THE PROPHECIES OF NIGHT
Strange Dreams That Foretold Coming
Events.
SPIRITS LAID AT REST
Money Saved and Lives Prolonged by
Listening to Their Noiseless
Warnings.

a most remarkable case OF cream
coming true is told by Thomas j. N.
Stewart, colored painter living at 1889
Franklin avenue, Columbus, 0. The
story as related by Mr.. Stewart is con-
irmed by his friends, who assisted him
in carrying out the hint in his wonder
full dream. He was seen last night by a
Herald reporter, to whom he related
the following story:
Some time ago l was bereaved in the
loss of my wife, and following the sad
event have been thinking about her
all the time, day and night. 1t has
preyed on my mind all the
time, and affected my sleep so
much that l have one dream
after another about her. One
night had strange dream about her,
as usual. I thought / saw her in the
grave in her coffin. She seemed to me
to be just as she was in life, and could
hardly think she was really dead There
was one thing about her different from
her conduct in life, and that was her
distress about something. heard her
familiar voice calling to me very dis
tinctly, and plainly heard her say:
Thomas, get me out of water. Pm all
wet" Then l woke up very much dis
treSsed over the vision. After while
l again went to sleep, and to my sur
prise, the same picture of my wife
came to my view again. l saw
her as before and with the same
expression of distress on her face. She
cried out to me just as she did before
and said the same things. Again l
woke up and felt very badly. This con-
tinued all night long. One dream of
that kind followed another, and in the
morning / was broken up by the visions
of the night.
With party of friends we went out
and had the grave opened. When we
reached the coffin the meaning of the
dream was revealed to us. The ground
about it was wet and soggy, and beneath
the box was bed of water. On open
ing the lid we found the coffin full of
water and the body of my wife floating
on the same. We at once remedied the
trouble and returned home, and from
that time on l have experienced no
further viSitations at night.-Oolumbus
Dispatch.
A DREAM SAVES HIS LIFE.
A man by the name of Joe Williams
had told dream to his fellow-soldiers,
some of whom related 1t to me months
previous W bIG OCCuIICilCc WillCll IC-
late. He dreamed that he crossed a
river, marched over a mountain and
camped near church located in wood,
near which terrible battle ensued, and
in charge, just as he crossed ravlne,
he was shot in the heart. On the ever
memorable 7th of December, 1861 (battle
of Prairie Grove, Northern ArkanSaS),
as we moved at double-quick to take
our place in line of battle, then already
hotly engage, we passed church, a
small frame building. / was riding i'm
the flank of the command, opposite
Williams, as we came in view of the
house. "That is the church l saw in
my Dream" said he. made no reply
and never thought of it until evening. |
We had broken the enemy's lines and |
were in full pursuit when we came to |
dry ravine in the wood, and Williams |
said:
"Just on the other side of the ravine |
/ was shot in my dream, and Pll stick |
my hat under my shirt" Suiting the !
action to the word he doubled up his |
hat as he ran along and crammed it into |
his bosom. Scarcely had he adjusted |
it when minnie ball knocked him out |
of line. Jumping up quickly, he |
pulled out his hat and waved it over his |
head. shouting: ''l'm all right" The |
ball raised black spot about the size of |
a mans hand just over the heart and |
dropped into his bOOts.-Hal's journal

been diligently securing the woods and
examining the ponds in the vicinity

he sought his intimate friend and
brother-in-law, MIR. Bowman Myers,

little stream from a directly contrary
direction from Call's home, and under
the old country road stone bridge, so old
