ACCIDENT FROM SONNAMBULIsM.-A few
nights since lady residing in Washington
street met with serious accident while in a
state OF somnambulism. She had no knowl-
edge that she ever arose from her bed while
asleep, nor did any of the persons in the house
know that she was sOmnambulist though
they had frequently heard voices in the night
TIME TOR which they could not account, but all
OF which has now been explained. On the
night In question she took her child about a
year and a half old out of bed, and descended
the stairs and went out to the safe for some
thing to eat. The table had already been set
for breakfast the next morning, and she put
the food on it, after which she treated herself
and child to IA hearty meal. Without reno
wing any of the dishes she returned to her bed
room, laid the child down and again started
down stairs. As she descended she came into
contact with swinging window sash which
awoke her, and without knowing where she
was stepped forward and fell headlong to the
foot OF the stairs. One Of her arms was bro
ken by the fall, and she received a severe
confusion on the frontal bone, which however
fortunately did not prove of a serious charac-
ter. The noise created by the fall awoke
some OF the members of the family, who i'm
mediately got up, supposing that the house
had been entered by robbers, when the I'M
fortunate lady was found on the floor and in q
a state of insensibility. She soon recovered
but could not tell how she came in that condi-
ton. Medical aid was called and the wounds
attended TO, the fracture proving only the
small bone Of the fore arm. She subsequent
ly remembered and recited what she called Q
dream, in which she thought she had taken
the child and gone to dinner. On several oc-
casiOns previously the food put away at night
was found to be much less, and the domestic
OF the family was suspected of the theft,
though the lady herself always took charge of
the keys. 1t was fortunate that she did not
fall the first time she went down or the child
would in all probability have been killed
