" The 2d wife of Joshua Lyman, the blacksmith, who lived next south of the old Field Fort, dreamed one night that she would be shot, unless she moved her chair from the corner where she was accustomed to sit, when spinning on the foot wheel. The next morning, after she was seated at her work, the dream came to her mind, and she got up and moved to the opposite corner of the fire place. Presently a bullet entered the house and passed directly where she had been sitting. It seems that her husband had placed an old gun barrel in the forge, which proved to be loaded, and the heat exploded the charge, with the result above named." [Dea. Phin. Field.]
