SHOCKING ACCIDENT.


During the exhibition of the Menagerie
at Covingfon, few days ago, An individu-
al named Black, had the timerity, contrary
to the remonstrance of several persons pre-
sent, to Offer small! pieoe o. snbacco to the
Elephant, which it Fec - n its trunk Of
proboscis. To that n6Aat animal, nothing
can be more repulsive. HAving repeated
the imprudest act several timsq, the Ele.
EsST 6ec1nSe enfx9<d, and V4ising thu
unfortunate man, wound his trunk round
him, pressed him with lts ponderous wea.
pom, and dashed him to the earth. The
death of the indivi dual was almost instan-
taneous. and the confusion that succeeded
is said to have been truly alarming. The
friends of the deceased threatened the i'm
mediate death of the animal, to prevent
which, we regret to say, the proprietors
had to run HIM out of the country. All
must regret the result, and wonder at the
infatuation which could urge an individual
to ru sh madly to doom which must have
appeal inevitable. Ii should be a lesson
to all who visit such places never to place
too much confidence in the docility of
animals which they know can and will re-
sent injuries and insults. The nature and
disposition Of such arc not readily under.

LEXINGTON, (Ky.} Oct. 81

this city. in riding across his farm few
days since, was suddenly surprised and
alarmed to find his horse gradually sink
ing into the earth. He instantly leaped
from the animal, and by SO dong his own
life was providentlally saved. The horse
continued to sink lower and lower into
the earth. until he had descended one
hundred and fifty feet. At this point he
became wedged between two masses Of
rock, and was crushed to death. The
chasm or assure, we are told, appears to
have been formed by the separation OF
the earth and rock in some CONFUSION Of

MURDER WILL OUT"

The Tories, Foreign influence, and
British Geld.-We alluded some days
since, to the lavish use of British Gold
by the Tory Party, in order to carry
their ticket in the coming contest in
this State and we then took occasion to
say, that the eyes Of the aris.ocracy Of
England we're anxiously bent upon US,
and their purses open to the amount OF
millions Of dollars to aid their Tory
allies in this country in their warfare a.
gainst the Constitution, the laws, and
the institutions Of our Republic.
The rapid strides which the United
States are making in every thing which
is calculated to render US great and
powerful as nation, and our people
happy and contented, has always had
its influence upon the people of Eu.
rope and we see evidences daily, that
the rotten monarchies and aristocratical
establishments Of the old word, are des-
tined to crumble into dust before the
moral effect of our Republican Institu.
lion, and the happiness they confer
upon all classes OF the people. They
preceive too, the dangers which are to
be apprehended from our successful
progression in the great experiment
which the patriots of76 attempted, and
it is not to be wondered at that they are
alarmed at the consequences Of a lri.
umph Of the Wings over the Tories in
the approaching struggle. They have
every thing at stake upon the issue, and
although we cannot End fault with them
for using some of their surplus millions
in fighting the battle Of the aristocracy
of the old world at the election polls OF
the United States, yet those who could
be thus purchased with British Gold,
are Traitors not only TO their country
but TO the freedom of man throughout
the world. +rs
| OF late the English Tory Papers
have constantly been in. the habit of
praising ",he energy Of GEN. JACK.
SONS Governments" and they have ali
aalong evinced deep interest in the
great questions now pending upon the
decision Of which the very existence Of
our Republic depends. AS the tine
for final decision approaches it is ev-
ident that their confidence in the sue

they promise themselves fichreward
