"A curious adventure, resulting
from a mistake, occurred in Man

ago. A gentleman who had been
staying with friends until a very
early hour in the morning started
for home somewhat The worse for
liquor. When he arrived at a street
in which he supposed he lived, he
knocked at the door of the house.
Failing to awaken any Of the Occu-
pants, he went around the adjoln-
ing hou es TO The back entrance Of
the building. Here he climbed
over a yard door and Effected an en-
trance into the house by means OF
a window. Some food, remains
Of the evening supper, was upon the
table, and of this he partook. He
then pulled off his boots and pre-
pared to 60 to bed. He managet
to ascend the stairs and entered g.
bedroom. In the room a most as
founding spectacle met his view.
In bed before him lay peaceful ia
sleep a lady, whom he supposed
was his wife, and a gentleman.
Jumping, without hesitation, TO The
beliefthat his wife had been guilty
ola great crime, he seized the sleep.
ing gentleman and dragged him
cut Of the bed. A fierce struggle
ensued, which resulted in the two
men rolling down stairs. All at
once it then dawned on the inebri-
ated contestant that he had got in
to thu wrong house, and he rushed
out of the place with amazing ra-
Apidity. Happening to ON across
a cab, he hailed the driver and
gave most urgent instructions ia

qu~aintance intown. At tn S place
