A strange Dream.

One night, recently, Newport
woman awakened her husband by a
hearty laugh, in her sleep. The hus-
band did not interrupt her merry
dream, but when she awoke next
morning, he wanted to know what
the fun was. She said she had
dreamed that one of Newports min
listers "a young divine) had grass
growing out of one side of his head
and large tomato stalk was spread
ing its branches out of the other side,
therefore furnishing much food for
laughter to her. This eccentric
dream was the outcome of an oyster
supper before retiring.
