open by robbers Friday night with explosion that

hood Its tremendous force may be judged from the fact
that the lock blown pieces the heavy outside iron
door thrown bodily from its hinges and the inside
iron door blown into the SAFE The robbers had tho
roughly accomplished their object Of blowing open the
SAFE but the tremendous racket caused by the explosion
frightened them off before they had obtained any booty

The Wild Man of Africa.

There is an inhabitant Of the woods
by the Caboon river, more 10 be feared
than the African boa'; il is the wild man
of the woeds--not an orang outang, tho
an i,n,ne Use always acting on the
offensive, 'aud ready to attack man.
The bones of his extresnlties are longer
than those OF an ordinary sized, full
grown man. Ihave examined them here
and whilst, son.e mplating the skull, the
Jaws, and their terrible apparatus, really
experienced sort Of shuddering. The
canine teeth are upwards OF two inches
long, aud OF proportlona,e bulk. There
is ridge running from the top OF the
nose backward, over the crown Of the
head; to this is affixed muscle, by
which the living animal draws backward
and forward a most frigh,ful crest OF stiff
hairs; when enraged, or purpo-ing to
inflict injury, he erects them and draws
the crest forward over his eyes, and ut
tiers mos. hideous yells at the same time.
Nothing seems to in,imidadate him
Sometimes he advances, with boughs o.
trees broken off. for the purpose OF con-
cealing his approach and attack, and sud
denly grasps the legs Of the human be-
ing, brings him Instantly to the ground
breaks his bones by blows OF his mighty
arms and hands, and tears the flesh witt
his monstrous teeth
