Mr. Robertson, Malt Agent en & G.

item -about a farmer who prereeted. a terrible
disaster on that road, near Mansfield, Ohio,
atthe time of the- recent freshet- We had
befere seen Ma . paragraph _relating - to the
singular affair. Mr. R. conversed with -the
farmer, and here is the story. in shOrt
farmer (a Pennsylvanian) went: to

assistance to the passetigers, ran ta the -door,
and was hastening frail" the house, when his
wife awakened him. He -related his dream
and went tO bed again,- hut slept little more
-
during the night.
Thedream made such an:impression- On his
mind that he hastened to the ehasm_the next
morning to see what condition it was in, but
the road was apparently ail right, although
. the water was pouridg. and surging through-
-the large 'culvert beneath as though it would
-• wash the earth away. On Tuesday eight the
farmer could not rest -for' thinking about his
dream Of the proceeding night, and getting
he procurecf hie lantern and hurried off to
the chasm:
'When arrive4 tberk he found. to bis

leaving nothing but the unsupperted ties and

Short Was the time that by the time the engi-
- neer-was able to hold up, the engine was
within a few feet of the chasm.
The train was large, and was filled with
- persons Who bad -been to a Politicel meeting

all made front s. horrible death: For the
train would have pleased down the fright-
ful precipice, car upon ear, creshing all to
