"The Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-

payment of January interest on their
first mortgage bonds, on which the
State of Alabama is endOrser. The
amount of these bonds is about four
millions of dollars, of which about
three-fourths are held abroad, and one

the necessary money was offered to the
Company by bankers in this city, but
according to report dissensions prevailed
among the Board of Directors which
resulted in the offer not being accepted.

dorsed on the bonds, will be responded
to, as the Legislature, which convenes

A Richmond undiana) special to the Gin
cinnati Gazette says:
farmer named Samuel Sands, residing a
short distance east of this city, took rather
a serious somnambulistic freak last night.
He retired at nine o'clock. and at ten his
dreamy fancy pictured some one trying to
kill him. He sprung out of bed, few at
the window, tore it to pieces-sash and
glass-cutting himself from head to feet,
jumped from the open window on to the bal
cony, then over the parapet and down six
teen feet on to the hard gravel carriage way,
then up and took to his heels through the
grounds and had reached the outer gate to
the highway and opened it when his father
called to him from the open door which he
had Just reached. This brought Sam to his
senses, and he returntd to the house, drip
ping with blood at every step and making a
stream of the sanguinary fluid over the car
pet as he walked into the house. A couple
Of doctors were sent for who found no
broken bones, but many gashes cut through
the skin on his face, arms, legs and feet, not
deep, though some of them severe and very
painful.
