THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD PA. AUGUST IA, 1877

arrival in that place he formed the ac-
quaintance of young lady, and that
after short but happy courtship, he
married her and returned to his home
in Michigan, where he became wealthy,
lived happily, and raised numerous
family of children, and In time trotted
his grandchildren on his knee. He then
awoke; 1t was broad daylight, and his
mother was at the door calling him down
to breakfast. At the breakfast table he
related his dream to the old lady, and
she was deeply impressed by 1t. He told
her 1t was his intention to at once seek
out the beautiful creature of whom he
dreamed and the old lady believing there
was special Providence in 1t, and being
also firm believer in dreams, advised
him by all means to go and find her If
he could, and If he couldn't find her to
bring back an Ohio girl anyway, :" for
you know" said she, "the Ohio girls
are quite smart"
So John packed up his little wardrobe
and took the first train out for Ohio and
lost no time in reaching Fremont. When
he arrived at that place he was surprised
to discover that the sign at the depot,
containing the name of the place, was
the exact duplicate of the one he had
seen in his dream, and that the depot
building and general appearance of the
city corresponded exactly with his Wis
ion. He put up at the Helper house and
began his search. For two or three days
he was unsuccessful, but finally, just be-
fore he was on the point of returning
home, he came face to face with q maid
en- at the post office. "'Tis she," said
he, all to himself, then he walked up
manfully 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 its be-
ing sudden; she would rather wait q
few days before giving an answer; but
he was determined to have it there and
then, and she finally said she was all his
own. He accompanied her to her home,
and that evening he told her fond par
ents all about it. And they pronounced
it good.
The day following they were married
and they commenced their journey
Michiganward. The man was fine
looking fellow, and so happy that he
could scarcely contain himself. He pro-
tested roundly that it was the woman he
saw in his dream, and that he had met
and married, and that all from first to
last, had been exactly as pictured in his
dream. The lady was pleasant appear
ing, comely looking lady, few years
younger than the man, and seemed tC
be brim full of fun and to enjoy the nov
city of the thing fully as much as hel
husband. Take them all in all, they
were well matched, and were doubtless
made for each other. He said only one
thing was lacking to makehis happiness
complete, and that was the fulfilment o.
the latter part of his dream. This is one
of the most strange matrimonial affairs
we have ever seen or read of, and doub
if its equal has ever been in print. i
is proof that dreams ofttimes foreshad
ow coming events. We often hear O
men dreaming of sudden deaths, ant
dying; but we do not know of casC
where the incidents and characters wer,
depicted and fulfilled as in the present
instance. If there is a parallel case on
record we should like to hear it.
