SLEEP WALKING.

Many of the most singular cases have
been detailed of persons rising and walk
ing in their sleep; but none are more
remarkable than that of boy, named
Thomas Young, residing at Middlefeld
small farm near Kelso, and chiefly from
the frequency with which he INDUCES in
this practice. Scarcely night passes,
but the people have an opportunity of wit
Messing some of his motions which he
goes through with as much activity and
precision as when awake. Sometimes he
has been observed making his way to the
stable and mounting his old and faithful
friend, Dobbin, who may not unfrequent-
ly be heard greeting his arrival with a
hearty neighing, by way Of welcome. At
another time he may be seen engaged in
driving a COW before him to the field and
once he was seen riding on the rigging
of the barn." exhibiting, with the utmost
apparent pleasure to himself, all the ma
neuvres of first rate Newmarket Jock
ey. The other night, when the mistress
and servants, male and female, were all
sunk in profound repose, the midnight
agitator of the peace assailed the door and
windows of the kitchen with such vio-
lence, as to awaken the servant maid.
Being thus suddenly and prematurely
aroused from her slumbers, and unable to
divine the cause of SO unusual noise,
the girl became exceedingly alarmed.

"A Tennessee Weyabers of Congress.
The facetious Mr.. X. Of Ohio, tells a good
story, in which this Congressman from
the wild woods of Tennessee, figures as
the hero. The reader is to suppose Davy
returned from the first session he had the
honour of representing the people in Con-
gress. He is tosuppose further, that Davy
has fallen in with number ofhis constit-
uents at a raising, and is giving them an
account of his visit to the President
'The first thing did, said Davy, 'af-
ter | got to Washington was to go to the
Presidents. I stepped into the Presi-
dents house, thinks l who's afeared

Davy, 'and | walked round the long table,

drinking wine across the table. If they

mastering, however, as much courage as
possible, she crawled over the bed with
trembling limbs, and with a faultering ac-
cent, inquired what was the matter
Rise, said voice in humble manner;
rise, Jenny, and help me to carry the
corn into the barn, it's raining hard. AS
sson as she recognized the voice OF her
visitant, her fears were dispelled, and s.ae
prepared to obey the summons. On look->
ing out she saw nobody; and, in place OF
torrents Of rain," as she expected, the
morning was fair and clear; then she dis
covered that the disturbance had been oc-a
casioned by the boy, in one of his hts OF
somnambulism. A few nights ago, the
boy, impressed by the idea that it was
necessary to take the cart to an adjoining
field, proceeded to the barn-yard, when 1T
was standing on end--pulled it down with
an effort apparently beyond his natural
strength, and dragged it considerable
distance. AS misfortunes, however, not
unfrequently attend those who have their
eyes open, it is not surprising that they
should befal those who 60 with their eyeG
shut. Having in his progress occasion -
descend gentle declivity, the weight or
the cart proved too much for his physical
powers to keep on the track, the wheels
slipped gradually into the ditch, and there
stuck fast. 1t now became necessary to
exert all his strength to extricate the We
hicle; but alas the attempt was vain,
and he was obliged to return, vexed,
fatigued and discom6tted, to his bed,
there to sleep away his disappointment.
1t is remarkable, that during this freak,
and at all other times when going about
in his sleep, he felt as if he had been
dreaming, and was entirely insensible to
what he had been about.

The LAST OF THE SQUIRRELS. A gem
tleman, member of the Legislature, gave
me the following information short time
ago, on his return from the Indian coun-
try. The Squirrels were branch of the
Miamies, and at one time quite consid-
cradle band But by wars and hardships,
they were reduced to a single man, who
lived on the Mississinewa. This Squirrel
harboured an unalterable animosity to-
wards Miami, and used every means to
get fight with him. But finding that
out of his power, he presented the Miami
large hunting knife, and ordered him to
take his life with it. The Miami took the
knife, seemed to reflect a moment, and
then plunged it to the handle in the breast
of the Squirrel, which had been barred and
presented to him. When he was certain
the fatal act was completed, he drew the
blade from the heart of the Squirrel, who
fell back, against tree, and with the most
apparent composure, ielt his last breath
fast approaching. The Squirrel never
evinced the least emotion of fear when
the Miami put the deadly weapon to his
breast, but, with unshrihking firmness,
seemed to look upon it with pleasure, as
an honorable kind ofrevenge. Such are
the ideas of these uncivilized children of
nature.-Centrevile Indiana Times.

Power OF THE CoUNTENANcE. One
of the editors of the Youths Companion
states the following fact, which he recently
witnessed while on a visit to the Hartford
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb :-"M Gal
laudet, the principal ofthe Asylum, remark
ed that he would endeavour to communicate
distinct idea by changes of the countenance,
without the use of the arms or fingers. He
would not promise that he should succeed !;
but he would make the trial. Mr.. G. signifed
to the pupils what he wished to do, which
excited smile at his novelty. (de told US
that the idea was q description of the judy
ment of the great day. He then folded his
arms stood erect, and by most surprising
fexibility of muscles, was enabled to com
municate his meaning, so that two of the
pupils wrote the sentence. 8 In the day of
Judgment, all mankind will be assembled,
and the righteous and the wicked will be
separated before Christ the Son of God.'"

The editor of the Connecticut Courant
accommodates there must be specific
quantity of speech making in Congress,
and as the session must be short one
that the talking members should be deliy-
cred of their speeches in the commence
ment of the session, while the committees
are preparing to report, and before the bu-
sy season arrives when it will be necessa-
ry to act. This will certainly be an eco
nomical mode. What say you Messrs.

New REMEDY FOR DRUNKENNESS.
The Brighton (Eng.) Gazette states that
a scottish fellow belonging to Lewes was
cured of his habits of intoxication in the
following manner. His wife, after en-
during for some time the modification
and distress arising from his custom of
coming home fuddled, and finding that
their children must either leave off eating,
or the father abandon drinking, resolved
to accompany him in his licentious bouts.
So she followed him from tavern to tav-
ern, sat beside him, called for the same
liquors, performed the same bacchanalian
orgies, and returned to their miserable
abode equally drunk. The husband dis
gusted with this sort of imitation, forswore
the bottle-so did the wife-he betook
himself to business-and the wife likewise
and finally they both became examples
of industry, temperance, and frugality,
saving themselves and children from that
ruin which the conduct of the husband
had so nearly brought upon them.
