"SEEING THE ELEPHANT, !,

The Schuylkill Haven Map relates the
following: After the exhibition of the
| slenagerie on Wednesday last, the ele-
phants were chained TO different logs to
remain over night. About two o'clock
the next morning, the smaller one, TIppo
Sultan, attracted by some eatables in the
cellar Of d neighboring house, moved to
that direction, bringing with him the log
to which he was chained. After breaking
in the cellar doors, discovered that the
Vegetables and other things so much TO be
desired by him, could not be reached in
that manner, and he very gently com
menced to move The house a little out OF
his way. This operation awakened the
family, who arose 10 see the cause OF their
disturbance upon ascertaining, the decamp-
ed to inform the keeper that they had .'seen
The elephant" and desired that they might
also see him taken 10 the old stand. The
keeper arrived but not in time to save the
house from being utterly demolished, as it
had been entirely moved from off, its foun-
dation. Tippo Sultan was then better
secured for the remainder OF the night.
