Curiosities Of Sleep.

In Turkey, if persou falls asleep in
the neighborhood of poppy field and
the wind blows over towards him, he be-
comes gradually narcotized. and would
die if the country people, who are well
acquainted with the circumstances did
not bring him to the next well or stream,
and empty pitcher after pitcher of ater
on his face and body, DR.. Appenheim,
during his residence in Turkey, owed his
life to this simple and enicacious treat.
ment. DR.. Graves, Gtom whom this an,
necdote is quoted, also reports the case of
a gentleman thirty years of age who, from
continual Sleeplness, was reduced TO Il
complete living skeleton, unable to stand
op his legs. 1t was partly owing to dis.
ease, but chiefly 10 the abuse of mercury
and opium / until at last unable TO pursue
his business, he sank into abject poverty
and woe. DR.. Reid mentions friend of
his who, whenever anything occurred to
distress him, soon became drowsy and
fell asleep. A fellow student also, at Ed.
inburg. upon hearing suddenly the un.
expected death Of a near relative, threw
himself on his bed aud almost instanta-
neously, amid the glare of MONDAY, sunk
into a profound slumber. Another per.
son reading aloud to one of his dearest
friends stretched on his death bed, fell
asleep. and with the book still in his hand
wens on reading utterly unconscious oil
what he was doing. A woman at Ham.
adt slept seventeen or eighteen hours a
day for fifteen years, Another is recor
ded TO have slept once for four days.
DR.. Macknish mentions a woman who
spent three.fourths of her life in sleep
and DR., Elliotson quotes the case of Q
young lady who slept for six weeks anc
recovered. The venerable St. Augustine
of Hippo, prudently divided his time in
TO three parts, eight to be devoted 10 sleep
eight TO recitation, and eight 10 converse
with the world. Maniacs are reported
particularly in the eastern hemisphere, t.

ring the full Of the moon, more especiall,
when the deteriorating rays of its poIari
lied light is permitted to fall into lhei

Great Fire at the Penitentiary.

IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
About 7 o'clock last night, a fire com.
menced in the North range of work
shops in the Ohio Penitenliary, and made
such progress before it was discovered,
that it was impossible to arrest it until
the entire range was in ruins. It was
with great difficulty checked, before the
west and east wings of the manufacturing
departments were ivolved in the conaa-
gralion. Still the destruction of property
was very great.
The Ohio Tool Company's shop, Hay.
den's Blacksmith shop, Hall, Brown &
Co. S Cooper shop, the Stale Shoe al d
Tailors shops, and Dsy's Wood Type
mandatory we're entirely destroyed
It is presumed The losses were partially
protected by insurance, but to what ex-
tent we could not ascertained at the scene
of destruction. The devastation along
the North range is complete-nothing
whatever could be saved and some oil
the walls fell during the burning.
1t is hardly possible this conaagration
could have been SO complete without
having been the work of some scoundrol.
When our reporter arrived on the ground.
the fire was raging with equal ferceness,
the whole length Of the entire row OF
buildings.
The gross loss to contractors canno,
be less than fifty thousand dollars. What
that of the State will be, we have no,
heard estimated. - Statesman, 24th.

sessing, and when arrested in Cleveland
a loaded revolver and three bowie knives
were found on his person. Nevertheless,
upon the evidence presented, i. was al
most impossible that the Jury could find
a verdict. They were unable to agree.
In the meantime the prisoner has been
remanded, and whatever his name may
be, he will now be tried for the murder
Of the policeman, whom he is alleged to
have killed in order to effect his escape.
We were in Cleveland in May last, at
