THE ELEPHANT ROMEO AT LARGE.-After - o'clock
on Sunday night the 2Sth ult., the immense elephant
Romeo, attached to Mr.. Forpaugh's mammoth menage-
re, became unmanageable at the depot of the Ridge
railway company, during the temporary absence
of the keeper. The most extravagant stories were
freely circulated to the ravages committed by the
monster The following the facts:
At the depot the elephant broke small wagon over
turned ear and tore down number of stalls What
few about the depot gave the animal a wide
BERTH and were more or less terrified The elephant
gained access to the street, and Travelled out Ridge
avenues tore down several tree boxes smashed several
panels OF fence, pulled up tree by the roots and fl
nally entered field where he Stood as monarch of all
he surveyed. Word sent to the keeper, who pro-
curing horse started after the elephant. They met
on the field. The ANIMAL not recognising his keeper
seemed inclined to dispute the territory but in few
moments be most effcctuay subdued and there
then difficulty in leading him to the menaperie
at Tenth and Callowhill streets. Herehn showed ,,
of bad temper by picking man N ,1, bis tr,,n "a
doshng him against ne,-.on. The man cscaned With
lew -gnt bruises. The elephant after he had chain
put on his feet, dashed down portion of the green
wall of the stable with his immense trunk His keeper
who alone can do anything with Romeo proceeded to
the work of subjugating the animal. He succeeded in
the most eectual manner and yesterday he took his
place in the procession of the menagere that paraded
through number of the principal streets The keeper
informed the proprietor of the Press that is only
times the elephant shows bad disposition, when it is
impossible to perform him in public view. When
brought out before the public the elephant is always
tame calm and not the least danger need be appre
hended. He is the finest and largest specimen of the
kind in the country his weight being about five and
quarter tons, nearly twelve thousand pounds As
performing animal he is rated by Dan Rice the best
in the profession. The amount of damages done by
his eephantine highness will reach nearly one thousand
dollars which the proprietor will pay upon the presen
taton of authenticated bills philadelphia Press

have recently greatly disquieted the Imperi-

announcing that business Of importance

his safety he required an armed escort, to
each volunteer for which he would pay fifty
dollars per month amlexpcnsrs Crawford

latter declined to give Meiia has lately

Allegheny Cattle Market.

TUESDAY,, January l6, 1866.
CATTLE.-The supply of Cattle WIS enm-
paratively light this week, not exceeding
loo or 100 head, and of this number not
over 900 head changed hands. The market
notwithstanding the limited supply, was not
very active, there being but very few east
en buyers in attendance, white prices, as
bnmpircd with last week, have undergone
no material change. As already intimated
the demand was principally of a retail char
acter, and consequently We have but COM
paratively few wholesale operations TO It
port, the great bulk of the cattle sold being
taken by the butcher The quality of the
cattle on sale, was about mp to the usual
standard, and, as nearly always is the case,
common and Inferior while prime to extra
sold without much difficulty at full price. -
We give = to $, as the ruling rates Ior
prime to extra grades, although, Messrs.
lIa= ,lwood & Dolan sold car lead of extra
fat Kentucky cattle at 81.
HoGs. Market quiet and dull, with but
little doing outside the retail trade. So far
this week, none of our packers have bought
ank The sales IN the aggregate have been
light, and prices remain without quOtable
change. Messrs limerick x &c. bought -
head aNGra ging 800, at $40; and 81 averag-
ing 2T0, at o. In addition to the above,
there were the usual retail sales at a var
iety Of prices, ranging from 8! to 10y, as to
condition and quality.
SHEEP. Very little done in this grade Of
stock this week. There were one or two
small droves wholesaled, and retailed, at
prices ranging from 6 to cents, gross.
