Sleeper Jumping.—Last Saturday night, about half past 3 o'clock, a man leaped from the window of the third story of a brick building in Fish Street, Boston, in his sleep, on to the pavements. He was first discovered by the watch in this situation, and carried into the house senseless. A physician was immediately sent for, who pronounced the man not dangerous, although very much injured. On Sunday morning he was much better than could have been expected, yet was entirely unable to give any account of his somnambulous excursion.
