being wearicd, soon, fell asleep. The
carpenter fully relying upon the vigi-
GLANCE Of the keeper. pursued his
work, anxious. it may be supposed.
to have done with it as soon as posi-
bic. When he had finished he called
William, the keeper, to scc what he
had done, but William made no an
swcr. Having repeatedly called in
vain, he began to feel alarmed at his
silence, and he determined to go TO
the upper part of the. cell, where
looking through the railing he saw
tho liun and the keeper sleeping side
by side. and Immediately he uttered a
loud cry. The lion, awaked by the
noise, started up and darted at the
carpenter with an eye OF fury. anu
then placing his paw on the breast Of
his keeper, he lay down to sleep again.
The poor carpenter was dreadfully
frightened, and not knowing how he
could rouse up William. he ran out
and related what he saw. Seine OF
the attendants of the house came and
opened the door, which the carpenter
had secured with several bars, and
contrivcd to awake the keeper. who
upon opening his eyes, did not APP
pear the least apprchensive on account
Of the situation in which he found
himself. He took the paw of the lion,
and shook it gently in tokeno regard
and the animal quietly returned with
him To its former residence.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.

A few nights since, (says Portsmouth
paper Of Oct 25 a girl of IL years, living
in the house Of Tobias Walker, Esq, was
much distressed in her sleep with the
idea that robbers had broken into the
house. She Immediately arose, threw o.
pen the window Of Thrill story chamber
in which she lodged, and dropped to the
ground. She ran considerable distance
to the house Of her mother, whom she a.
reused, and related her story before she
awok,. Though she appeared to suffer
but little injury from the fall at (r,t, her
feet have since become much swollen, SO
that she is unable to walk.
