been surpassed by the G. lords of creations"
themselves. The incident occurred between
lion and Van Amburgh, in the little
episode Of play which usually closes the
performances. Van Amburgh had been
through one cage and had entered the
second, containing lion, tiger and two
leopards, and after a game or two, threw
himself across the lion, the other monster
resting its head against Its cheek; in a
few moments, changing his position to sport
with the leopards, the lion raised its head,
and without any apparent effort or show Of
Van Amburgh by the side, his capacious
jaws seeming for the moment to have been
sunk in the body of the man. The sudden
ness Of the attack, and the pain inflicted,
caused Van Amburgh to utter subdued
exclamation, and the lion in few seconds
letting 90 his hold, Van Amburgh rose and
withdrew from the cage. He afterwards
walk out 10 the carriage, alleging that the
hurt was trifling he was, however, at the
suggestion of his friends, attended to his
hotel by DR.. Charles Bell Gibson, who upon
examination found the mark Of the animals
teeth, two on each side indented in the flesh,
and some slight scatches, as If caused by
the gliding of the body from the closin.
mouth of the lion. The injury is believed
to be quite superficial, though perhaps
little inconvenience will be felt for day q,
two. The cause Of the incident is no doub'
in the fact that Mr. Van Amburgh has nor
been with the animals dlring the winter,
he having been sick IN New York he j.,
not entirely recovered yet, or it is highly
probable thar the lion would have got the
worse Of the encounter. The animals had
evidently not got used to him yet and this.
together with the cold, which seemed to
make them rather indisposed for play. is n"
doubt the cause Of an occurrence that in all
probability will never take place again.

In her last years her mind was darkened
by frebuent shocks Of paralysis, but with all
the light of reason which remained, she
was evidently aoo;timg to be removed; and

to the grave, like ripe shock of corn in
full season; and we sorrow not as those

OBITUARY.

DIED at his residence near this place
on Friday the 9th inst, Mr.. r. H. LESLY
DIED, at Oakwood ON the 9Th instant,
Mrs. MARY CAIN, aged 65 years and
some months. The deceased was native
of Caroline County Virginia, and was de-
scended on the maternal side from some of
the best families Of that State. In 1796,
she removed with ber father to this district,
where she has ever since resided. Having
married at very early age, she was left
while yet young, a widow with six children,
in which situation she had need of the for
tude and energy which she so admirably
displayed. No one could have more fully
exemplifed the scripture representation of
widow indeed :" but though broken in
spirit, she was not cast down. Every one
who knew her, Gun testify to the modest Dig
nifty of her manners, and to the cheerful
hospitality of her house and heart.
Her religious character was without
blemish. More than twenty-five years she
was member of the Presbyterian Church,
and we can safely say, that she never was
rock of offence, or stumbling block to any ;
but ever had heart and hand deeply inte-
rested in the church, and cause she so much
loved. OF her uncommon devotion as pa
rent much might be said; but that is chron-
icled in the affectionate remembrance Of de-
scendants Of the third and fourth genera.

A letter from London, published in thu
New York Herald saws:

A letter from London, published in the
New York Herald says:
A very remarkable obituary, however, of
great interest to all lawyers, and all who
are interested in legal history in tho United
States, / cannot omit. On December l7th,
1916, died in Court of Queens Bench in
Westminster Hall, London, the last of his
race, now departed and gone forever, "The
Writ Of Right" On that day the last trial
of writ of right was had; henceforth this
ancient mode of claiming lands in England
is abolished. 1t was conducted in ancient
feudal form before the grand Assizes. The
case was Selby, demandant, versus Lowndes
tenant. The verdict was" The tenant
hath more right than the demandant." The
event is historically interesting to eve.
ry legal mind; perhaps it is greatly to be la
mented that the process of determination
has been adopted by the English Legisla-
tgre on legal matters, instead of the process
of improvement. This action Of writ of
right was in many respects better than the
action Of ejectment; its only fault was be-
ing too prolix, too expensive, and too pro-
tracted, But these faults were accidents Of
the action, and did not necessarily belong
to #; might have been topped off; it might
have been made as expeditions and ready
as an action of election, and then valuable
mode of asserting right would have been
received in the courts Of law. | believe
that in some of the States of the Union, the
action Of the writ of right still exists. In
England it is gone 1dead-forevcr, on the
day and date aforesaid. MS
