SINGULAR CASE OF SoMNAMBULIsM. The
Fulton N II. Patriot relates that Miss Mary
Starr of that place, is in the habit, at night,
of getting up, lighting a lamp, taking paper
and pencil, and writing several stanzas of
poetry in a somnambulic state. One night,
fearing some accident might occur her uncle
removed the light from her room, but she
arose as usual, and wrote her poetry in per-
feet darkness. 1t was found to be well writ
ten, correctly punctuated, and the ruled lines
accurately followed. This has been repeated
from night to night, each time new piece
being introduced. She has no knowledge of
the matter herself, cannot repeat a 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 slumber, and cannot finish the
line, or even the next word of the stanza she
happens to be writing. She has sometimes
fallen into this condition in the day time
when her writing impulse comes on. The
young ladys health is not very good and since
her somnambulic exercises she seems to fai
daily.
The above case is very similar to that of Jant
Rider, which occurred some twenty years since
and, of which, DR.. Woodward of the Lunatit
Hospital in this city, under whose care she was
| published an account. She would read, write, OF
do any kind of work in the night without any
| light, or, in the daytime with her eyes thickly

SUMNER EXCURSION TO ENGLAND. There is
to be grand transatlantic excursion to the old
world, to start from Portland the 9th of June
next, in one of the new and beautiful steamers
running between that city and Liverpool The
party is to consist of fifty to sixty gentlemen,
ofrespectable character and position, and whose

entitle the purchaser to first class passage to
and from Liverpool, first class travel in Europe,
and accommodations in first class hotels during
the sojonrn in the various cities proposed to be
visited, in Great Britain and on the continent
The whole tour will be com pleted in about two
Notwithstanding one month in Europe, and
one month on the voyage.
An important feature of the enterprise, is the
fact, that one of the managers is a native of Eng
land, and thirty years residence there has rem
dered him thoroughly conyersant with every
thing worth seeing and knowing in the line Of the
route. He has also resided some time in Paris,
and, being acquainted with the French Lam
