DREAM FINDS MAN 

FROZEN TO DEATH 

George Terpening, a middle-aged farmer living on Barton Hill west of Quaker Street, was found frozen in a snow bank on Friday of last week, after an absence from home of at least a week. 

On Saturday, Feb. 17th, he left home to visit friends with whom he was in the habit of spending a few days at a time. When he did not return inquiry was started and it was found that he was last seen when he called on Saturday at the home of Carl Bullock, and had not reached his destination. 

After leaving the Bullock farm Mr. Terpening must have taken to the highway in place of through the fields, fallen in the snow and either from exhaustion or heart failure been unable to go farther. 

At this part of the highway the farmers have driven through the fields to avoid the snow drifts, and in consequence Terpening’s body was not discovered until last Friday. 

The story of the search for him took a mystic turn when, it is said, a relative related a dream that showed the absent man to be in a snow drift frozen to death. This led to his body being found in the highway. 

ALTAMONT CHURCH
ELECTS NEW PASTOR
A congregational meeting was held at the Reformed church on Sunday, February 25th, during the 10:30 o’clock service. 

The meeting opened with the usual church program, after which David H. Dyer, president of the Consistory, presided and introduced the object of the meeting. John D. Ogsbury, clerk, read a letter of delineation from Rev. H. C. Willoughby, reducing the number from three to two, namely: Roscoe Mott Giles, jr., student at the New Brunswick Theological seminary, and J. Harold Thomson of Princeton Theological seminary. Printed ballots were used and after the vote was counted it was found that Mr. Giles was elected. On motion his election was made unanimous. 

In a letter dated February 28th, Mr. Giles expresses his great pleasure at the outcome and states that he expects to visit Altamont for the week end and will preach on Sunday, March 11th at both services. At that time he would be pleased to meet and become acquainted with all the people of the church.
