A young man named John O'Neill, an employee of the Joliet, Ill., iron and steel company, had a serious nightmare on the night of the 27th ult. He went home from work at 1 o'clock in the morning and retired to rest. Soon after he got up and jumped out of the window, and fell nineteen feet on a pile of stones, bruising himself externally and internally.
