The bottle referred to was that of Prairie Grove, inl North west Arkansas, fought December 7, '1802: A curious fulfillment of a drean oc curred at tho battlo under my own eye. A uan by the name 'of Joe Williams had told a dream to many of his fello%V. soldiors, some of' whom had related it to me months previous to'the occurrence which I now relate : - Ho leanod that ive rossed a ri'ver, m1arcled over a mountiniii and camped Uear a church located in a wood, near which a torrible battle eiisuid, and in a enarge, just as we crossed the ravine, ho was shot in the breast.

Suiting tle action to the word ts Ie ran I,long, lie doubled it up and cr,mmed it in his bosom-scarcely had he a listed it before a mihnie ball kiocked h111n out of tle line. Jumping ip quickly, he ImIled out his hat, waved it. over his head, and shoued, "I'm all - lue ball id gone through iur thicknuieues ot I: hal, riaised t black Spot about ie siZe-of a man's hand just Over hIs heart, aid dropped into Iis Show, \OmNDi-1I. .A uV (r A Do(J.-A fo v nights ago Mr. villiams, lwho rv sitevs u\ vs[ (A Sprinlgfield, let a neighbo-, Mt!; 1'oltl, have I'.ho use, of, his dlog to ia,ssist andt pr(Avel. l111m from thle Chicken thieves.
