A MENAGERIE IN A FLY.

Mr. Edmond's menagerie appears to have got into an awk-
ward fix in the alternating frosts and thaw of Wednesday
morning. The Liverpool Courier says Mr. Edmonds had an-
nounced that ho would make his appearance at St. Helen's
yesterday. A start was made from the precincts of the
Monument soon after closing time. The ascent from Liver-
pool to the Old Swan-road bad taken four or five hours,
and the procession was a most melancholy one. The
heavy vans had to be dragged, as it were, up an incline
of ice, and the horsei were of no.more use in the ordinary
teams than so many kittens. They stumbled and fell
in a heap at almost every step, and the elephants
and camels were not of the slightest use in such an
emergency. They had no shoes to be "roughed," and their
broad fat feet sprawled and elided about on the stippery sur-
face—the animals being evidently in considerable ten-or.
The only way to get on at all was by yoking the horses
twenty or thirty in a team to a single van and hauling it some
distance. Nearly an hour and a half was thus taken up in
getting over half a mile of ground to reach a blacksmith%
forge at Old Swan, where a general halt was made that
all might take a rest, and the horses have their shoes
"roughed."
