A WILD BEAST FIGHT. AT Saumur.
lFrance,) there lately occurred com
bat between lion and hyepa in q
menagerie, which is thus described:
The tanner was in a large cage with
q lion and hyena After having
made them go through several per-
formances, he gave some meat, IS
usual. to the two animals, when sud-
denly the lion, animated by the.smell
of flesh, threw h. ..mself on the hyena,
overturned him, and bit him in the
neck. The savage instincts of the
king of the desert manifested them
selves Immediately; the more the
blood flowed, the more he seemed to
be reused; and his sinister look in
spired the most serious fears for NJ.
Schmidt, the lion tanner. He did not,
however, lose his courage for an in
slant. The first means which he
employed were blows from whip. A
revolver was soon handed to him !;
with this, he discharged several shots
at the lion, which did not in the least
move him, as he still kept his victim
between his teeth, and it appeared
almost without life.
Great concern prevailed in the
boxes; the women cried, and perhaps
the uproar excited the lion. The
employees of the menagerie assem-
bled round the cage. They passed a
drag hook at NJ. Schmidt, who made
itpenetrate the mouth of the lion,
while some of them. gave the animal
repeated blows through the bars.
The lion then yielded, and precipitat-
ed himself on the bars NJ. Schmidt
seized this opportunity to retire.
dragging with him. the hyena, into a
neighboring cage. A door then sepa-
rated them from the lion. 1t was
time; for, already furious, he was
approaching, and, his mouth being
covered with blood, dashed at the
door. NJ. Schmidt showed himself to
4 the spectators and received their con-
gratulations, but he was pale and
covered with blood. The hyena is
grievously wounded, but will recover.

calamity to which I have aaverteds Sd IS
It sscareely necessary, on hethresbold
Of 9 business e-union, I should repeat the
warming so often given 10 my friends TO
beware Of all those spurious and deIeteri-
ous comp >unds which, under the specious
and false titles Of Imported Wines, Bran
dies, Holland Gin, Liquors, &s., have been
equally destructive TO the health OF eur
citizens as prejudieial to ths; interests Of
the legitimate importer.
Many years Of my past life have been
expended in an open and candid attempt to
expose these Wholesale frauds; no time nor
expense has been spared to accomplish this
salutary purpose, and to place before my
friends and the public generally, At the
lowest possible market price, and in such
quantities as might suit their convenience,
a truly genuine imported article.
twenty-five years. business transactions
with tho largest and most respectable e1-
porting houses in France and Great Britain
have afforded me unsurpassed facilities fer
supplying our home market with Wines,
Liquors and Liqueres Of the best and most
approved brands in Europe, in addition to
my own distillery in Holland for the manu-
facture Of the ''Schiedam Schnapps."
The latter, so long tested and approved
by the medical faculties of the United
States, West Indies and South America as
an invaluable Therapeutic, wholesome,
pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all
climates and during all seasons, quickly
excited.the cupidity Of the home manufac-
t,1rers and vcnders Of spurious article
under the same name.
I trust that l have, after much toll and
expense, surrounded all my importations
with safeguards and directions which, with
ordinary circumspection will insure their
delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to
all my customers.
I would, however, recommend, III all
cases where it is possible, that orders be
sent direct to my Depot, % Beaver street,
New York, or that purchases Spe made of
my accredited agents.
In addition to large stock of Wines,
Brandies, &C., in wood, have q consider
able supply of old tried foreign Wines, en-
bracing vintages Of many past years, bot
tied up before the commencement of the
war, which san especially recommend to
all connoisseurs Of these rare Injuries.
In conclusion, would specially call the
attention of my Southern customers to the
advantage to be derived by transmitting
their orders without loss Of time, or calling
personally at the Depot, in order to insure
the fulillment Of their favors from the pre-
sent large and well selected assortment.

How to Destroy Midge.

The Canada Ermcr urges deep
plowing in the fall, for the purpose of
killing the midgc, and says;
The worms aud chrysalis have been
buried in great numbers by those
persons who have made the pursuit
their study, at one, two, three, four,
five aud six inches deep, aud the sur.
face of the ground covered with gauge
frames, 40 that none could escape as
they emerged. Those buried, at one
two aud three inches, all came forth
in due season; those at four, less still,
at five inches, scarcely any; and at
six inches, mono. IL ia therefore
clear that, ir we can bury them at
and below six inches, we have them
safely out orho way. IA soou ns the
ground gets warm enough to hatch
the chrysnlis into the fly, they come
forth in the oarth and are destroyed
But, to carry out this mode of de.
struction cifcctually, all must act
alike, aud at once Individual efforts
are comparatively useless. The deep
plowing may be done either in the
fall or spring before the fly comes
out, one is az well as the other, but
the ground must not he disturbed till
tho following fall, after the wheat is
safe. The ground may be cultivated
and cropped with the harrow, but il
must not be plowcd, or the insect will
be released \ good smolhcriug crop
may be sown on it to keep the weeds
down, or it may be cultivated with
the hoe, but no deep cultivation, OF
any kind, must take place, or the
good attained will be lost In Rain
ham aud Walpolc, whore the soil is

second time, in spring aud summer
after fall plowiug--uscd to find the
turned iurrow alive with the moving
chrysalidcS Of the midgc; but il does
not seem to have struck them. that il
they had not plowcd the second time
the midgc woul surely have been de
stroycd.
To make this method effective, III,
farmers should operate simultaneous
ly, and thus Kill tho insect over th,
whole region, To effect this, as wei
as for other most valuable purposes
farmers should organize clubs for til,
discussion Of anything interesting il
their calling and for cooperation il
whatever requires general action, u,
destroy the midgc by this mcthoC
would be attended with no expense
as fall plowing is profitable to spring
lplowing, aud deep plowing is n great
deal better than shallow plowing.

says that COWS viii give during the
summer season from onc.quarter to
one-third more milk when saltcd three
times instead of once week. The
salt increases the desire for food and
