Richmond, Va, had occasion short time since, to
drive his pretty cousin Fanny down to Windsor in
a gig. Little Charley, brother Of Fanny accom-
panied and sat between them in the gig but as he
was only five OF six years of age of course he was
considered nobody Unfortunately, however, the
urchn bad got a new hat that very day, of which
be was exceedingly proud. Finding, on his arrival
at Windsor, that it had sustained some injury du-
ring the journey, he rushed to his mamma to com

retorted with the following
somewhat extensive dealer of Cincinnati,

At the gate he announced himself and the place of

Cincinnati, which was divided from the rest by a
wall He heard an awful noise, Of hammers saws
and chissels, and such like, and had to make three
or four attempts before he could get the keeper to
hear him. He was rough looking fellow, with
cast-iron claws and smoky breath, whose voice
sounded like the letting off of steam steamboat.

A GREAT SHARK. - The Cape Cod fishermen
have caught large and rayenous shark. He was
harpooned, when he attempted to break the cord,
and failing in the attempt, he turned boldly round
and made a furious attack upon the boat, which he
seized by The gunwae and held fast. An old salt
on board drove lance three times through his body,
and though each blow was mortal, he held on full
hour. He was sixteen feet in length. In his stomach
was found number of human bones, part Of ne
gro's skull, with the wool still adherng piece of
red flannel shirt and boot partly digested The
name of D. Brown was distinctly visible on the
boot. Sharks are not common in that neighbour
