Annexation Of l,uba.

The project referred to some time since in the
the United States, is pronounced by writer in
the Tribune to be devoid of any foundation in
truth. The writer is Spaniard, who claims TO
be well acquainted with the matter, and he
therefore fatty contradicts the report, and says
that the Spanish Government would consider
such proposition from any foreign government
an insult.

At the late annual meeting Of the British As

with the odd and questionable name of Telo-

said, is nothing more or less than a speaking

Deaesency Of the Crops.

PIcroU, n. s., Oct. l2.
Ii has now been sscertained that the crops Of
the past season in this county will not amount
10 an average. and many say that the food is not
adequate for the support of the people. In Nor
igormish, it is stated that IL all the food raised
there were equally divided, it would not support
all the people for four months. Some Of the
poor settlers will find themselves without bread
at the end of one. But the general opinion
seems to be that we have enough to last till
Spring ana the opening of the navigation.

THRILLING INCIDENT AT THE MKNA6ERIE-No
BILE GALLANTRY OF THE LIOS.-On Thursday OF
last week, during the heavy storm of wind and
rain, while the extensive collection OF wild beasts
in the menageTie of Messrs. Raymond q Waring
were in the village of Norwalk, feature was
introduced in the exhibition not previously an
nounced in the bills. About four in the afternoon
violent gust OF wind blew down the canvass
which forms the large pavilion, completely en-
veloplng the spectators and cages OF animals IN
one common mass of confusion. The accident
happened at the time when Miss Adelna, the
Lon Queen, as she is styled, was performing in
the den of beasts, and as the fright OF the animals
rendered them seemingly uncomfortable, great
fears entertained for the safety Of that inter-
esting young lady. Al this moment a scene of in
describable terror and confusion presented itself
The roaring of the terrified beasts, the screams
of woman and children, and the 'pelting Of the
pitiless stom' without, rendered the scene truly
appalling. The panic, however, was bat mOmen-
tary, as the prompt and energetic measures taken
by the managers soon cleared the wreck, no per-
sons having received the slightest inquiry. But
the most intensely interesting incident remains 10
be told. The uproar among the lions, tigers and
eopards in the performing cage gave rise that they
were devourinS Miss Adelina- In the next instant
the canvass was stripped from the cage, when
tableanx presented itself such would defy eth
poet, painter or sculptor 10 portray with aceu-
racy.
= In the centre of The den, young and beautiful
lion, (Ihe same recently presented 20 Cen Cass
by the Emperor of MorOccO,l in rampant posi-
ton, formed the strong feature OF the picture; be-
meath one of his hindfeet lay stretched the dead
body OF a leopard, and struggling within the nvin-
chile grasp Of his fore paws were the tiger and sur
vying leopard. In the opposite end Of the cage,
tTanshxed statute OF marble, with dauntrss
eye and mslestic attitude, the same as when she
commands the wild beasts TO crouch al her feet
stood the Lion Queen, Miss Adelina. The yourf
lady states that the Two leopards and the tisar
made a simultaneous spring for her al the moment
the canvass was blown down, and were re1ulsed
by the noble gallantry OF the lion, who bounded
between them and protected her in the manner
described. The presence OF the keeper, Mr..
Pierce, soon reduced the savage group TO subiec-
ton, and the Lion Queen was happily relieved
from further participation in this extra perform
ance.-N y. True Sun.
