AVinona. Minx., Feb. 17.—Herman
Harms of Utica, near this place, who
has attracted considerable attention
throughout the country by reason of
his extended sleep, being termed the
"Minnesota Marvel."has at last awak-
ened from his somnolent state, which
has extended over a period of nearly
twelve years. He came from Hanover
Germany, and with his family .settled
in St. Charles, Minn., in 18'J9. He had
previously been troubled with Ills of
somnolency, but in the summer of 1875
the strange disease took a firm hold
upon him, and he lost consciousness
and remained in that state, awaking
for two or three minutes at intervals
and partaking of the lightest kind oí'
nourishment and then fulling to^sleep
again.
In December, 18S2, he awoke to full
consciousness, and after recuperating
his lost energies went to work as it
nothing had happened. All went well
