ACCIDENT TO A SOMNAMBULIST.
"La Soxnanbola' has been acted in real life—although with variations—by a young lady aged twenty-two, who lives at Montreuil, in the eastern extremity of Paris. At three o'clock on Tuesday morning the damsel arose in her sleep from her couch, took a sheet and fastened it with the utmost care to her window, which lnekily for her was only two stories high. Then she climbed out and practised gymnastics ; but the sheet only touched the first storey, so when she had slid to the end of it she fell heavily on the pavement. The fall woke her up and caused her to cry out, which brought a policeman to her rescue. The somnambulistic damsel had received contusions on the head and legs which necessitated her removal to the hospital.
