a lady dreamt that an aged female
relative had been murdered by a black
servant, and this dream was repeated
SO often that she repaired 10 the old lady's
house, and set a gentleman to watch
in the night. About o'clock in the
morning the black servant was discov-

The case of the gentleman from Corn
wall who dreamt eight days before the
event that he saw Mr.. Perceyal muir
dered in the lobby of the House Of Com
mons by Bellingham, and distinctly
recognized from prints, after the muir
der, both the assassin and his victim,
whom he had never seen previously,
seems capable only Of a supernatural
explanation, especially when it IS re-
membered that the gentleman was with
difficulty dissnaded by his friends from
going to London to warn Mr. PercevaI
known to him in his dream as Chancel-
lor Of the Exchequer). He urged that
1T had occurred three times in the same
night, but his friends thinking it a FOOLS
errand he allowed the matter to drop
till the news of the murder rudely re-
suscitated it.
A gentleman from Yorkshire formed
of 1862. \ few days before leaving for
London, he had most vivid dream of
the Tower, the armory, and more es-
pecially thereon III which the regalia and
crown jewels are kept. He heard the
old woman who showed the room adj
dress the audience, and treasured up
carefully her very peculiarities of voice,
dress, manner and features, and created
considerable amusement among his
friends by mimickIng the phantom show
woman when he awoke. He went to
London at the proper time, and ofcourse
visited the Tower, where he was as
founded and somewhat sobered by the
panthom's counterpart, which was iden-
teal in every respect.
Several years ago the newspapers were
filed with details of horrible murder,
of which the facts, related from memory,
seem to be these Mrs. Martin, the
wife of a farmer, was in terrible distress
of mind because her daughter Maria
was missing. 1t was feared she had
been murdered by her sweetheart in q
fit of jealousy and hidden somewhere.
For a long time no trace of the body
could be found. At lenght the mother
had a dream, in which it was revealed
to her that the corpse of her child was
buried under the barn floor. This proved
ell to be the case, the body was recover
ed, and the murderer detected. The
mother of medical student dreamt that
her son had got into some serious trOu-
BILE in London, and could nOtrest till she
left her home in the midland counties
and sought him out. To her sorrow
the dream was painfully verified, and
the consequences might have been
serious if she had not arrived in time.
A barrister of great penetration re-
lates the story Of lady who dreamt
that railroad guard was killed in a
collision. She described the man and
circumstances so faithfully that there
was no difficulty in identifying the
guard (who was actually killed the same
night in a lamentable accident as the
man she saw in the dream. The lady !
rarely left home, and the guard was
quite unknown to her Arch-deacon |

he thinks cannot be explained by nat |
ural causes. Sitting by the fire one
stormy November night in a hotel par

very features of the persons, and their
looks of agonizing despair. He awoke,
but shortly after fell asleep again, and
dreamt precisely the same thing. Be
ing now impressed with the truth of
the story, he told it to an old hunter
shortly afterward, who declared that he
knew the spot which exactly answered
to his description. This decided him,
and taking company of men, with
mules, blankets, ETC., they hurried to
the Carson Valley Pass, 80 miles dis

in exactly the condition of the dream
