a QUEER CASE OF soNNAMBULIsM occurred a
lew evenings since at factory in Westfeld,
Conn. One Of the workmen, being instructed
IN the evening to carry into the shop the next
morning a quantity of wood lying outside, was
surprised, when the time came, TO find Ii all
carefully piled. The Waterman SAYS that dur
ing the night the man did the work according
to his instructions, stepping carefully over the
things on the floor. The Waterman spoke TO
him several times, but received no answer, and
as soon as the job was done the somnambuIist
went home. The night worker noticed a feeling
of lassitude the next morning, and was unable
to work during the day.

The MOST POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT in
town Is the novel exhibition of the ROYAL
hariOnettes at Wizards hall. This is proved
not only by the crowds unable TO gain adj
lance TO the hall, but by the frequent laughter
and applause Of those fortunate enough to get
seats. The funny eomical antics of the man on
stills ard the trained wooden mules would make
the most wretched man laugh while the clown
and pantaloon in the pantOmIne and their won
derful adventures, far ahead OF the flesh and
blood limitations, afford infinite astonishment
and diversion to the little folks. The audiences
comprise our best citizens and their families
and the grandparents and parents are as much
pleased as the children. The grand trans for
nation scene at the close is very good.

DIvoRoB CAsEs.-Yesterday in the Equity
Court, Judge Wyhe made two DEGREES OF d.
Vorce:
In the case Of Kate Canty agt. Patrick Canty
the petitioner states that they were married Ia
1s6j by Rev. Father wigett, and she CHI 4rges
that he has treated her with great cruelty, and
several times attempted to take her life. The
decree gives the petitioner the custody OF her
children, vests the real estate and personal
property in Robert French az trustee for the
benefit Of herself and children, the sum of
500 row in the hands of the Rev. p. F. Nc
month.
In the case of Catherine Boyle from James
Bsyle, the decree gives her the custody of her
children. The bill charges him with sundry
acts OF cruelty towards her, such as personal
violence and the application TO her of the most
filthy epithets in the presence of people on the
street, and so outrageous was his conduct at
times that she was compelled to have him taken
before the Police Court, from whence he was
sent 10 jail. They were married in Baltimore
IN 1855, by Rev. Father Foley, and defendant
Boyle, IL will be remembered, was once a po-
heeman here. He was also a brother -in-law OF
Barney Wood, who was hung for the murder OF
Cheese man.
