He received a statement to the effect that a man, who was running in an opposite direction bad come into collision with the man and knocked him down. He was quite insensible, and was assisted home to Chapel, street, Tividale. and his name aecertained to he William Brasenhall. At this time it was not thought that the man was dangerously injured ; bat daring the night he remained insensible, sad is the early part of the n . ,..roing ceased to exist.

Several rumours weresdoat yesterday as to the Person Nameable, and it was stated that the deceased ran against Bowater, and that the latter, becoming exasperated, stride him in the mouth and knocked him down.

Tits &war or AIAILMAN LION HUNTERS. The fare may have been commonplace, het the coovereatioa was remarkable. Its subject was what might have bees expected from the circumstances sad the compaey, for even mine host was something of a lioeolayer, and often of as evening strolled out into the forest behind the house is • quiet unpretending way, to look for a shot, WI a mu might who had a rabbit-wanes handy. But what chiefly struck me was that they appeared to be on terms of inti mate acquaintaoce with all the lions of the neighbourhood. It seemed as though there waa not a lion within a radios of fifty miles that was not personally known to some one of the trio. His appearance, his habita, his consort, his family, and the period at which the next little additiee to it might be expected—all these were detailed with • freedom and minntesem that would have mode the Lusatia wires modest of • country newspaper jealous. I noticed, toe, that thin intimacy with the king of besets produced familiarity of expression in speekiag of him. calculated to upset notions derived from "Pets Parley's Tales about Lime," and other scientific works ma the subject. It wag always as "Ice riser coquin de Pestbiivre." or "Go &role quo j'ai blame I'annre dernikre i Ain Nokia," or by some similar playfal. if not cootraptaceis title that he was referred to. The anecdotes also that were related, did Dot, upon the whole, increase one's respect for the animal ; sad some of them attributed to him • low sort of humour, net hitherto acitioed by naturalist., and a taste for practi cal joking, quite inoompatible with true dignity. It is, it would appear, a pleasant multi°, of the lion to present himself suddenly to timid travellers is his dominions, and accompany them for some distance, growling and showing his teeth, until they are reduced to • state of extreme terror, which end &Poised, be leaves them uninjured. Stories of this cart are very commie in the Algerian news papers. and my immunities mistimed several Odious of the mine kind, but always on hearsay evidence. I could see that they placed little faith in such yarns, which I suspect are merely expansions of what is almost an every day occurrence in these parte—that of simply meeting a lion on the high road. It is tree that he does show • pre foreuce for bates roads and pothe—not so much, I Imagine, from "s mkpria tied profane poor l'homme," es Graull says ; but became be Ands them easier and mare tioudertable walking than the howled thickete at each side of him. It may be easy well for the panther, a slini,easke-like creature, but for the law a burly, brood dusted beast, with • career like • bullock's, It can be se easy matter to beta a passage through the dense junks that covers the of the Atha ; sad no doubt, like the earmadrisker is the ballad, " he blesses the genereas Freedman" for incoming his combat so mater alb.
