How O SOmnambulist Woke Them
Up.

The Kansas City Times relates the fol-
lowing incident, which illustrates how
practical somnambulism may be made
useful:
Mrs. S. S. Newmeyer, who resides with
her two daughters, aged eleven and thir-
teen years, in a small house, has for the
past two or three months been suffering
from acute mental anxiety on account of
the death of her husband, in December
last. Mrs Newmeyer has been addicted
to sleep-walking and restlessness during
the night, seldom sleeping more than
half night at a time. So much has
this habit of sleep-walking increased
upon their mother that one or the other
of the daughters has been Obliged to
keep constant watch lest something
might befall her. A popularity about
this somnambulism has been desire of
the sleep-walker to visit the parlor Of
the house, and take seat in the chair
directly opposite the one usually occu-
pied by her husband in life The daugh-
tiers have frequently found her thus
seated asleep, with lamp burning upon
the parlor table. The other night EN-
ma, the younger of the girls, was awak-
ened by hearing loud crash in the par
lor, and noise as of some person or
persons running from the front yard.
On going to the parlor they found their
mother seated as usual fast asleep in her
chair, the lamp burning upon the table,
and the front window wide open. A
closer examination disclosed mans hat
and several burglars tools, and from the
appearance of the sideboard and bureau
it was plainly evident that thieves must
have been at work when the sleep-walk-
er glided into the room. She must
have caused quite stampede, for the
thieves did not stop to pick up their
tools or their booty. They evidently
supposed the apparition something
supernatural, and left their nights work
for others to finish. From footprints in
the snow there appear to have been two
persons in the house.

MERCER COUNTY LYNCHING AF.
FAIR.
A Dying Man COnfesses Having Out
ragged and Murdered q Little Girl,
f)r Which Two Men Were Lynehed
by a Mob.

FoRT WAYNE, IND, March 24.-In
the month of June, 1872, Mary Belle
Secor, aged thirteen, was brutally out
ragged, and afterward killed, in Mercer
county, Ohio, a few miles southeast of
this city. Two men named Mcleod and
Kimmell were lynched by infuriated
citizens. Since then the affair has grad
ually grown out of memory. A few
days since Thomas B. Douglass died of
consumption. He had emigrated from
that county, hoping to be cured. One
half an hour before his death he sent for
Catholic priest, and made this startling
confession:
''In this, my dying hour, in full hope
of pardon by confessing the deed that
has weighed upon my mind like death
pail, am the guilty wretch who out
ragged and murdered Miss Secor, near
Celina, Ohio. Heaven alone knows
what hellish motive prompted it, but at
the time my brain was on FIRE from
drink; was veritably a madman, past
power of control. The hanging Of Nc
Leod and Kimmell was murder l was
