Quite ~ A. air.=whffe the caravan was
crossing the Cayuga bridge on Monday LAST
on its way to this village, and when the Ele.
plant had got within some twenty or thirty
rods of this end, one Of the string pieces
gave way. letting the animal into the wnTef.
1t is stated that several boys, who CHANGED
TO be walking on the ends Of the blanks.
were tossed completely over the Elephants

miraculous Escape.-Mr. De Gar, a highly
respectable citizen of Augusta, precipifated
himself, head foremost, from the third story
window of the Central Hotel, on Wednesday
night last, and although he fell on pile Of
wood, escaped aninjured. He was at the time
laboring under the idea that he had taken the
yellow fever in Augusta, (Which place he
had recently left) and wished to destroy him
self. He was taken back to his chamber,
but with that cunning so peculiar to insane
persons. eIuded the vigilance of those placed
to watch him, and again jumped out Of, the.
same window, alightMg on his head. He did
not escape as before, as his head was dread
fully bruised, and several bones broken. Il
is, however, thought he will recoyer.-Atheny
