.Procced with thy Elephant,

In Columbiana County, resides an
old fellow renowned for his bellce-
rent~ disposition, who % generaay
known as Friend Shavev. Born and
bred Quaker, he was long since
read out OF meeting on account of his
quarrelsome propensities, but he still
pertinac;ously clings to the plain
clothes and piain language of his early
days, possibly as protection against
the wrath which he is continually
provoking by his bearing and
irritating demeanor. He has always
the crossest dog in the neighborhood,
the most troublesome, breechy steers,
&c, and is continually in hot water
with some of his neighbors in conse-
quence of the depredations commit
ted by his unruly live stock. A few
weeks since, Van Amburg's Menagerie,
travelling through Columbiana, was
obliged to pass his residence. A little
before daylight, Nash, the keeper of
the elephant Tippoo Saib, as he was
passing over the road with his ele-
plant, discovered this pseudo Quaker
seated upon fence by the roadside,
watching a bull which he had turned.
out upon the road. and which was
paving, believing and throwing up
a tremendous dust generally. In
fact, from the fury of the animals de-
monstratlOns, one would have readily
taken him for one of the Identical
breed that butted the locomotive off
the bridge.
''Take that bull out of the way"
shouted Nash, as he approached.
proceed with thy elephant, was
the reply.
eff you don't take that bull away
he will get hurt" continued Nash,
approaching, while the bull redoubled
his belligerent demonstrations.
"Don't trouble thysef about the
bull, but proceed with thy elephant, :"
r,etorted Friend Shavey, rubbing his
hands with delight at the prospect of
an approaching scrimmage, the old
fellow having great confidence in the
invincibility OF his bull, which was
really the terror Of the whole country
around.
Tippoo Saib came along with his
uncouth, shambling gait; the bull
lowered his head and made q charge
directly upon the elephant. Old
Tippoo, without even pausing in his
march, gave his cow-catcher a sweep,
catching the bull on the side, crushing
IN his ribs with his enormous tusks.
and then raised him about thirty feet
in the air, the bull striking upon his
head as he came down, breaking his
neck and killing him instantly.
I'm afraid your bull has bent his
neck little" shouted Nash, as he
passed on.
''Bent, the devil" cried old Shavey,
with troubled look at his defunct
bull; ''thy elephant is too heavy for
my beast, but thee Will not make so
much ont of the operation as thee
supposes. I was going to take my
family to thy show, but I'll see thee
and thy show blowed to blazes before
[ go one step, and be d-d-please,"
the please being added as Shavey
took second look at the proportions
of the stalwart elephant keeper.
