"A curious case OF somnambulish
occurred in Paw Paw, Michigan, few
nights since. A little girl OF eight or
nine years arose in her sleep and
crawled through window OF her bed
room In her night clothes, and, taking
the family dog with her, went to
neigh boris some forty rods away, and
into their strawberry patch. She was
seen by some one soon after to go home.
Her parents were awakened by her
crying at the front door, and on letting
her in she told them where she had
| been, but was still asleep, as she knew
nothing of the affair in the morning.
The semi-oficial announcement
that II Judge Dent becomes the Con-
servative Gubernatorial candidate for
Mississippi he will receive the support
alarm in Radical circles at Washing
ton. Upon inquiry, there appears to
be no good foundation for these reports

construed into meaning that he does
not approve of the actions of the e1-

Springs Virginia a)correspondent writes:
"The entire number OF visitors now
here is about 800, with fair indication
of reaching the unprecedent number of
8 600 by the latter portion of the present
month. 1t Is rumOred that an impor-
tant meeting of politicians-promine
among them Senator Sprague, Ben
Butler and others-will assemble here
to consult with Southern politicians on
leading matters of public interest at an
early day. This may have something
to do with the formation of a new
national party and probably with the
next Presidency, but exactly what 1t is,
Is now impossible to say"

An extraordinary and most won
derful phenomenon occurred at Indian
Grave Gap, Campbell county, Tennes-
see, through which the Knoxville &
Kentucky Railroad Is being built. On
thunder storm, and while it was at Its
height, the Gap was suddenly filled
with a countless number of snakes,
which were seen falling for nearly ten
minutes. They were the common
ringed species. and measured from five
inches to two feet in length, and were
all dead. 1t Is supposed they were
killed by the fall. The news of this
freak of nature soon spread among
the farmers of the region. and created
the most intense excitement among
them. BY evening theG Gap was crowd
ed with hundreds of people, drawn to-
gether to witness the novel spectacle.
Various surmises were INDUCED in by
the puzzled spectators, but the general
opinion was that the mysterious show
er was the premonition of some dread
full sCourge.
