EXTRAODiNARY CASE OF SOMNAMBULIsM The

coun, of singular case Of somuanbuIisn, of VIII sh
Miss Mary Starr, school girl of sixteen yeare, is
the subject:
Several days since she was afflicted with partial
blindness accompanied with severe headache from
which, however, she soon recovered. Az night,
after falling asleep, she arose, lighted her lamp,
and taking pencil and paper wro g several stsnzas
of poetry, which was found in the morning and Ct
which she has no knowledge herself, and sbe could
only be convn ced of the fact by the assurance ct
her mate, cousin, and The unmistakeable evi-
deace of her own hand writing
Anticipating a repetition OF the act, and fesring
danger from burning lamp ia the hands of o
sleeping person her uncle after she retired on the
succeeding night took the precaution TO remove
the lamp from the room, and place it beyond her
reach. She, however arose, and in perfect dark
hess wrote another piece of poetry, which, on eX-
animation by daylight, was found to be we'll writ
ten, correctly spelled and puCctuated, and the
ruled lines accurately followed as they could
have been by the best penman with good light
And this has been repeated from night to night each
time q new piece being produced
She has no knowledge Of the matter herself
cannot repeat word of the poetry she produces,
and insists that she does not write it. Her friends
watch her closely. They have interrupted her
while writing, when she seems like one aroused
from deep slunber, and cannot finish the line or
even the next word of the staDza she happens to
be wiring. II her writing materials are removed
from her room, she arises, and fading them lnisss
ing proceeds to search drawers, trunks, DC in
the dark with as much ease as another would do
it by day. One of the pieces which we publish
was written on scrapso Of paper thus found by her
between the leaves of aniAtlas. The most of her
productions are dated August Z, 1649" the date OF
her birth; and many Of them are underscribfd

In an unconscious state, and rooms "pitch dark"
