The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1831-11-15

A surprising instance OF S0mnambutiSm,
as we shall call it, for the want Of a bet
ter term, occurred at Albany few days
since. While the sloop Orange Of this
place was lying at the Albany pier one
night last week, the captain was observed
to rise in his sleep and make for the cab
in window, which he at first tried to de-
molish with his naked fist, and then tore
out with his hand, and plunged into the
river. The current was running at n
very rapid rate, and threatened for n mo-
ment to sweep him away, but with an en-
ergy sometimes exhibited on such occa-
sions, he was enabled to master it and
lay hold Of the davits at the stern of his
vessel, by which he climbed to the quar-
ter deck, and from thence descended to
the main deck before he awokc. The
captain says that in his waking hours it
would have been quite impossible for him
to have got on board by the means he
took while asleep, and there is no doubt
that if he had awoke while in the water,
or while climbing the davits, that he
would have perished. Sleep walking
with him is no uncommon thing, but this
is the first time that he, or any body else
that lie has ever heard of, has attempted
sleep sscimming, and succeeded. He has
a distinct impression Of his feelings ante
cedent to his rising. He felt great
pressure upon him, and thought that the
deck was about 10 fall In and crush him,
and the only way Of escape he could dis
cover was TO jump out Of the cabin win
dow.

Horrible.-Last evening at about o.
clock, watchman, at the head ol
Roosevelt street, called upon several citi-
Zens for assistance in taking into custody
man who it was alledged, had just cut
his wife's throat. Four or five persons i'm
mediately accompanied the watchmen to
the spot, which was up narrow alley 10
rear of No. IL Roosevelt, near Chatham
street. They found the door fastened,
but Immediately broke in, when they en-
countered a stout, fierce looking foreign
er, only half dressed, and furiously
brandishing large bloody knife, with
which he had probably committed the
murderous deed. The party immediate
ly rushed in, knocked the fellow down,
and, after a most desperate resistance,
succeeded in conveying him TO the watch
house. In corner of the room lay the
victim, with her throat horribly gashed,
weltering in blood, aud groaning as ifin
the agony of death. Our informant be-
ing engaged in assisting to secure the
supposed murderer, could only take a
slight view Of the woman, who seemed
somewhat advanced in years. We learn
that she still survives, though badly stab
bed in the neck-and may possibly re-
cover. The culprit's name is John
Moran.-N Y. EUcning Journal.

MEMOIRS OF RHODE-IsLAND.

The editor of this paper proposes to
entertain the readers of the r.. l. Repub-
lican with the materials for compiling a
history ofthe Island Of Rhode Island, hav-
ing received encouragement from some
gentlemen already possessed of numer-
Gus documents relative to the proposed
object. The preface will appear in the
first paper published after the commence
ment ofthe year 1882, and be continued
weekly when not prevented by unayoida-
BILE interruptions-commencing with the
first settlement Of the Island by the En-
glish, or some subject connected with it,
and if sufficient aid is afforded, will bring
up the historical materials to the most
modern times. The century sermon of
John Calender will be resorted to, or at
least the historical part thereof, which
work has made this state largely the
debtor of that gentleman, as we believe
no other history of Rhode-Island has ev-
er been compiled. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. gentleman before
the first baptist society in Newport, on
the 7th day Of March, 1888 being just one
hundred years from the first settlement
of the Island The Termination of N soc
ond century being now fast drawing to a
close,it is desirable that the work should
be in progress, and by publishing the ma
terials weekly in short articles, the public
will be able to correct occasionally any
errors that they may discover.
Persons wishing to have an entire series
