A SEA LION, weighing about one thousand
pounds, recently made his escape from the Pa
cifc Museum, San Francisco. The Bulletin
says
1t is a curious sight TO see man in bag
running race. but hardly SO curious as to see
a sea lion dragging and showing and twisting
for he does all when he moves his immense and
unwiedy mass painfully along on the hard
ground The spectacle Of course attracted a
large crowd, and the animal progressed to their
delight and wonder about 200 yards, when a
person versed in sea-lion philosophy caught up
a stick and kept the monster at bay until sew
eral ropes were fastened about his body. The
wagon was then driven up, and, with the aid of
large number of able bodied men, the fish,
"if fish he can be called who fish is not" was
lifted bodily back into his cage; and he was
soon after safely deposited in the new place OF
exhibition, where Samson" Lady Washing.

THE undersigned take this mode
MsssS OF notifying the public that he has just
IsSs5H Improved this Establishm ente and he
Us now in readiness to receveall those
whose pleasure it may be to seek the above as
place OF pleasure and recreation as well as those
who may be impelled from indisposition to have
recourse to them for the remedial agency of its
waters. These Springs are situated on the Bay
ou des Canes, distant about "a miles Southwest
OF the Town of fOpelousas. Among the nune-
rous springs. there to be found, may be had such
as are found abounding with Sulphur and prepa-
ratians OF iron. The springs are very abundant,
and IN one instance three of the streams form a
large basin which affords magnificent bathing
place. The waters of the said basin can be en-
tirely renewed every hour, circumstance which
is certainly calculated to add much to its purity.
At the distance of some FIVE hundred yards from
the principal bathing place there is, besides this,
another which is furnished with abundant stream
OF water, the coldness Of. which can almos. be
compared to that of ice.
Inannouncing the opening Of hisr Establish
nnent, the undersigned does not pretendto offer
the same to the public as a fashionable watering
place, where fine dressing may be exhibited with
the other general Accomplishments. His object,
ON the contrary to offer to the afflicted means
stored to health. The remedial agency Of these
waters in the relief of Dyspepsia, and in the per-
manent cure of cutaneous eruptions, from past
experience, now stands uncontradicted.
The establishment consists Of comfortable
dwellings,, with all the necessary furniture which
may be inquired at such a place, and the
table will be always amply furnished with what
ever eaibles may seem best to suit the tastes of
visitors. An excellent pasture in which horses
may be kept with saety will be at the disposition
ofsuch as may desireit, as we'll as corn, fodder,
&c.
The charges Of the undersigned will be mode
rate, and he feels satisfied that his visitors will
not only be satisfied with the accommodations
which they may receive, but that they will be also
equally contented with the degree ofhealth which
they may obtain from the heaIthfal use Of the
waters Of the different Springs.
