From the Top of on Awning to the Street—A Tal bot County Man’s Exploit While Asleep.

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.

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.
