we eAtTdCL INC IOilOWlnB from herman paper. IL
appears from part OF the narrative that the horrd
and barbarous punishment of the wheel has not
yet been wholly abolished in Germany -
"TMsIT, Aug. A. During the night
before last, fire broke out in the south
eastern extremity of the ancient castle of
Ragnit, at present made use of as house
of correction and such was the violence
with which it ragged, that it was only with
the utmost difficulty that the greater part
of the prisoners in confinement could be
saved. The different partition walls of
the great building being almost entirely of
wood, and not one of the five floors into
which it is divided separated from the
other by vaults, the smoke soon forced its
way into the different apartments and ap-
priced the prisoners of their danger
Some succeeded in forcing open the doors,
and those of others were opened by the
inspectors, and the unfortunate people
thus rescued were then conducted by the
military to neighbouring barn. The
task of the guards and firemen was pecu-
liarly severe, having to struggle, not only
with the raging element, but also against
the efforts of the inmates of the building
who were making incessant attempts to
effect their escape. Several prisoners
sought to save themselves by jumping
from the windows, in which two succeed
ed, while much greater number either
lost their lives or were seriously injured.
Seventeen escaped, but ofthese the great
er part have since been re-captured. AS
it was impossible to provide for the safety
of so many prisoners in SO small a place,
two hundred of them were the following
morning brought to Tilsit, and lodged in
the barracks. In the northern wing of
the building, four women, of whom sever
al were already condemned to the wheel,
were placed in the most imminent danger,
their rooms being entirely surrounded by
fire, and the only possible exit being by
the windows, which were secured by strong
iron bars. A reward of one hundred and
fifty dollars was offered to any one who
would save them; upon which mason's
annrentice offered to hazard his life in the
ATTEMPT. but declared beforehand that ne
would not accept the proffered reward.
Bv means of ladders he climbed up to the
window, and there surrounded by flames
and smoke, he succeeded in filing away sew
eral of the bars, and rescuing the unhappy
creatures from what appeared certain

circumstance that those already condemn
ed to death, and whose execution was hx-

l shall therefore only give you what is

the greatest fury, amidst the most horrid

they stand in the greatest dread. When
enclosed they become outrageous, and
charge on all sides with great fury, but
without any effect on the strong barricade
they at last gain the narrow path of the
enclosure, the extreme end of which is
Just large enough to admit one elephant,
which is Immediately prevented breaking
out by strong, bars laid across. To ex-
press their passion, their desperation,
when thus confined, is impossible and
still more SO, to imagine the facility and
admirable continuance by which they are
removed and tanned. Thus, it is A
tame elephant is placed on each side, to
whom the wild one is fastened by ropes

diately on his making the least resist

beat him with their trunks until he sub

and return to perform the same civility to
the next one.
In this way seventy wild elephants were
captured for the purpose of Government
labour. The tame elephants daily take
each wild one singly to water and to feed
until they become quite tame and docile.
The remaining elephants were shot by the
people.

A farmer who lives in the immediate
neighbourhood of Bedford, and regularly
attends the market there, was returning
home in the evening very recently ON
horseback, rather groggy, and not being
able very well to maintain his equilibrium,
he rolled off, nolens Uolens, into the middle
of the road. His horse stood still; but
after remaining patiently for some time,
and not observing any disposition in its
rider to get up or proceed further, he took
him by the collar and shook him. This
had little or no effect, for the farmer only
gave grumble of dissatisfaction at hav-
ing his repose disturbed. The horse was
not to be put off with any such evasion,
and SO applied his mouth to one of his coat
flaps, and after several attempts in this way
to raise him upon his feet, the coat-fap
gave way. Three individuals, who Wit
messed this extraordinary proceeding, then
came up, and assisted him in mounting
his charger, putting the one coat tail into
the pocket of the other, and so he safely
reached his home. This horse is deserved
y favourite of his master, and has. we
understand, occasionally been engaged il,
gambols with him like dog.
