Death of Brigadier General Stephen W.

querer Of New Mexico and California, is
now no more. His disease has had fatal
termination, as was feared, and he died

service 10 his country. He entered it in
1912, was at the famous battle of Queens.
town, and from the rank of Leutenan. rose
to that Of Brigadier General. But the
most remarkable service that he perform
ed. was thar in New Mexico and Califor.
mia, the former of which, by the celebrity Of
his movements, and the excellence of his
plans, he entered, and received the CON-
p!ete submission of the inhabitants without
a single battle; and the latter, joined with
the naval forces under Stockton, he con-
qusred after several hard fought and sue
cessful battles. His march from Santa
Fe 10 California was one Of the most daring
acts that heroism could undertake. With
only few followers, between twenty and
and thirty, he had several engagements
with an enemy greatly superior in force,
through all of whom he cut his way sue
cessfully, though severely wounded in one
Of the encounters. He was brave and
chivalric officer, was prudent as heroic, and
the army and his country loose one Of its
most gallant spirits in his death. Congress,
Notwithstanding the opposition made in O
high quarter in the Senate, did ON act o
Justice when it confirmed his nomination
to his present rank. Gen. Kearny wa!
born in Newark, New Jersey, about tht
wear 1913, and was thus in his 55th veal
at the time of his death.

The Northwest.

The Journal: of last night, comedies the
entire northwest, consisting of Ohio, Indi,
ana, Illinois, Michigan. Wisconsin and
Iowa, giving 80 electoral votes, to Cass
and Butler.
In carrying the northwest, ,unbroken, the
candidates oflhe democracy, even though
defeated, have cause 10 be proud. For the
first time, two of these States, Iowa and
Wisconsin, vote for President, and they
give their maiden votes to men who have
ever stood forward in defence of the rights
and interests of the West, and with them
vote the entire number of States covered
by what used to be called the territory north
west Of the river Ohio.
With the early history Of this region,
Gen. Cass was identified, and the vote
shows that his services were not forgotten
by the old pioneers and their descendants.

Thrilling Incident at the Menagerie.

NOBLE GALLANTRY OF THE LIoN.-On
Thursday Of last week, during the storm of
wind an rain, while the extensive collec.
ton Of wild beasts in the menagerie of
Messrs. Raymond & Waring were in the
village of Norwalk, feature was ntrodu-
ced in the exhibition, not previously an
nounced in the bills. About four in the
afernoon,a violent gust of wind blew down
the canvass which forms the large pavill.
ion, completely enveloping the spectators
and the cages Of animals in one common
mass Of confusion. The accident happen
ed when Miss Adelinn, the Lion Queen, MS
she is called, was performing in the den of
wild beasts, and as the fright of the ami
mails rendered them seemingly uncontroll-
nble, great fears were entertained for the
safety of that interesting young lady. AT
this moment scene OF indescribable ter.
ror presented itself the roaring Of the terri
fled beasts, the screams of women and chill
dren,and the peltings oflhe 'pitiless storm, ~
without, rendered the scene truly appalling.
The panic, however was but momentary,
as the prompt and energetic measures taken
by the managers soon cleared, no person
having received the slightest injury.
But the most intensely interesting Incl.
dent remains TO be told. The uproar q.
mong the lions, tigers and leopards in the
performing cage gave rise TO report that
they were deveuring Miss Adelina. In
the next instant the canvass was stripped
from the cage, when q tnbleaux, presented
itself, such as would defy either poet, paint
er, or sculptor, to portray with accuracy.
In the centre Of the den, young an beau
tiful lion, in rampan: position formed the
strong feature of the picture beneath one
Of his hind feet lay stretched the dead body
of leopard, and struggling in the invinci'
bieEgrasp of his fore paws, were the tiger
and the surviving leopard. In the oppo-
site end Of the cage, transiixed, as statue
OF marble, with dauntless eye and majestic
attitude, the same as when she commands
the wi d beasts to crouch at her feet, stood
the Lion Queen-Miss Adelina. The
young lady states that the two leopards and
the tiger made a simultaneous spring for
her at the moment the canvass was blown
down, and were repulsed by the noble gal
lsntry Of the lion, who bounded between
them, and protected her in the manner de-
scribed. The presence Of the the keeper,
Mr.. Pierce, soon reduced the savage group
to subjection, and the Lion Queen was
happily relieved from further participa-
tion in this extra performance.-Con,
