What a wonderful climate we have
The firsi part of last week men were go.

bic IL not always pleasant occupation to

1t is thought that the new two cent
postal cards will be ready in the course
of week. Their convenience can hard
ly be over estimated, especially among
business men. 1t may not be generally
known that the card is SO arranged that
one portion of it can be used by the sender
and the other by parties to whom it may
be sent, FOR an answer. This will do
away with present custom in many cases
OF writing letter and enclosing a stamp
for reply, which causes many people no
inconsiderable expense and trouble.
Horace Wedge. of Long Hill, had a
very singular experience last week, and
one that will bear putting on record. He
went out shooting on Monday with r. c.
Toucey of the same place, and returned
at night after tramp covering several
miles of ground. After his return home
he put his handin his pocket for his watch
and found II was missing. He then re-
membered that at Stepeny Depot earlier
in the day, both he and his companion
had pulled out their watches and COM
pared them with the depot clock, but this
was worth nothing as all indication for
finding the lost property, as they had
tramped weary round since then. That
or the following night he dreamed that
he saw his watch lying near beach tree
in a run east of Long Hill, Where they
had killed couple of birds, and so vivid
was the dream that the following day he
resolved to so and take a look for the
watch. He found the tree he saw in his
dream without difficulty, and lying near
1t just as he pictured in his dream he
found the missing watch, safe and com
Portable. These are facts as related to
us, and IL true, which we have no reason
to doubt, it is but one more fact added
to the long list which shows the remark
able manner in which the mind some
times acts while the body and the ordi-
nary senses are wrapped in slumber.-
