make immediate use Of the "Jew David's or He
brew Plaster" as single trial will place it beyond

4 Man Killed by an EIenhanf.

We learn by gentleman who came passenger last
evening on the steamer Princess, from Baton Rouge
that the large male elephant of Messrs Hopkins &
Co.'S managerie, on Saturday morning killed the per-
son who had been for some length Of time employed
TO take charge of it. 1t appears that the two ele-
plants and camel had been sent in advance of the
other animals, en- route for Clinton, tie female ele-
phant and the camel chained together. When about
four miles from Baton Rouge the male elephant
refused to cross small bridge, the keeper who was
on foot, procured horse, Zone which the elephant
not accustomed to) for the purpose of driving it
over, and in attempting TO mount, the horse slyed,
and threw the in the road. The elephant imme-
dately rushed upon him, caught him upon its tusks,
and threw him forty or fifty feet in the air. which was
repeated great number Of times the tusks freaGentlv
passing through his body. 1t then carried tie body
from the road towards the woods tossing it in the air
at intervals, until it fell between two fallen trees
which saved it from further violence The nfuriated
animal then returned to the road where the female
elephant and camel had been chained TO a tree by
another keeper and rushed upon them his tusks pass
ing through the camel, knocking down the female and
breaking the chain in two. The enraged animal
made Of towards the woods. carrying the camel by
its trunk and throwing If at intervals in the air with
lis tusks. The other portion Of the caravan now
coming the bridge, the elephant returned and made
demonstrations Of attack upon 1t, when fire arms
were brought into requisition. A number of shots
were fired upon it, but without any effect Word was
then sent to the U. S. garrison, and thirty
forty Of the soldiers sent to despatch it with
their muskets. The neghbors also turned out with
their rifles and SHOT guns and fifty sixty shots
fired into rather upon him. for the balls were
frequently attened up upon striking. and fell the
ground. At length 1t was determined upon to send
the garrison for field piece to despatch him, when
one Of the keepers procuring spear mounted horse
and succeeded in wounding the elephant until he
caused it to scream with pain and finally to yield to
subiccton, when it was driven OF with the tie bal
ance of the animals. This is the same animal which
killed one of its keepers some two three years ago
at Algiers, opposite this city, and was only stayed
from further mischief after fourteen shots had been
fred into it.
