FAST AsLEEP.-The other day a young
colored man, employed in distributing bills for
the bankrupt clothing store on Exchange
street, became weary of toll, and after imbibing
freely wandered into the Savings Bank
block. In the second story of this building
they are putting in large iron vault. Into
this the wanderer went, and being rather tired,
sat down to rest. Soon after the door was shut
and the fellow was left to slumber. Several
hours later gentleman stepped in to inspect
the safe, and what was his surprise upon open
ing it to find the dusky youth fast asleep. AS
the vault is almost air tight, the young man
had narrow escape from suffocation.
