FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE GEOLOGICAL
GARDENs.-A Liverpool correspondent of the New
York Herald writes as follows: 4" About the mo-
ment of the Cambria's departure last Saturday, a
dreadful occurrence taking place at the Zoolog-
ical Gardens near this town. As one of the keep
ers was engaged in his usual Office of cleaning out
the den of the elephant Raiah, he struck the ami
NAL blow with the broom to make him move.
The animal took no notice, and the blow was re-
peated with severity, which Infatuated Rajah
the tmbers which form the den, hurting him so Sc
verely that the elephant retired he fell back on
the ground. The elephant had not done with him,
but again approached, and placed his great foot,
which measures four feet around it, upon his body
crushing him to death. The proprietor, who was in
the gardens at the time, determined upon having
the animal destroyed, and upon representing the
case at the barracks, obtained the services of thirty
six rihemen and to prepare for the worst for 1t was
alleged that the elephant was mad, two field pieces
also two captains accompanying the men. A dose
of two ounces of prussic acid was administered to
the animal, which scarcely produced any etect-at
least he soon overcame it. Twelve of the soldiers
then fired but without effect and upon twelve adj
ditonal shots being fired, one only took effect 1t
entered under the fOTe-sh0ulder-the animal reeled
and fell dead Van Amburgh, who was present at
the execution said that only that ball took eff
feet Raiah was a noble animal-the largest ele-
phant in the kingdom, and cost the proprietor OF the
gardens ECO eleven years ago. He was thirty hye
wears old, was ten feet high, and weighed nearly
four tons This was the second keeper he killed,
but it was, nevertheless pity to destroy SO rare an
animal"

ANECDoTE OF FINN THE CoMEDIAN.-f1nn,
the celebrated comedian, who was either burned
or drowned by the wreck of the ill-fated steamer
Lexington, was wont to say that IN Turkey people
should act like turkeys, and that when a man got
to Buffalo, he got to be buffalo. Once upon
time Finn, who was playing at the Arch Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, madea bet that he could
not make pun upon the word " Baltimore" The
actor was at his wits ends, but during the evening,
while enacting the part of 'Mawworm," he SAID to
his hearers, g My dear friends, I've been exhaust
