A Remarkable Occurrence.

Speaking of dreams and visions,
the Greensboro Record says:
But sometimes very astonishing
things are revealed in another
way. The following incident is
absolutely true and can be proven
by the best of evidence, long ago
as it occurred. One of the best
known women in Greensboro had
a brother to 90 to Missouri before
the war, perhaps IN 1858 II 80.
He was a handsome fellow and
would not brook an insult, fighting
at the drop of a hat. though he
was a gentlemen and not quarrel
some. One day this lady was sit
ting in her room sewing; it was
about II o'clock in the forenoon ;
suddenly she hnrst into a flood of
tears. crying as If her heart would
break. Her husband was finally
sent for and it was a long time be-
fore he could get her to tell him
the cause of her grief. She said
he would laugh at her, and he did,
but it did not shake her III the
least. She said while sitting at
her work she saw her brother and
another nan clinch in a fight;
others interfered and separated
them az her brother turned to
walk off, the other man suddenly
drew a pistol and shot him in the
back, killing him instantly.
All efforts to convince her that
it was a freak Of Imagination
proved futile. There was no tele.
graph In those days, but in due
time n letter came and it told the
story just as the woman saw il
and related it, ever to the hour of
the day.
What was it, how was it this
information was carried to the wo.
man? Solve it, if you can, but the
story is absolutely true.
