THE HYeua.

Mr. Bruce says that the hyenas in Abyssinia
very numerous, and 50 bold that they come into the
streets of the cities. From evening till towards
morning. they go bowling about, and seeking the
carcasses OF dead animals. Mr.. Bruce had several
armed men with him. when he was obliged to walk
IN the evening, and very often they had to stop and
kill one or more of these animals in their own de-
fence. One night, while he was very busy, he
thought he heard something pass behind him TO-
wards his bed but on looking around nothing.
Having finished what he was about, he went out for
few minutes, and on his return was met with a
a pair of large, blue eyes, glazing at him in the
dark. When light was brought, he found hyena
standing the head of his bed with two or three
large punches of candles in his mouth. Mr.. Bruce
struch him with pike spear, on which the crea-
tre dropped his candles and attacked him with the
greatest ferocity. His servant coming in at this
moment, the fierce beast dispatched without
doing further mischief. This hyena had stolen into
Mr.. Bruce's room while his door happened to be
open, and had hid himself behind his bed, to wait
for an opportunity of stealing and running away
with his candles, which he had smelled. DR.. Spar
man tells curious story of a hyena, which was
told him at the Cape OF Good Hope. One night
the soldiers had feast near the Cape, when one Of
them who the trumpeter, drank so much that
he could not stand up. His companions not want
ing him in the room with them, carried him out of
doors and laid him down by the side Of the house,
to get cool and sober. The trumpeter lay there and
went to sleep, when hyena came along and think

was some time before the man awoke, so as to
know the danger of his situation. When he did 30
he found himself on the back of the hyena, WHO
was making off towards the mountain with him, as
fast as possible. Being horror-struck at finding
himself in the power of the ferocous beast, his tear
brought him to his senses, and Selling his trumpet,
which hung about his neck, he sounded an alarm
The beast thinking he had only dead man, was
much frightened at the sound of the trumpet, a.
the man was at his situation, 70 that dropping his
prey, they scampered away from each other as fast
possible. 1t is not probable that any other mah

| CINCINNATI HoTELs.--A short time since we
noticed by the Cincinnati papers, that several of
the leading public houses had advanced the price on
uleps' and smashes - by the following extract
from the Cincinnati Times, our readers will per-
ceive that the 'ciy fathers consider retaliation
iustifable:
Mr.. Sawyer wished license to RinggOld " Hughes
to keep the ST. Charles reduced from $3.50 to $50,
because both the propretors had large families, and
one of them, though healthy looking man, was
sick great deal.
MIR. Bodily moved that the price be raised TO s4OO
Tie had drank there. They sold great deal of
liquor, but did not keep that which was good, and
furthermore, they had raised the price.
MIR. Griffin was i'll favor Of this motion. They
had raised the price of drinks SO per cent. He
thought they could pay 800 if one of the propre-
tors was sickly man. 1t was leading house
"A No. l. They kept more bar-keepers than any
house in town they now sold juleps at Is CENTS
He had been picked up there recently on COM
mon = smash" He took friend in, thinking he
would get couple of drinks, and when he came
to pay Tor them, he discovered that account of
raise in the price he had not change enough sot
the bill, and had to break note he had dedicated
to another purpose. Another time he took some
friends i'll to get juleps: they called for half
dozen, and the bill was 80 cents. That made a big
hole in his dollar. Atsuch rates it would not take
long to raise 40O He was glad that if coffee-houses
did raise on liquor, Council had the power to put up
licences. On ''smashes - the st. Charles had
raised 100 per cent. He would inform the members
Of the Board, that about this drink called smash !"
there was great deal of humbug. 1t was no bet
ter than brandy and sugar. only 1t had little mint
in it. If they would put up the price, it out
of the community, and tariff ought to be had that
would equalize. 1t little too bad, he thought,
that members who had labored the hardest to keep
down licenses should have to pay an extra price,
The Bill Tell had been smart-they had got a
license and then had put up the price. OF the
three cottee-houses in town which had raised the
price, the St. Charles the best able to pay we'll
They had six billiard tables in this house. Men got
in there and played till they were warm and tired
it made them dry; he knew how dry it made a
man. 1t we'll known that at these coffee houses
they always charged double price when they took
liquor away from the bar. Take all these things
together he thought they could make raise of 500
Mr.. Griffin, notwithstanding all the arguments
to the contrary, still thought the license ought be
800. The loation Of the ST. Charts was the best
i'll the city 1t in the vicinity of the Mayors
office, many lawyers offices, and several promi-
nent printing offices.
After some further debate, the licence was, on
motion, granted at $500.
