& Co.'s menagerie, became cxaspcrated agninst his
keeper and committed various acts OF violence.

quaintancc with Columbus was only short was en-
ployed after o'clock In pairing his feet and other
wise preparneihim for exhibition in the afternoon

without any injury 10 the persons who performed
that daring and dangerous nct-the animals being
lreadiuy alarmed at the screeches Of Columbus and
his ulgoyefnabe fury. LII was truly fearful time;
for all the animals from the king Of the forrest down
TO the most insignificant reptiles, were struck with
CONSERVATION and awe, and each gave vent, in lis
own peculiar manner, to the dread that pervaded IT,
This noble elephant, seeing Mr.. Warning and his
men taking measures 10 secure him, rushed towards

II There was a time when the agriculture oil
Scotland crept tmidly along the banks Of rivers and
locks summed herself in the bottom of valleys and
in sheltered glades and nooks and reaped her scant
and sickly crops beneath the protection of armed
men; more peaceful time came, and she still, for
many generations fingered out the unfruitful years
by the sides Of many streams or wandered idly
around the skirts of wild moors and myrasses; now
we see her, with ample harvests crowned" plant
Ing her firm footsteps on the quakng bog-boldly
climbing the steep mountain sides-and exhibiting,
the tops of the highest hills, her countless focks
Of sheep and her sheaves of golden rejoicing
