them an unknown animal, which seemed
to have dropped from the skies, or tc
have been thrown Up from the deep, SO
utterly foreign was it in aspect and mag
nitude from any thing which has been
seen in these parts before.
After much speculation it was ascer-
tained that it was an elephant real el-
ephant, but where it came from or how
it got in the woods of Brandywine hun
dred, was the question. 1t was first
discovered by black boy, who was
looking for his cows at early dawn.
Standing on bank, and gazing over the
meadows, his eye was suddenly struck
by the appearance OF the monster with
in few feet of him, slowly turning
round a thick hedge. Blacky's fright
may readily be imagined. He gave one
look at the terrible animal, turned and
ran over the fields, yelling as if a legion
was behind him.
The Irishmen working on the rail
road, being attracted by the cry, came
to the spot, and after giving vent to sun
drv exclamations at the wonderful baSte,
undertook to capture him by laying hold
of his snout, and lead him to a stable or
shanty. But that was easier tried than
done; his majesty resisted every at
tempt to clutch his probocis, lifting it in
very ominous way, and it is said, oc-
casionally lending his assailants rap
which reminded them sweetly of the
shillelas of Donnybrook fair. Finding
that the animal would neither be led nor
driven, it was determined to secure him
where he was-and they went to work
and impounded the estray by building
fence around him. The elephant be-
longed to the menagerie which was ex-
hlbited here last week. On Wednesday
night, the whole collection of animals
was transported across the river in the
Hucklebery steamer, to be exhibited at
Salem on Thursday.
The smaller elephant had been taken
across, and was fastened to a tree on the
Jersey shore, while the steamboat came
back for another load. On their return
they found the animal had escaped from
his fastening, and was missing. 1t swan
tie Delaware river in the night, where
IL is about mile and half across, and
the next morning found itself in Bran

AGRICULTURAL.

FEED FOR CArrLE.-A little town
near Frankfort in Germany, is noted for
its remarkably fine cattle. They are fed
in the following manner: Straw is cut
short by means of a straw cutter; it is
then put into caldron, with the addition
of potatoes and carrots, and boiled till it
forms kind ofjelly; this mixed with a
sufficient quantity of water, is served to
the beasts. The animals so fed require
no water, and so well do they thrive on
this mess, that they are, notwithstanding
the summer labor, ready for the butcher
at the end ofthe year.
All sorts of grain which is intended to
be given to cattle or horses, is best
ground. In order to obtain the greatest
benefit from it, boil it in water, and while
hot add cut straw, stirring it well, and
when cool it will be fit to feed out

A PARODY-THE SEA.


The sea the sea! Oh me oh me
The pail--be quick quail-Tm sick
Pm sick as can be:
cannot sit, Icannot stand; E.l
prithee, steward, lend hand, -- s.F
To my cabin III go-to my berth will HE,
And like Graded infant lie.
Pm on the sea-I'm on the sea!
| am where / would never be;
With the smoke above, and the steam below,
And sickness whereso'er go:
If storm should come, no matter, wot;
To the bottom I'd 90 as soon as not.
Ilove, oh ! how love to ride
In neat post chaise, with couple OF bays,
And pretty girl by my side;
But oh /! to swing amidst fire and foam.
And be steamed like mealed potato at home:
And to feel that no soul cares more for your
woe
Than the paddles that clatter as onward
they 60.
The oceans wave ne'er moved o'er,
But loved my donkey more and more,
And homeward flew to her bony back,
Like a truant boy, or madman's sack;
And mother she was, and is to me-
For >was-an ass-to go to sea-
The fields were green, and blue the morn,
And still as mouse the little house
Where I-where was born;
.and my father whistled, my mother smiled,
While my donkey bray'd in accents mild
Nor ever was heard such an outcry of joy
As welcomed to life the beautiful boy
have lived, since then, in calm and strife,
With my peaceful donkey and termagant wife
With spur for one, and a whip for the other
| Yet meier have wish'd to change with
another:
And a proverb of old will apply well to me
"Who is born to be hang'd will not die or
the sea.'

DEATH STRuGGLE.-At Milton, Penn

DEATH STRuaGLE.-At Milton, Penn
sylvania. two deer were found closely
inlerlocked by the horns. One was
dead, and the other nearly so, from in
ability to procure food or water A
sportsman discovered them, and after
killing the live deer, cut off the heads Of
each. Even then it was impossible to
disentangle the horns, and they were
sawed off, with a portion of the skulls,
and preserved as they were found. This
is, we believe, the third instance of the
kind which has happened within our rec
objection. The animals probably be-
came entangled in fighting, and their
shortsighted animosity' as that of men
often does, resulted in their mutual de-
struction.
