Hght. and were related TO q LcTdCr re.
porter Yesterday. The gentleman with
whom the reporter converscd is q
prominent resident on the West Side.
The first story is the case of a woman
who lived in n small hamlet few miles
from this city. The family. whose
name is Johnston, consisted OF husband,
wife and two sons. On awakening one
morning Mrs. Johnston told her hus-
band that she had had a terrible dream
during the night, in which she .aw her
two sons drowned She felt confident
that the dream foreboded no good, and
insisted that it would come true. Her
husband only laughed at her, and said
that if she dreamed of a funeral she
might expect wedding. His efforts
to quiet her feelings of alarm were
without avail, and for some time she
was threatened with serious fit OF
sickness. About two weeks after this
occurrence, Saturday morning, Mr.
Johnston told his wife that it would be
impossible for him to 90 TO Cleveland
20 market that day, as he thought it
vas going to rain, and he wanted to get
all his hay in the barn by night time.
"Let the two boys 90" he said; Il
will vouch that they can do the business
Iust as well as l, and will return all
right "No, john Mrs. Johnston
answered, 81 cannot let the boys GO
Il should like to know your reason for
not wanting them to do so, - replied the
somewhat irate husband. "It is moth
ing; only my dream, answered the
wife.
