ment has been raked up by some Industrious
searcher among old newspapers, from file ola
New York city paper
| Colonel Fremont's Nondescript, or WooUy
| Horsel will be exhibited for few days at the cor
ner of Broadway and Reade street, previous to his
departure for London.

Sheepll
Is the full SAFE of the HorSel
Has the launches of deer, the tail of an elephant,
fine cured wool of camers hair color, and easily
bounds twelve or fifteen feet high! Naturalists

ing to man who has gone from Washington to
California and back, "by construction" in one
jump, and charged $4,000 for the feat.
