ARRIVAL OF A LIVE GORILLA IN LIv-
ERpooL.-By the arrival of the African
mail steamer, armenian, at Liverpool
there has been brought to that port fine
male specimen Of the gorilla. lie ap-
pears quite docile, and amuses himself in
dancing around the room at Mr.. Newby's
the eminent naturalist, and attempting tc
sew pieces of blankets together. His skin
is of an olive color, and, as he is yet very
young, only covered with hair. He is re.
remarkably fond of good living, and ap-
pears to have an especial relish for beef
steak and mutton chops, and fruit. Young
Mr.. Gorilla is about three feet and hall
in height, very broad and thick across the
chest, while his arms and legs are long
and sincwy, displaying great strength
He has great habit of putting his feet
into any stray boots and shoes which may
be lying about, and when he is discovered
in his freaks, he invariably runs for pro-
lection to any lady who may be present
His face, unlike the generally-entertained
opinion, is not fierce or repulsive looking
although the jaws are both broad and
heavy.

BURIED AIIvE.-Last Thursday morn
ing, as Mr.. Raven was engaged in repair
ing a well, on q farm a mile or two east
of this city, tho top caved in upon him
burying him to the depth of about thirty
feet. Fortunately the stones and earth
as they descended formed an arch few
feet above his head in such q manner as
to prevent bis being crushed, or his inn
mediate death by sufocation.
A crowd soon congregated and went to
work with will to exhume the unfortu-
nate man, whose cries for assistance co'd
be distinctly heard. After laboring in-
cessantly until one o'clock, Friday morn
ing, they succeeded in rescuing Mr.. Ra-
ven from his precarious situation, and
found that he was uninjured. He was in
the well seventeen hours. Shortly after
the accident to Mr.. r. the eastern train
arrived, bringing his wife, who had been
spending some time at the east. Her
feelings on learning of her husbands sit
uation cannot be dcscribed.-Jdckson

A WEDDING SPoILED.-On Thursday
evening last there came 10 the village of
Lewiston, from Canada, an "ill-matcbed
pair" in search of some person having
authority to unite them in the holy bans
of matrimony. The would be groom was
a hasty, big, greasy darkey," over six
feet high, and the proposed bride a de-
muro looking little white girl, between
thirteen and fourteen years Of age! Tho
aid of clergymen and Justices Of the
Peace was sought in vain-not one of
them--to their credit be it said--would
lend himself to this pollution of the sa-
cred rite.
The fact coming TO the ears of some of
tho young men of the town, they resolved
TO interfere in the matter. Accordingly
they sought out the black scoundrel, took
the child away from him, and gave him
brief notice TO quit This he did, making
the tallest kind of time for the bridge over
the river, followed, and occasionally over
taken by the.various geological specimens
sent after him by those in pursuit. A
place was procured for the girl, where she
is now at work and well cared for. We
presume that colored gentleman will not
include Lewiston in his next wedding
tour-Buf'dlo Com.

. A THRILLING sort of fellow in one Of
our neighboring counties not long since,
won the affections of the daughter of a
bluff but honest Dutchman of somo
wealth. On asking the old man for her,
he opened with romantic speech about
his being "poor young man," etc.
f" va, va" said the old man, 81 knows
all about it; but you ish little too poor
YOU have neider money or character"

STRONG brown paper is now manufac-
tured at the Salisbury Paper Mills, in
Orange County, N. Y, from cat tails,
the product of the wild flag growing in
low ground all over the North. The pro
prietor, Mr.. Okeley, is experimenting with
a view of making white paper, also, from
the same material.

THE Coal Or BUBBLE BEGINNING TO
BURsr.-The Philadelphia Press says
the coal oil bubble is beginning TO burst.
IL remarks upon the market:
"The recent sudden initiation in the
prices of refined oil, and the enormous
advance in prices, has been suddenly
checked, and the decline is likely to be
correspondiugly rapid. The refined arti-
Gle, at one time, sold rs low as twenty
five cents, it gradually advanced to fifty
cents, after which il suddenly sprang up
10 eighty cents, ninety cents, and one dol
lar, and in small lots, TO one dollar and
ten cents per gallon. Yesterday it sold
from sevenly.fve to eighty cents, and on
ly sixty cents were offered for lots TO ar
rive. Within the past two weeks some
petroleum spectators have become mill
ionaires, rs others, in good financial stand
ing, have rs far receded in the opposite
direction"
The Philadelphia Inquirer also says:
"The recent rise is attributable in part
10 the action of SPECTATORS. There is no
scarcity of the raw material al the mines,
and the increased price cannot be of long
continuance. Some difficulty has been
experienced in the transportation Of the
crude oil, but the temporary difficulty will
soon be obviated, and the prices resume
their former status"

ARrIrIo1AL Lros-A REMAnKApLr

ARTIFICIAL LEos-A REMANKABLE
AcHIEvEMENT-Mr. Fernando Page, Of
Grand Rapids, private in ono Of the
Michigan regiments, was wounded at the
siege of Yorktown, and suffered tho am
putation Of both legs below the knee.-
After many months spent in hospital, the
stumps became healed and he was bro't
10 this city. On Thursday of last week
he was furnished with artificial legs by
Prot. Palmer, surgeon artist to the nation
al hospitals, and on Saturday he walked
at least two miles over our pavements,
with no assistance but cane. Early the
present week he called at tho World Of
flee, and ascended four long flights of
stairs TO the editorial rooms, with not half
the Inconvenience experienced by many
with their natural legs. He walked, il is
true, somewhat as if he were on stills,
but seemed to encounter no other diff
Guilty Of locomotion. He started of
briskly, stopped, and turned on his heel
with perfect ease.
Prof. Palmer has accomplished work
that will go far to mitigate the horrors of
war. The unfortunate soldier who loses
one or both legs may have his loss par
tally supplied. The government should
take the. matter in hand, and pursue lib
eral policy in the matter. We commend
it also to our Common Council. Here is
practical way pointed out for carrying
into effect Gen. Nelson Taylor's recon-
mendation.-N y World, Nov. 27.
