SLIOCKING CIRCUMSTANCE.

A letter from 13,11)gondee, &Iced May 23, in a
late Calcutta Journal, contains the follotting

shocking recital :
" About 5 o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday
the 20th instant, some of toy servants came run-
ning Into the room in the greatest alarm, say-
ing that an alligator hail just taken away a boy
about fourteen years of age, from one of. the
gliauts near the house. Every body near the place
were seen running to the gbaut, to which place I
proceeded in company with a gentleman, as test as
possible, in the hopes of rendering some assistance.
A little after we arrived at Ole river side, some
one among the vast numbers of natives collected,
cried out that he could see it, and on looking
down the river, at a short distance we clearly saw
the alligator with the boy in his mouth ; shortly
after which he disappeared, then rose again,
and elevating himself with his head out of
the water three or tour feet, he still held the
buy in his mewl) by the hand, and tossed hint
front one side to the other in the air with the
greatest violence and rage; then dashed him on the
surface of the waterovith the hope, as we supposed
of dislocating his bones, the more easily to gorge
bins. This he repeated several times, but nothing
at the 'moment could be done. In the hope of
saving the boy's life, evety thing was thought of
to recover the body, and people were sent orlfor
fishermen residing near the place ; but above an
boor expired before they came with boats and
drag-lines. Ott their arrival, we provided them,
with these, in the hope of obtaining the boy,
and after dragging with the line up and down
the river near the place where they were last
seen, we succeeded in hoohiug up both boy and
alligator. 'Tire later, however, made his escape,
but the body of the hotly was secured, and though
dreadfully Mangled with the loss of head and
shoulders, was brought on shore, and delivered
to the parents for burial. The boats were again
sent out, and again caught the alligator ; but in
drawing him to the surface of the water to liar-
pools him, he broke the lines, and got away a se-
cond time. It being then very late in the even-
ing, nothing more could , be done, but the fisher-
men requested to attehd the next morning to make
another attempt. This alligator, as tar as we
could judge, was Attic 12 or 13 feet long."
