SEEING THE ELEpHANr-Passenge
who travel by the New York and New Ha-
ven cars have a grand chance of "seeing
the elephant" Going from New York, the
cars pass the farm of P. T. Barnum, a mile
or so before reaching Bridgeport, Ct. On
that farm, and in plain view from the rail
road, an elephant may be seen every pleasant
day attached to large plow, and doing up
the "sub soiling" in first rate style, at the
rate Of about three distinct double horse
teams. The animal is perfectly tractable.
His attendant rides him, while a colorcd
man guides the plow. The elephant is also
used for carting large loads Of gravel in a
cart arranged purposely for him, and in
drawing stone on boat or drag, in piling
up wood, timber, &C., and in making him
self generally useful.-New York Tribune.
