Dan RIce's Rhinooeros.

Dan Rice's trained Rhinoceros, which
was reported drowned in the Mississippi by
his cage having been knocked off boat in-
to the water by collision, Unexpectedly
turned up in the vicinity of La Cross where
be has taken poSsion Of a slough, aud spends
his time alternately between that and a
neighboring corn6eld. Although tame, it
proves something more than pleasant
leisure hours amusement to capture him, as
will appear from the following account: ::
On the 10Th ult collision occurred be-
tween the steamers Key city and Luzerne
on the Mississippi in the vicinity OF La
Crosse. The Luzcre had on board the cir
Gus, trained animate, &C. belonging TO Dan
Rice. The cage containing the trained rhi-
noceroS, weighing over 1000 pounds, was
knocked of. The door of the cage was open
and the animal was fastened with chain
and ring 10 his nose. Some Of the men in The
employ of Rice watched day or two in
hopes the monster would make his appear
ance, but gupposng him to be drowned, they
left. Subsequently he was discovered frol-
icing in the Mississippi, but sunk on being
approached. At last accounts, he had Ia
ken to slough, and the La Crosse Demo.

his land pranks,

his blanket, and chain in the nose, rushed

says, at least fifty feet over aud back of him

The monster plunged iuto the river, aud th

the box with grass and brought their dlsa

ribs were evidently broken by the snout o
the animal as the flesh was badly torn
An attempt was made by several sports
