THE ELEPHANT IN TROUBLE.
FROM THE UTICA GAZETTE.


An affecting incident occurred Tuesday last in St.
townsville, at the breaking of bridge which two
elephants belonging to the circus and menagerie Of
Messrs. Sands, Quick Co., crossing Ii appears
that through the carelessness Of their keepers allowing
both elephants to go the bridge together their weight
caused it to break down, when the two noble animals
precptated from height of fifteen feet to the bed
Of the river among the rocks njuring the female J1lie
severely that it for long time impossible to get
her out OF the water.
The male Romeo not being so much hurt soon in
condition to be removed but his attachment toward his
unfortunate companion great that efforts could
induce him to leave her in the time of trouble Various
out effect Separating them alive seemed almost impos
sibe. At length large powerful mastif obtained
raj years ago from the farm of Henry Clay Lexington
by whom the elephants had always allowed themselves to
be driven and Of whom the female very much in fear
brought and set upon Romeo for the purpose of
getting him away from his mate.
Notwithstanding her broken limbs and dread of the dog
the faithful Juliet made desperate effort to protect her
partner in doing which the position Of the wounded
animals became much changed to enable the keep
with assistance to drag them the beach. Finding
necessary to leave them behind the company caused
shed to be built them the bank Of the stream
where the devoted friends viii remain until their wounds
are healed.
These elephants were captured together in Asia ten
years ago and brought to England where they pur-
chased by the celebrated Wombe and taught to perform
together in their dramatic pieces at all the principal thea
tres in Europe They subsequently became the property
of Messrs. H. Sands Quick Co., with whom they have
always travelled in this country and known far and
WIDE Romeo though much stifened and bruised is not
dangerously hurt and win probably be continued in the
exhibitions but poor Juliet is past all surgery, having
broken her shoulder and otherwise being sadly crippled
she cannot long survive her injuries and will never
march again.

THE COMMON FLY.

correspondent of the National Intelligencer says
" Having observed that the common fly, which used to
crowd into houses and stores and blacken ceilings
from time mmemorial at this of the year, has,
for two three years past made its exit during the
month Of September, earer-a phenomenon which
has appeared to rather mysterous-perhaps some
of your numerous readers may give for
their disappearance"
The appearance and disappearance of the common fly
regulated by the weather For some years past we
have had late springs and early falls During the present
there have been several white frosts which have
caused the flies to disappear to diminish very much in
number. On the approach of cold weather the fly goes
into dormant state collecting together behind window
blinds, shutters, &c. where they remain in feless
dton until they revive in the ensuing summer, when
millions Of them appear spring suddenly into existence
Besides those which remain during the winter, others
must be Matched from the egg but so they must come
forth the matured fly have recollection of hav
ing infant fly. 1t may be that their first appear
ance is in the shape Of a worm minute animacule.
We know not, but we believe it certain that flies, like
snakes remain through winter in lfeess state and
be revived by the warmth of spring The experiment
be easily tried and if it succeed may not the same
result be produced the frozen human body by the
pcaton of heat or eecricy May not life be only sus-
pended in the man as well in the fly reptile We
have heretofore referred to the fact that frozen hsh will
revive If exposed the action Of the sun and there is
nothing inconsistent with philosophy in supposing that
frozen individual be terminated by similar process

Hoos.-The packing is approaching, and until
quite recently prices have had upward tendency
Within few days, however, reaction has been per-

cline in the hog products hand in all the leading

high prices has materially fallen off The prospect that
there will be full average number Of hogs all through
