Boy KILLED by AN ELEPHANT.-We are in
formed that, during the exhibition of the me-
nagerie in Derby, on Wednesday last, little
boy was killed by being struck with the trunk
of the elephant. He was amusing himself, in
company with other boys, by feeding the ele-
phant with nuts and other articles, when for
the sake of sport he pricked the ANIMAL upon
the trunk with some sharp instrument, which
enraged him, and the boy becoming frightened
withdrew into the crowd. Soon after he ap-
preached towards the elephant, though eau
toned to keep away by the keeper, when he
received a blow on the head, which injured him
so severely that he died.-New Ha0en Journal.
