Fright between an Elephant and
its TraineT---The Latter Killed.

Mr.. Alfred Moffat, of equestrian noto-
riety, in England, who for the past five
years has been performing Richard
Bells elephants, was killed at Morat,
Switzerland, on June 28th, while per-
forming with Bell G. Myers company.
The elephant had some trouble with the
groom a short time previous. Mr.. Moi
fat tried to subdue the beast by LAYING
about him with his spear and tomahawk,
and compelled him to kneel down to him
to fasten the chain around his neck.
Mr.. Moffat kept the spear in the animals
ear while he was doing this, but had to
turn his back to the brute while he took
chain from off his leg. Just at this
moment, the elephant roseIto his feet, mad
Mr.. Moffat, who had hold of the handle
OF the spear, which was still fastened to
the animals ear, was raised from the
ground. The elephant then commenced
turning his head backward and forward
until he got Mr.. Moffat in front of him;
then seized him with his trunk and
threw him twenty feet in the air. and as
he was coming down, caught him In his
tusks and gored him to the ground. Mr..
Moffat still had presence of mind to call
the animal by name, and while on the

ground said, Go back, Palm ! but at that
moment the Infatuated animal put his
foot on Mr.. Moffat's breast and killed
him instantaneously The female ele-
plant seeing her keeper and trainer being
mangled, ran at the male elephant and
gored him with her head; then with the
assistance OF the members of the eques-
trian company, Mr. Motiat was got away
from the enemy; but he was no more,
life had flown at the time mentioned
above. The female then went back to
the stables and seemed 70 try TO get the
male elephant to do the same but in
spite of all he would not go in. He APP
peared quite wild, and he commenced, las
through revenge) to tear Mr.. Mohats
coat, which lay on the gIound, pulling
1t into thousand pieces and then eating
1t. The company tried about three hours
TO get him into the stable; but they
could not do IT, either by force or kind
ness. At last the female came TO the
stable door, and commenced crying,
which drew him to her. She then
closed the door after him, and, seeming
quite sensible of what had happened,
placed herself at the door so he could
not get out again. During this time,
Messrs. Bell & Myers had sent for can
non to shoot the monster. For eight
long hours the female elephant stood
sentry at the stable door, guarding it
with her own body by the word OF COM
mand from the groom, George Mason,
who has always fed and cleaned the ami
mails, and drove them on the road from
town to town, and whose life at time
or two has been saved by Mr.. Moffat.
At last the cannon arrived, and was at
once placed in position near the stable
door. George Mason then called the
female elephant away from the door,
and the male came out and the word
fire" being given, a six pound ball from
the cannon made hole right through
his body, and he fell dead on the spot
where he killed his trainer.

Local and state Items.

Police CoURT.-Mary Ann Campbell
was yesterday, upon complaint of Grand
Juror Joyce, brought before Justice
Smith, charged with intoxication. She
was convicted and fined SIS and costs,
amounting in all to gil IS, in default of
which she was committed to the County
Jail. She was Immediately re- arraigned
upon a charge of vagrancy, of which she
was convicted, and sentenced to the
County Jail for four months. As she
will not be likely to find money to pay
her fine for drunkenness when she has
served out her term for vagrancy, the
probabilities are that she will.board all
winter, if not longer, at the expense of
the County.
Calvin Brewer was cup" before Justice
Smith upon charge of selling beer to
Mary Ann, and upon being convicted,
paid fine of $40 and costs.

HORSE FOUND.-While Messrs. s. J.
Griggs, james Barrett, Moses w. Kelly
and a couple Of other gentlemen were
hunting on Killington Peak yesterday,
they discovered horse on the top of the
peak. The mystery Of the affair is how
the horse got there, as there seemed to be
no place where it was possible for such
a beast to ascend. The party, after
much exertion, succeeded in removing
the beast, when soldier, who was in
the party, was mounted thereon, and
three cheers given for the "boys in blue"
The horse may be found at the premises
Of Moses Kelly in Clarendon. See ad-
