A sleep-walking adventure in New
Haven recently was very singular one.
The somnambulst drst jumped down
sixteen feet upon tin roof, and, still
asleep deliberately walked off to another
roof six feet lower. Not satisfied with
this achievement, he walked through n
skylight aud lodged on liable ten fee,
below, and in some way crawlcd back
through the disruantled skylisht, cutting
his feet badly in his struggles. The
noise awakened man in the house, who
iound the n,an on the tin roof, entirely un-
CONSCIOUS as to how he came there. He
was wounded and ncarley frozen, and
was taken back into the house and prop
erly cared for. In all, it was the most
astonishing feat of somnammlism on
record.
