FOWLS CLOVEN ALIVE—AN OLD REMEDY IN
EXTREMIS.—The Essex Herald tells us of a deed of " su-
perstition and cruelty" just perpetrated in its neighbour-
hood. " A young man, not far from this town (Chelms-
ford) was last week in the agonies of death, when his father
was induced to try the powers of a potent spell, which he
was assured would restore the dying man to health and
vigour. He accordingly procured a live pigeon, split it
suddenly down the middle of the body with a sharp knife,
and applied the severed parts, still moving with life, to the
soles of the feet of the dying patient, fully expecting to
behold its instantaneous relief. The son, however, was a
corpse a short time after." About two centuries ago the
"superstitious and cruel" remedy here mentioned would
have been looked upon as a matter of course. It was one
of the many remedies tried in the last illness of Prince
Henry, the son of James the First. " A cock cloven by
the back" was applied to the soles of the Prince's feet,
with the consent and advice of the eminent medical men ;
but the Royal patient died on the second day after.—
Medical Gazelle.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM.
About five o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last, the
body of a man was found lying in Roxburgh-street, nearly
opposite the butcher market, with one or two severe wounds
on the back part of the head, from which a large quantity
of blood had flowed. The body which, when found, was
stiff and cold, was carried into an adjoining house ; and
information having been given to the authorities, a precog-
nition of the circumstances attending his death was taken
by the Sheriff-Substitute of the county in the course of the
day, when the following facts came out in evidence
appeared that the deceased, whose name was John Gil-
holme, residing in Wooler, was a waggoner in the employ-
ment of Messrs. Howie and Co., and had the preceding
eveniflgarrived in Kelso in charge of his employers' wag-
gon. At an early hour he retired to bed in his usual
quarters, Mr. Charles Gow's, innkeeper, desiring Mr. Gow
to arouse him at five o'clock next morning. Accordingly
Mr. Gow went to his bedroom at that hour, and was sur-
prised to find it uncccupied. After unsuccessfully search-
ing the greater part of the house, Mr. Gow proceeded to
the stables, supposing that Gilhlome had awoke and gone
to look after his horses. Not finding him there, he next
went to the house of Robert Purves, porter to Messrs.
Howie and Co., to inquire after him ; and on his way
back to his own house was told by some people whom
he met, that a man had been found dead on the
street. A suspicion of the truth then flashed upon
Mr. Gow's mind, which was confirmed by observing the
window of a front room on the third flat standing open.
On an examination of the apartment in which Gilholmc
had slept., Mr. Gow found that he had put on all his clothes
with the exception of his shoes and gaiters, which were
left lying in the bed. From this apartment he had pro-
ceeded to a front sitting-room, and piled together the diffe-
rent articles of furniture in it, probably conceiving himself
engaged in loading his waggon. This task completed, he
appears to have supposed himself setting out on his journey,
and thrown open the window, from which he was precipi-
tated into the street. The height from which the unfortu-
nate man bad fallen, and the fact of his having alighted
on his head, must have caused instantaneous death. Some
of the witnesses who had been acquainted with the de-
erased, stated that he had been in the habit of walking in
his sleep, a statement -subsequently confirmed by members
of his own family. From the evidence of a woman who,
with her family, had come as passengers by his waggon, and
slept in an apartment adjoining that occupied by Gilholme, it
appeared that slig had been much disturbed during the
early part of the night by the noise which he made, as if in
speaking to his horses. At length this noise ceased, and
she slept undisturbed fnr the remainder of the night. Gil-
holme, who was fifty-file years of age, had, for a period of
about thirty years, travelled upon the road, and was a re-
markably sober and steady man. We understand that he
has left a widow and a family of five children, all of whom
are grown up.—Kelso Mail.
