extraordinary feat was performed last week
by gentleman Of Cayuga county, IN. W
engaged as a juror, and lodging in one of
the hotels at Auburn. The jury had been
engaged on a very trying case for several
hours--no, closing their labors til near
midnight, soon after which the individual
alluded to retired TO rest. To make use
of his own explanation since, he had not
been long asleep before his mind became
greatly pgitatcd. He imagined himself
attacked by body of Indians, from whom,
in attempting to flee, he Jumped out of bed,
and, after a few we'll directed blows at the
window, bounded out. The distance from
the window to the ground is trenty feet J;
and a solid walk of limestone was there TO
receive him. His alarm still continued,
and he started off to escape the imaginary
foe, for some fifty rods, when he was over
taken by some gentlemen, who, lodging in
the same room, had been awakened by his
movements only IN time TO witness his exit
from tho window, aud had proceeded with
all haste for his recovery. When taken he
was still asleep, and so continued till after
his return to the Exchange in their care.
Singular enough, slight pain and little
bis,ering of his feet are .he only inconye-
nences this notable exploit has occasioned
the performer.
