An ELEruANT's DoiSGs.-We learn by gem
tlemnn OF this city, who at Lockport on Satur.
day, that at noon ofihat day an elephant. belonging
TO a menagerie exhibiting there, walked out Of his
tent toward span ofhorses attached TO wagon
some twenty rods of. The horses took fright as
the huge beast approached them, broke loose. and
ran few rods 10 the angle Of fence; the elephant
followed capsized the wagon and threw the horses
some Two rods over the fence. One Of the horses
rose with several broken ribs and managed to es-
cape his assailant, which fell upon the other with his
tusks tore out his entrails, and continued to toss
him along the fence some ten rods or more.
At this time the keeper. who at dinner when
the elephant escaped from the tent, came up and
called the animal by name. The elephant immedi-
ately obeyed the word and followed the keeper TO
an orchard about hundred rods Off where he was
secured by strong chains made fast TO the trunk OF
full grown tree Just informant left in the
afternoon, he heard that the elephant hand uproo,-
ed the tree to which he was fastened, and had in
jured man but learned no particulars The rage
Of the elephant, il is said, was caused by some TO.
bacco concealed inthe food that some OF the by
ISLANDERS offered him, People cannot be too eau
tious how they riae in such way with an elephant.

THE EARTnouAKE.-This morning, few min.
utes (say three minutes) before O'clock an earth
quake Of very considerable violence was experience
ed in this city and vicinity. We have heard from
Cambridge, Newton, Lynn, Nahan,, Salem. Bever
iy, Westboro' and Worcester. and in these places
the houses were shaken, windows and doors rat
tied, bells were rung. and the slumbering were
walked up The vibrations do not appear 10 have
been preceded or attended by that rumbling sound
which usually accompanies earthquakes, The
sound, as il appeared TO us, was more like that pro-
duced by the sudden aud violent motions Of per
son in an adjoining room, or in the chamber over
head. Some say there we're two or three successive
shocks, but to US il rather appeared like one con.
tinued jar or shock Of considerable violence The
magnetic intensity at the Observatory at Cam
bridge, was greatly disturbed by the shock. The
vibrations appeared TO be in a direction north and
south, and 10 have continued for second or two.

the intentions ofihe young couple the father direct
ed the clerk to take passage in ofihe New York

business for him there. The young lady learning
the designs Of her father determined to Illustrate
his plans. The young gentleman was informed Of
her intentions, and the lovers resoried the follow
ing expedieni 10 accomplish their object She took
her stand in the telegraphc Office in Boston, and he
did the same, with magistrate in the Office IN N.

she told him she was already the wife of Mr. b. and
the manner in which the ceremony was performed

stated is taking measures to contest the validity OF
