FATAL EFFECTS FROM CHARCOAL.--A young
man, named Ajalbert, working as a journeyman at a
cooper's in the Rue des Marais, Faubourg du Temple,
Paris, had on several occasions, when in a state of som-
nambulism, been known to get up during the night and
employ himself about his room. Having obtained leave
from his master to pay a visit to his friends in the
country, Sunday was appointed for bis departure. On
Saturday night, his mind being probably occupied with
, the next day's journey, he got up in his sleep and lit the
stove in the room with charcoal, and then returned to
his bed. Two apprentices who slept in the room were
soon awoke by the overpowering vapour. The elder
one endeavoured to save the other by dragging
him out
of the room, but, wanting force to execute his pur-
pose, ho fell on the floor with his companion. The next
morning, the master finding that Ajalbert did not come
l
down early, as he had intended, went up stairs to call
him. On entering the room, he was horror-struck at
his
the sight which presented itself. Ajalbert lay on
bed already dead, whilst the two lads. who, from being
on the floor, had been probably less affected
b dangerous

to the hospital St.
