THRILLING INCIDENT AT THE MENAGERIE.-
NOBLE Gdttdntry Of the Lion.-On Thursday of last
week, during the heavy storm of wind and rain,
while the extensive collection of wild beasts in the
menagariesof Messrs. Raymond & Waring were in
the village OF Norwalk, feature was Introduced
IN the exhibition not previously announced in the
bills. About four in the afternoon violent gust of
WIND blew down the canvas which forms the large
pavilion, completely enveoping the spectators and
cages OF animals in one common mass and confu-
slnn. The accident happened at the time when
Miss Adelina, the Lion Queen as she is STYLED, was
performing in the den of wild beasts and as the
fright of the animals rendered them seemingly I'M
controllable, great fears entertained for the
safety OF that interesting young lady. At this mo-
ment scene of indescribable terror and confusion
presented ITSELF The roaring Of the terrified beasts
the screams of women and children and the "pelt-
ing of the pitiless storm without, rendered the
scene truly appalling. The panic, however, was
but momentary, as the prompt and energetic mea-
sures taken by the managers soon cleared the wreck
no person having received the slightest injury.
But the most intensely interesting incident re-
mains 10 De told. The uproar among the lions tt
gers and leopards In the performing cage gave rise

D1s- The case of the State of Alabama, u.s. Ann
A. Moore, was determined in the Talapoosa circuit
court few days ago. It will be recollected that
she tried two years ago for the murder of her
husband and sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
A new trial was granted and the prisoner declared
not guilty. This is, says the Mobile Tribune, one
among the many instances Of the uncertainty Of
justice. She is well represented as blindfoded. If
the woman had been sentenced to be hanged,
doubtless long before this she would have been far
beyond the reparation of all the jurors in Chris

1s- An important law suit has been commenced
in the U. S. Circuit Court now sitting in PhiIade-
phia, to test the legality of the will of the late Peter
Miller, of Easton, Pa. He left property worth be-
tween two and three hundred thousand dollars pro-
hibiting the sale of his real estate, and requiring
the entire Of the estate TO be loaned to far
mers and mechanics purchasing property, who may
find it inconvenient to borrow from the banks
Should no one desire TO borrow from the fund on
bond and mortgage, then the trustees may expend
the revenues of the estate in erecting and maintain
ing an asylum at Easton for poor and INDECENT wi
dows and single women. The first object of the
bequest, ii will be observed, is to establish great
banking fund In one hundred years it would
amount to above S84, O00, OOO-this at 6 FER cent
would produce an income of about five millions of
dollars, and the capital would absorb all the mo-
neys and property directly or indirectly, Of the
county of Northampton, and half dozen adjoining
counties. Peter Miller, the only heir of deceased
alleges that the residuary devise and bequest in the
will of the deceased are invalid, being an attempt
to create perpetuity, and not having, for its pri-
mary leading object, any charity.

The EXPEDITION IN SEARCH OF SIR J. FRANK
LIN.-We have received from NJ. Mcpherson, of
the Huds0n's Bay Company's service, letter dated
Portage, LaRoche, July &c, 1913. The letter con-
tans the following information relative to Sir John
Richardson, who, it will be remembered is seeking
Sir John Franklin by land, while Sir James Ross
Is engaged in the same service by sea. The last
dates from Capt. Ross are, by way of England, to
the 29th of July. AT that date he was at Davis
Straits in lat. $50 ~ Mr.. Mcpherson says: 81 have
great pleasure in informing you that Sir John
Richardson, DR.. Rae, Mr. Bell, and party met us
on the llth July, as far advanced as Athabasca
Lake. They appeared in good health and spirits :;
and should suppose that Sir John would reach
the coast about the 9th or 29th of the same month
have little doubt, however, that they will, on
account of the lateness of the spring this quarter
meet with considerable detention from ice The
latest news from Pees river brings reports that the
Indians who frequent the coast had met with
Esquimaux, who showed them files and knives
which they said they had received from whites in
two very large canoes, to the eastward of McKen-
zie. Indian rumors are so predetermined, that it is
utterly impossible to vouch for their accuracy but
at the same time, it is not improbable that such
should have happened" We have further advices
by other channels from the far West and regret to
learn that the Hudson's Bay Company's bark
Vancouver" was wrecked on the bar of the CO.
lumbia river, on the 7th May last, and that her
valuable cargo, consisting of English manufactures,
was lost 1t is satisfactory, however, to know, that
the crew and passengers were all saved, and that
the ship and cargo were covered BY Insurance.

FoRGINs AND SwINDLING IN LowELL-A case
of wholesale swindling and forging, understand,
says the Lowell Courier, has just come to light in
this city. The operator is well-known as an old
resident, and long respected pious, moral, good
and useful citizen. 1t seems, however, that his in
tegrity was not sound and he has disappeared,
after swindling, forging, and borrowing to very
large amount. The sums already known, reach the
aggregate Of some ten or fifteen thousands in this
city, and may exceed that. Rumor also names some
twenty thousands, as being in the hands of banks
and shavers in Boston. The name Of the guilty
party we suppress for the present.
