Curious Case of somn,ambulism,

weeks in winter, thrcshing his grain.
One night as he was about closing
his labors. he ascended aladder, to
the top of the great beams in the
barn, where the ryehe was threshing
was deposited, to ascertain what
number of bundles remained un-
threshcd, which lie determined to
finish the next day. The ensuing
night, about two O'clock, he was
heard, by one of the family, to arise
and go out. He repaired to his barn
being fast asleep: and unconscious of
what he was doing,set open his barn
doors, asccndcd the great beams of
the barn where hisgrye was deposited.
threw down flooring, and common
ccd tl,reshing it. When he had com.
plctcd it, he rakcd off the straw, and
showed the rye to- one side of the
floor, and again ascendcd the ladder
with the straw, and deposited it on
some rails that lay across the great
beams. He then threw down another
flooring ofrye which he threshed and
finished as before. Thus he contin.
ucd his labors. until he had thrcshctl
five floorings; and on returning from
throwing down the sixth. and last in
passing over part ofthe hay-mow, he
fell of, where the hay had been cut
down about six feet, on to the lower
part oft, which awoke him. He at
first imagined himself in his neigh
boris barn: but after cropping abont
in the dark long time, ascertained
that he was in hisfown, and atiengti,
found the ladder, on which he dcs.
cended to the flaay closed his barr,

the light, Tic found himsclf in such a
profuse pcrspiration that his clothes
were literally wet through. The next
morning, OH going to his barn, he
had thrcshca, during the night, five
bushels Of rye; had rakcd the straw
off good order, and deposited the
grain to one side Of the floor, without
the least consciousness Of what he
was doing, until he fell from the hay.

CuRHAN'S s !NGENuITY.-A farmer nj.
tending II fair viii, hundred pounds in his
pocket, took the prccauiion Of dcposi.ing
il in the hands Of the landlord Of The pub.
ic house n, which nc stopped. Having
occnsion for it shortly afterwards he re-.
sorted 10 mine liost for Tho payment,
but the landlord, too deep for the coun-
trymon, wondered what hundred was
meant, and was quite sure 10 such sum
had ever been lodged in his hands by
the aslonishcd rustic. Alicr Intellectual
appeals 10 the recollection, and finally to
the honor OF Randolph, the farmer ap-
piled 10 Curran for advice.
Have patience, my friend said the
counsel; speak TO the landlord privately,
and tell him you mus, have left the
money with some one else. Take n
friend with Won. aud lodge with him an
other hundred pounds. in The presence

Swimming Extraordinary.

We yesterday had the pleasure Of
witnessing an athletic feat, equal, we
believe, to that performed by the love-
sick youth Of Abydos; for our Lean.
der; had, we presume, no armorous
Yankee pricstess to swim after. A
yonng man named Clinton Jackson

the Falls and back again, without
landing 10 take breath, merely touch.
Ing land on the other side. 70 those
acquainted with Niagara Falls, and
aware Of tho muscle required to get
the ferry boat from side to side, it is
unnecessary to explain; that though
the river at this point is not more
than quarter Of a mile broad, yet
the most lusty swimmer, from the
immense strength Of the current,
against which he has to struggle, is
unable to gain the opposite shore, un.
der threc-quarters Of a mile. It is,
therefore. no small undertaking to
swim mile and half in the most
rapid river N the world, with the Ger.
tain knowledge that cramp or faint
hcartcdness would in few minutes
carry YOU into the rapids below,
where the river is supposed to travel
at the rate of twenty.cight miles an
hour-therc to be dashed to pieces
on the rocks, or to be "suckci in" the
famous whirlpool. Jackson perform.
ed the feat without difficulty, keep.

have both chains just tight enougbstog
permit the block to lie in the furrow;
allow no slack. The short chain
gathers the clover, weeds, &c. and
bends them down: the weight of the
block prevents the chain from rising,
and the plough laps the dirt over the

feats seem wondrous in telling, they
arc far more inexplicablc in the doing;
for you feel what cannot be inditcd
sufficiently in brief description, the
seeming impossibility Of them. The
illusion is perfect; You see things van.
ish under your eyes, and behold them
in another place, while yet they ap.

Turning in Green Crops.
From tn. Germantown PA, ); Telcgrapl

From the Genmantown .Pu.,i Telegraph.
During the last ten years, the prac-
lice Of turning in green crops has been
extensively adopted; and, SO far as my
observation extends, it has been attended
with the most ha,tcTing results. Old,
worn.ou. fields, which had become SO
thoroughly cmncuaicd os scarcely 10
repay the cost Of cultivation, have, by
This process, been thoroughly renovated,
and At less cost, probably than they
could bnvc been in any other way. In
passing through the country our atlen-
lion is often drawn 10 farms which have
been impoverished, by an enormous and
emnsculating system Of cropping. 10 the
