SOMNAMBULISM.

Many are the singullar cases which have been denied
of persons rising and walking in their sleep; bat nee
are mote remarkable than that of a boy, named Ulm
Young, residing at Middlefield, a small farm new
Kelso; and chiefly from the frequency with which he
indulges in this practice. Scarcely a night pastes
bet the people of the farm-standing hive an oppons,
nity of witnessing some of his motions, which he goes
through with as much activity and precision as she
awake. Sometimes be has been observed making his
way to the stable, and mounting his old and habit!
friend Dobbin, which may not unfrequently be heal
grassing his arrival with a hearty neighing, by way cf
welcome. At another time he may be seen engaged is
driving a cow before him to the field; and once he was
seen riding on the " riggio o' the barn," 'WI%
with the utmost apparent pleasure to himself; all the
manoeuvre of a firs-rate Newmuket jockey. The ode
night, when the atistreu and servants, male mod fen* g
were all sunk in profound repose, this midnight Agit*
ter of the peace assailed the door and windows of the .0
kiteben with such violence as to awaken the sense
amid. Being thus suddenly and preanatmely arasef
from her slumbers, and unable to divine the cause tin
ususual a noise, the girl because exceedingly alarmed,
Musteriag, however, as much courage as possible, is
crawled over the bed with tremblinglimbe, and with
faltering accent inquired what was the matte? Rise, j
said a voice, in a humble manner; rise, Jenny, and hip
me to carry in the corn to the farm; raining had.
As soon as she recognised the voice of her visitant, her A
fears were dispelled; and she prepared, when dressed, X.
to obey the summons. Oa looking out, she saw as. :0
body; and in place of 0 torrents of rails; as sham go
petted, the morning was fair and clear...then she dis.
covered that the disturbance had been OCCII:iOSta by Gm
the boy, in one of his fits of somnambulism. Akw
nights ago. the boy, impressed with the idea that it en c
necessary to take the cart to an adjoining field, pea IA
seeded to the barn-yard, where it was standing en ow, 2
polled it down with an effort apparently beyond bis
natural strength, and dragged it a considerable din
Lance. As misfortuaes, !weever, not enfrequedy
attend those who have their eyes open, it is not OW 2
prising that they should befall those who. go with their
eyes shut. Having in his progress occasion to decal
a gentle declivity, the weight of the can proved one
much for his physical powers to keep on the track, die
wheels slipped gradually into the ditch, and these stock
fast. It now became necessary to exert all his semi
to extricate the vehicle; but alas I the attempt inseam,
and be was obliged to return, 'tied, fatigtsed, and dig-
comfitted, to his bumble bed in the hay-loft, these to
sleep away his disappointment. It is remarkable that
daring this freak, and at all other times when pig
about in his sleep, he felt as if he had been dressage
and was entirely imensible to what be had been abost.
