Waadcr--The United States vs.. John F. liassett.
The defendant, indicted under the Act Of the Sd
of March, 1868, for endcing soldier to desert,
was tried this morning The specific charge
against him Is that for the purpose of enabling
a soldier who had enlisted as a substitute and was
at Camp Cadwalader 10 desert, he sold to the
latter PASS for the sum Of $50; the same being
forged or altered. The pas had originally been
given 10 o man named Rhodes, who deserted.
II was altered and sold as before stated TO
Rodgers, the substitute who passed the same
at the gate. The alteration being plainly per-
cepube, the man was stopped, and upon being
questioned confessed that the pass had been sold
TO him by the defendant. The latter being in
camp, was arrested, but denied that he had sold
the pass. Upon being cOnfrontediwith Rodgers,
he however admitted the fact.
The'defense was good character. Jury out.

An elephant and bull fight took place lately
at SaragosSa, Spain. The elephant was walking
quietly about the arena when the first bull was
released, and rushed at It with all his might. The
elephant received his antagonist with great cool
ness, and threw him down with the utmost ease.
The bull rose again and made two more attacks,
which the elephant resented by killing him with
q thrust OF his tusks. TIE conquerOr did not seem
in tie least excited, but quietly drank some water
offered 10y his keeper, and ate several ears of In
dian corn. A second BUN was then released, and
in few minutes suffered the same fate as the
first.
