Thrilling Incident ut the Mcnagerie-Noble
Callantry Of the Lion.

On Thursday of last week, during the
heavy storm Of wind aud rain, while the
extensive collection Of wild beasts in tho
nicnagcrie Of Mcssrs. RAYMOND l. Wnring
were in the village OF Nnrwa!k, n feature
was introduced in the exhibition not previ-
onsly announced in the bills. About 4 -
clock IN the afternoon violent wind blew
down the canvass which forms the largo
pavilion, completely enveloping the spec
taturs and cages Of animals in Que common
mass Of confusion. The accident happen.
ed at the time wien Miss Adelina, the Linn
Queen, as she il styled, was performing in
the den 81 wild beasts and as the fright Of
the animl!s rendered them seemingly un.
comfortable, great fears were entertained
for the safety OF that inierestin. Young la
dy. Al this momcn, n scene of indiscriba-
bic terror and confusion presented itself.
The roaring Of the terrific bensts, the
screams OF women and children, and the
''pc!,ings al The piiilcss storm" without,
rendered the scene truly appalling. The
panic, however, was but moineninry, US
the prompt and energetic measures taken
by the managers soon clcnrcd The wreck,
no person having received the slightest in
jury. But The most interesting incident
remain, 10 be told. The uproar among
the lions. tigers, aud leopards in the per-
forming cage, gave rise TO a repor, that
they were devouring Miss Adeina. In
the next instant the canvass was stripped
from the cnge, when ,ablcaux presented
itself such as would defy either poet, pain
ter. or sculptor to portray with accuracy.
In the centre OF the den Young and bcau-
tiIul lion, (he snme presented to General
Cass BIZ the Emperor OF Morocco.) in the
rampant position, formed the strong fea-
tnre OF the picture: beneath one of his hind
feet lay stretched the dead body Of n Loop
ard, and struggling with the inyincibla
grasp Of his tnro paws were the tiger and
surviving leopard. IN the opposite end Of
the cage, transiixcd as statue of marble.
with danniIcss eyes and ma cstic attitude,
the srme MS when she commands the wild
beasts tn crouch nj her feet. stood the Lion
Queen Miss Adelinn. The young lady
states Tint tho two lcopards and tho tiger
made n simultaneous spring for her al tho
moment the canvass was blown down, and
were rcrused by the noble gallaniry Of
the lion, who bounded between them and
protected her in the manner desctihed.--
The presence Of the keeper, MIR. Pierce,
soon reduced The savage groupe to suhjec-
ton. and the Lion Queen was happily re-
licvcd from farther participation in this
extra periormance.-N. !. Express.
