A Jlfan Killed. by an Elep.’zu7it —-‘Va
learn by a gentleman from Brion Rouge.
that the large ‘mile elephant of Messrs. Hop-
kins 3B Co’s iiienagerie, on Saturday morning
killed the person who had been for some time
employed to takechnrge of It.’ It appears
that two elephants and a camel had been sent
in advance of the other animals, on route for
Ciinton, the female elephant and the camel
chained together. When about fotir miles
from Baton Rogue, the male elephant rcfu
sad to cross a small bridge; the keeper who
was on foot, procured a horse (one which
he was not accustomed to) for the purpose of
.d.i-iv_i_ng it over, and in attempting to mount.
the -horse shyed and threw the man ._i‘r__i_~ the
road. The elephant immediately “rushed
upon bin-'.t.c.’;ught him upon ‘his tusks, and
threw him forty or fifty feet in the_air.which
was repeated agreat number of times, the
task fi'equeritly passing through his body.-—
It then carried the body from the road to-
wirds the woods, tossing it in the air at in-
tervals, tintil it fell between two fallen
trees, which saved it from further violence.
The infuriated animal then returned to the
mid. where the female elephant and camel
had keen chained to a tree by another keep-
er, and rushed upon them, his ttisks pass-
ing through the camel, knocking down the
female, and breaking the chain in two. The
enraged animal then made ofi’ tow-’it'dS the
woods, carrying the camel by its trunk‘. and
throwingit at intervals in the air with‘ its
tasks. ‘The other portion of the caravan
now coming to the bridge. the elephant re-
ttimed and made demonstrations olan attack
upon it, when fire arms were brought into

Albany. Two hundred good and true dem-

the light of the soul. It brightens the soul.’
It brightens the understanding, as well as

as ‘enlarges the heart; and gives to the sou‘

and the best moderator and coinposer of dis-

ning,’ so the love of God is the perfection and
accomplishment ‘of wisdom.’ ‘
