A MOST MYSTERIOUS VISION.
An Uncanny Dream In Which Major An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.

An Uneanny Dream In Which Major AM
dre's Fate Was Depicted.
The following instance may serve to
strikingly justify Colquhonn's theory
that there is an original spiritual ener
gy expressed in dreams which has moth
ing to do with the state Of the body and
is beyond the power of the soul when it
has been reabsorbed by the material or
ganization on awaking.
Prior to his embarkation for America
at the outbreak of the Revolutionary
war Major Andre went to visit a friend,
Miss Rebecca Steward, who lived in
Derbyshire. During his stay it was ar
ranged that they should ride over to
view the wonders of the famous Peak.
1t was also Miss Steward S desire to in
troduce the major to some friends in the
neighborhood, including Mr.. Newton
and the curate of the parish, Mr.. Gun
bingham. She had given both these gen
tlemen notice Of her intention, and
while awaiting her arrival Mr.. Gun
ningham took occasion 10 tell Mr.. New
ton the circumstances of a dream he
had had the night before, which affect
ed him so that he could not shake off
the recollection of it.
He said that he was standing in the
midst of forest that was entirely
strange to him. After gazing listlessly
around him for few moments he per-
ceived a horseman approaching at great
speed As the latter came opposite the
spot where the dreamer stood three men
who seemed to have been lying in am
bush sprang from their place of CON
cealment, and Selling the bride of the
horse ordered the rider to dismount.
They then carefully searched his person
aud led him away. The face, figure
and bearing of the horseman made SO
deep an impression upon Mr.. Cunning
ham S mind that he awoke, but falling
asleep again presently dreamed that he
was one of throng of spectators near
great city; that he saw the same per
son he had seen seized in the wood
brought out between files of soldiers,
who marched him to gallows and
there hanged him. When Major Andre
and Miss Steward arrived, Mr.. Cunning
ham WAS horror struck to discover in
the person OF Miss Steward $ friend the
very man whose seizure and execution
he had witnessed in his dream.
Here WAS an accurate anticipation of
events that actually happened within
- months from the date of the dream.
The capture of Andre, the search of his
person for documents that convicted
him for acting the part of a spy and his
public execution constitute one of the
most dramatic episodes of the contest
with the mother county. How is it
imaginable that SO definite IA vision of
coming events could arise from the in
fuence of any physical condition ON the
mind of the sleeper? What possible
state of the body could confer upon the
soul the power to describe future occur
rences with such exact fidelity to de
tails?-New York Times.

That has been effected in years and for
Wnlch the Bulletin can Vouch, has just
come to light through the agency of Dr.
Potters Rheumatic Pills. Thomas Bren-
nan, well known stone cutter of long
standing, is the fortunate victim of this
wonderful cure. A Bulletin man called al
the home of Mr.. Brennan, 32 Barber street
ana found him only too willing to talk
over his almost miraculous cure. Early
In life he learned the stone cutters trade
at which he has worked for the past
thirty years. The exposure and dampneSs
necessary in his work, soon brought on
an attack of rheumatism which dated
back twenty eight years, at intervals
ever since. Especially during winters and
springs of each year he has been pa
tient sufferer, the disease growing more
acute with each succeeding year, until
ten years ago he was taken with most
violent attack of an inflammatory ma
ture, which confined him to the house
that season. Preceding this attack, ev-
cry known remedy that was on the mar
ket had been tried, but without effect
The best local MEDICAL attendance and
specialists had been called in, but each
succeeding year the pains grew more
acute and painful, until last winter when
he was attacked again he was SO thor
oughly prostrated that he had to remain
in his bed during the entire winter and
could only leave when assisted by men,
bers of his family. He was helpless to
do anything for himself, and his food had
to be fed to him like a child. Reading in
the Bulletin of the remarkable cure OF

was also a sufferer from inflammatory
rheumatism and had been cured by the
use of few boxes of DIR. Potter's Rheu.
matte Pills, Mr.. Brennan sent to the drug.

once. The rest of the story is told in q

now, after less than months use, able
to go about the house and walk without
the use of crutch or cane-hale, hearty
and vigorous, perfect picture of manly
vigor.

porter, he said: l cannot say too much

played an intensely interesting game
of foot ball on the saltwater grounds
yesterday afternoon. The latter won
by the score of s to 0.
The visitors scored touchdown in
each half of the game, but it required
herculean efforts on their part to do
so. Both touchdowns were scored by
Robinson, who failed each time to kick
goal.
The features of the game were the
superior work of Brown, of the Rush
