KILLED By AN ELEPHAsT.--A boy was killed at
New Haven last week, by blow from the trunk of
one of the elephants attached to Raymond & Co.'s
menagerie. It appears several boys were feeding
him with apples during the exhibition and that the
deceased wantonly punched the trunk with sharp
instrument, which enraged the animal. The boy
then left him, but soon after returned and soon
as he approached within reach of the elephants
trunk, he received blow on the head which pros
trated him. and soon after caused his death.

Dear Editors:--Shortly after the Presidential
receptionpn Saturday last, left glorious old Staun

lerday evening at Al O'Clock. The place is crowd
ed to overhowng. | was informed there were here
about no visitors az the time Of my arrival. had
been here but few moments before was called
on by several Democratic and intelligent gentle.
men to detail to them the proceedings had in Saun-
ton on the day before. In a hurried mannerI gave
the information sought 50 far as was able to do so
and in my turn enquired what had been the order
of the day in Harrisonburg on last Friday, and in
fact during The stay of the President and Secretary
Stuart in Harrisonburg. | was greatly pleased 10
hear that they rendered great satisfaction 10 the
numerous persons who called on them.
In fact, 1 heard very intelligent Democratic
gentleman remark, that if Fillmore and Stua ri
should get the Wing nomination for President and
Vice President, any charge that might be preferred
against the present administration, if advocated by
public debates, would be an uphill business. Il
seems lit:le strange TO me, that the Wing Journ-
ais of Virginia do not at once hoist the flags re-
speclively, for Fillmore and Stuart subject ofcourse,
to the acts and doings Of the whole Wing party of
the Union through their Delegates in Conven-
ton TO be assembled.

INTERESTING INCIDENT.

The following incident connected with the
recent trip Of the President to the Virginia

and bold in the expression Of his sentiments. AL
though trembling under the weight Of years and
disease, he had attended carefully to passing events
connected with the political condition of the coun-
try. Always warm friend of the Secretary ofthe
Interior, he had requested him through friend, to
call with the President at his cottage in West
View, on their passage to the Springs. As might
have been expected The request was courleousy
complied with.
The ceremony took place while the feeble and
aged man lay reclining.-on his bed.
"Mr. Fillmore, said he, "ram grateful for
your trouble and condescension in this call, and re-

The President bowed and pressed the hand of
the venerable christian patriot. "My Reverend

you for your ind-feelings and blessings"
All the while, stood the manly form of the Sec.

determination was abandoned by the committee up
on whom the duty had been devolved, and the
President was conducted TO the parlor where

to him. The prudence, discretion. wisdom, and
firmness Of the President in the discharge of the
responsible duties Of his official station in the most
perilous and trying crisis to which our institutions
