TERRIBLE CASE OF SoMNAMBULIsM.-The
Detroit Free Press relates that on the night of
the 18th September, Mr.. Israel Moreton, of
that city, was awakened and called out of his
house by a man who requested him to walk
across the street and look at the top of his
dwelling. He at first hesitated, suspecting foul
play but seeing a shallow pass along the front
of the house opposite, he crossed over, and on
looking up, beheld female pacing slowly
along the ridgepole, in her night dress, her
hair hanging in confusion about her shoulders.
Says the Free Press:
This spectral form paced slowly to and fro
on the narrow ridge-board which covered the
apex of the roof, approaching in trightful prox-
unity OF the abrupt termination at the ends,
and calmly turning about to retrace the dis
lance. The house was high one, and mis-
step or step too far would have plunged the
nightwalker down to certain destruction The
walker occasionally raised her hand to her
head, as though engaged in thought or troubled
with pain. The head always maintained the
same position. A chimney stood directly in
the middle of the root, around which she pass
ed with ease, placing one hand upon its top,
and walking down the shopping roof to get
around. Once i'll this spectral walk she paused
at the edge of the roof and looked straight
ahead.
A waving movement OF the right hand &C.
companied the act, when the walk was again
renewed. The same spot was reached again a
few moments aftor, when the figure again
paused, and again gazed out into the darkness
and then, with slow notion stretched out a
hand, and with outspread fingers clutched at
something which had no existence except in
the fevered mind ofthe sleeper. The other hand
was then extended in like manner, and the
body went forward in such way that the up.
per portion hung over the abyss, while the fin.
gers reached out, until there was no further
reaching, and then cutched again with a
quick, convulsive snatch, and were with
drawn. The form was motionless moment
and then commenced its walk again, continu.
ing as far as the middle of the root, when il
turned toward the rear of the house, and mov-
ing down the slope Of the roof, was lost to
sight.
Mr.. Moreton recognized the features and
form of his servant girl, about eighteen, named
Jane Mooney. She descended through sky
light to her own room. fastening in, he
aroused his wife, and went with her to the
girls room, and found her sitting on the side OF
the bed, wide awake, and in state of mind
bordering on distraction. She had no knowl.
edge of the occurrence, but had been awaken
) ed by the noise of her employer entering the
house, and found herself standing in the mid.
die of her own, in the condition described The
girl had been suffering from brain fever, from
which she was gradually recovering"

WHERE ARE They a-The lost balloonists
are the chief topic in many localities in north
ern New York. We learn from a despatch
received last night, La Mountains brother has
offered a reward for the discovery of the aero
nants dead or alive, and that party will start
to-day to explore the great woods. But, as
the balloon was last seen passing over that re
gion very swiftly, at great hight, there is no
reason to suppose the lost men can be found
there. 1t is quite as likely that they have
made a sudden voyage to Labrador, and more
likely that they will be found somewhere in
the nothern part of New Brunswick, or eastern
part of Lower Canada. Their hight in the air
when last seen, and the great speed at which
they were going, make it quite certain that
their voyage was not short one. The AL
bany Evening Journal of Thursday evening,
copied the following from the Rome IN. W
Sentinel =
"a rumor was current in our village yester-
day afternoon, brought by the WATERFOWL train
due here ut 2:40 P. NJ, to the effect that it was
reported in Watertown, that letter had been
picked up i'll Canada near Bytown we be-
lieve,) purporting to have been written by La
Mountain, stating that Haddock lone of the
balloonists) was insane, and that the rope was
so tangled up that the valve could not be open
ed to let out the gas, so as to allow the balloon
to come down"
There is no good reason for believing word
of this story. 1t is doubtless an invention
Nobody appears to give it much credit If the
missing balloonists ever return. they will
have a story to tell that will be worth hearing
This is the tenth day since their departure.

Hope FOR THE AGED.-A Brookfield cor
respondent says Among those who were
received to the First Congregational Church
in North Brookfield, Rev. c. Cushing, pastor,
on the 4th ult., there were two females, one
aged IS and the other 81 years. The former
was baptized when the ordinance was in such
estimation that she was carried out by the
nurse before the mother was able to leave
home. The other was baptized under the
halfway covenant by Rev. David Barnes,
d. d., an American, who was ordained and
installed in South Sctuate, Mass, los years
ago. Both united by profession, giving recent
date to their religious experience And both
are in such feeble health that the service was
performed at their private residences On the
same day youth, 16 years of age, also united
with this church. Thus, while the promise is
to youth, all are encouraged to seek the grace
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"
