A KOM NAURU LIST’S STEP.
From the Top of on Awning to the Street—A Tal
bot County Man’s Exploit While Asleep.
Yesterday morning just before day the police
on duty up town were rather surprised to see a
man on the street near Bizo’s wagon yard in his
night clothes. They went to him and found that
it was a Mr. Cunningham, of Talbot county, and
he was making his way back to his room over
Bize’s store.
Mr. Cunningham is a somnambulist. Thurs
day night lie look a room in the second story o'
Mr. Bize’s store. Between midnight and day he
arose and went to the window, which he raised,
and stepped out upon the awning on Thirteenth
street. He then walked down to the edge of the
awning and stopped to the ground, a distance of
twelve or fifteen feet. Strange to say, he was only
slightly injured by the fall, one of his hips being
considerably bruised.
Mr. Cunningham says he frequently walks in
TTie friends and acquaintances of Mr. O. A. , . . ,

A Painful Accident.
A day or two ago Mrs. Young, mother of
Messrs T. 8. and A. O. Young, of Browneville,
happened to a most paiufal accident. Early in the
Morning her sister, Mrs. Oglotree, fell from the
hack porch to the ground. Mrs. Young heard ! next day he swore that he knew nothing about
her and ran out to see if she was hurt, and she, jit. The same gentleman is said to have gone
too, flail. Mw. Oglot ree was only slightly bruised, | once while asleep to the house of a neighbor and
but Mrs. Young had one Of her arms broken and j bought a suck of peas. When the neighbor
t§ still confined to the bed. j spoke to him about the incident the next day he
8wore it was not true, and he would not believe
his horse. He then mounted him and rode to
the race track, where he rau a race against an
imaginary opponent. He put iris horse out at
his best, and at the finish of the mile he drew up
and sat on his horse and talked about how he
had won the race. He then returned homo and
put his horse back into the stable and retired.
During all this remarkable proceeding he was
watched by two friends, and when told of it the

The German l ast Night.
L’Allegro German Club gave a german lust
night at its hall, complimentary to visiting
young ladies in the city. While the attendance
was not quite as large as usual, owing, probably,
to the inclemency of the evening, the time never
passed more quickly and enjoyably. The vi:-it-
ing young ladies who graced the occasion were
Misses Willie Bell and Julia Hawks, of
Atlanta, and Misses Florence Hubert*
and Kit tie Freeman, of Macon. Mr.
and Mrs. Walter W. Curtis nud Mr. and Mrs.

| Wide Awake.
I Half a dozen years ago it seemed Impossible
I for Wide Awake to be more beautiful or more
J attractive, yet year after year it has gone on,
J adding new features and developing old ones,
j Until it deems at last excellence can no further
j go. Its wealth of stories, sketches, poetry ami
t illustrations furnish an inexhaustible reservoir
of entertainment and instruction for the mem
bers of the family circle, old as well j s young,
j and its monthly visit is like a ray of golden sun-
| shine in 4lie household.
j The half-yearly volume which has Just made
its appearance, includes the numbers from De-
! comber, 1385, to May, 1886, inclusive, and in va
; rlety of contents and general attractiveness is a
step in advance of its predecessors. One of its
particular features is a Reries of six ballads, beau
tifully illustrated by lias sum, Barnes and Gar
rett, contributed by Mrs. A. 1). T. Whitney, Celia
Thnxter, Harriet. Prescott Spofford, Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, Lucy Larcom and Nora Perry.
Fred Clark represented the young married I Besides this poetical series, there is one of
people. Mrs. Andrew J. Lowe wus the chape
rone.
Prof. Chase's orchestra furtiisned the music and
thecarnetist, Frank Proddy, who lias recently re
joined the orchestra, added no little to the at
tractiveness of the feature of the eveuing.
