Death of A Beautiful Sleep-Walker 

Richmond, Va., Oct. 22nd-This morning the family of Dr. Willis, on Franklin
street, were thrown into the greatest grief by the somnambulistic (sic) death of
his granddaughter, Miss Emily Pembroke Jones. The young lady who is the daughter
of Captain Pembroke Jones, of Powhatan county, was attending school in the city
and boarding at the residence of her grandfather.  She was beautiful and
accomplished, age about seventeen years, and was beloved and admired by a large
circle of friends.  Last night she got out of her bed while still asleep.  She
walked out of her chamber and, continuing her way in the darkness, reached the
head of a staircase, down which she fell with great force.  When discovered her
neck was broken and life extinct.--Constitution.
