one dozen boarders, together with many day

pleased with these strangers, who have come
among them for the cause OF education, and,

support. Though not OF their persuasion, and
consequently disapprovcr Of nunneries, jus

On the goth two elephants lately seen at the
cirque Olympique, were exhibited nj Pacau-
diere, IN the department Of the Loire, in
France. Two EngIishmen acting rs headers
TO these animals, At night marched them or
TO La Pallisse, small town within four leagues
OF that village. The owner having observed
IN the eyes Of ono OF these elephants, named
DJeck, that il harbored some ill-humour A.
gainst one Of the leaders who had ill-treated
II some days before, warned him Of his fears.
and recommended him not TO accompany the
caravan. This the leader did not attend to-
but on the contrary, affected TO be more Sc
we're than usual towards the beast They
had, however, scarcely travelled n league
who wished 10 force him on, turned round
seized the man with his trunk, and lifted him
OIL his horse, and flung him several feet above
his head. The unfortunate leader, having
had his leg broken by the fall, was unable to
escape, and the elephant laying hold Of him
second time, threw him into ditch and tram
bied him under his feet. The Infatuated ami
NAL then ran towards q carman, who was Jour
neying along the road, relied him and pitched
him into held. The poor man fortunately
came Oh with few slight bruises but his
horses took fright and would probably have
added to the confusion, had not the car upset
IN ditch along the road, where they were
Obliged to stop. All these misfortunes would
have been but the prelude of others, had not
the horses OF the Paris mail-coach, which was
passing BY ut the moment, stopped in good
time, and the other leader, at the risk Of his
life, succeeded in calming and securing the
elephant The unfortunate Englishman was
conveyed TO st. Martin d'Estreaux, where he
expired in n few minutes. paper.
The above is the same Elephant that per-
