EgM bef,Deen az Elephant and a RhinOccrOs

Fight JeiWeen az Elephant and a Rh'noceros
l-RhinOceros ricio,ious-Esc0pe 10 Me Woods,
5c.-A slip from the office of ihe Johnsto,cn
Republican, states that on Saturday night,
while Waring q Raymond's Mcnagerie was
at Galway, the elephant Columbus broke of
some of the fastenlngs to the cage of the rhi-
noceros, thus letting him loose. A fight i'm
mediately took place between the two animals,
in which the rhinoceros was tn rown to the
ground. Upon rising, the rhinoceros gave the
elephant several upward thrus,s with his prodigi-
ous horn wounding him SO severely that he is not
ex pected to recover The rhinoceros then es-
capped to the woods, where he was pursued by
about fifty persons, but up to last evening he
had not been captured. A large reward is
offered for him, if captured alive.
This reads very much like a hoax.-N Y,

Paris. a Paris paper gives the following
account of the probable death Of about lO(
prisoners in that fearful place
"The prisoners detained in the dangerous
of the barracks in the Reu de Tournon manage
to tunnel through to the catacombs, which ex-
tend under Paris. About 100 of them enter
ed the catacombs, but the others remained
fearing,hey might be lost in the darkness amids
the intricate passages which extend for mile:
under ground. These unfortunate person,
have not been seen or heard of since. They
have not made their escape from the cataeomb.
by the usual places Of ingrcss and egress, anc
the searches that have been made after then
have been hitherto unsuccessful. Torches
however, have been leii burning in the cata
combs, to direct them on their way, but IN,
probability is tina, the whole Of them will per
sh from starvation"

pondent of the Philadelphia American asserts,
upon the authority ola Democratic member Of
Congress, that Cass himself was privy to the
base transaction ofpublishing the two different

he is excited swell out as large as child s
