy that he could scarcely
contain himself He protested roundly
that Il was the woman be saw in his
dream, that he had met and married,
and that MI, from first - last, had beer
exactly rs pictured in his dream. The
lady was pleasing appearing, comely
locking lady, few years younger than
the man, and seemed to be brim full
of fun and to enjoy the novelty OF
the thing fully ~ much as her husband.
Take them all in all, they were well
matched, and were doubtless made tor
each other. He said only one thing was
lacking to make his happiness complete,
and that WAS fuillmcnt Of the latter
psrt OF his dresm. This is one OF the
mos. strange matrimonial affairs we
have ever seen or read OF, and doubt II
its equal has been in print. 1t Is proof
that dreams oltlmes lorcshadow coming
events. We often hear of men dreaming
of sudden deaths and dying; but we do
not know of case where the incidents
and characters were depicted and fulfill
cd ~ in the present instance Ii there Is
n parallel case on record We should Ike
