The Danbury Conn News is respon-
sible for the following spresaonition"
story: Of. s. Olmstead has for years
had business dealings with the late
President Seeley, and had a strong per-
sonal attachment for him. On Sunday
night, the day before the funeral, he
dreamed that he and Mr.. Seeley w ere
standing on a floor which gave away
with them. I'm the struggle to q v
himself he was awakened. The dream
made a strong impression upon him. and
after eating an early breakfast he huf-
ried to the house of his dead friend, and
without disturbing the family found his
way into the cellar. He felt that The
dream might possibly be d warning,
and he wa moved to ex
anime the supports to the floor. He
found that a very large beam which sup
ported the hoor timbers Of the parlol
and a partition wall was cracked. The
crack appeared to be a fresh one, and
a closer examination with a lamp showed
that it was SO large that ones hand could
be placed in il. Mr. Olmstead im1nedi
ately got two h~eayy.posts, and in 4 short
time made the timber perfectly safe
This timber Is thirty feet long, aud had
no supporting posts. Its great size
was supposed to be sufficient to sustain
the weight npon Il Ia the rarlor a5oG
rested Mr.. Seeley's remains. A few
hours later the building was filled viii
friends. Had ii not been for the dream
