fIelff BKfNEES A NAN AND LION.
NombEell's menagcrie Is now at
Leeds, England, aud tho Yorkshire Post,
IN giving an account Of it, says :-A
strange aud dangerous accident hap
pened when the Messrs Gross, natural.
ists, oi Liverpool, undertook to forward
huge black named Sahara lion 10
searboroush. On its arrival there the
animal was II once taken 10 the mena-
getiaa All went well until It was at
tempted to shift this untamed King OF
forest from the cage in!whieh he had
been forwarded into the don built to
hold him at the exhibition. After many
unsuccessful attempts had been made
to move him out of one cage into the
other. 1t was at last determined to tcle-
graph their difficulty, aud request the
assistance Of Mr.. William Cross, who at
once, on the receipt Of the telesran,
took tram for Scarborough.
Upon his arrival there, another trial
was made, aud after severe struggle
that lasted some hours, the noble brute
was at length successfully and safely
penaed. But strange to say, whilst Mr..
Gross was receiving the congratulations
of the people about him. he inadyer-
tently laid hold Of one the bars Of the
den. In a moment, the huge animal
sPrang from his crouehing position, and,
70 the consternation Of all beholders,
seized the hand Of Mr. Cross In his
mouth 1t is impossible accurately to
describe the sceao at this juncture--
fear seemed to possess every one present.
Several strangers who had been
specially invited 10 the shifting, magni-
he'd the accident 70 Mr. Gross into an
escape Of the lion out Of his cage thus
filed with fear, they rushed out Of the
menageric in great trepidation The
lion still held Mr.. Cross fast BY the
hand, nor could he be ehticea toilet 90
his hold, although tempting junks Of
beef and COW hearts were thrown into
hIs cage but the most surprising Of
all was that. during TIE whole II the
time each was trying 10 attract the ut.
tention Of the lion from him, Mr.. Cross
appeared tbe least disturbed, as, with
his eyes fxeA upon his captor, be
seemed to be watching and waiting pa
ucntly for some. expected opportunity.
Fiudieg the lion determined to retain
his held, sadsthe pain becoming very
severe, Mr., Cross asked one Of the keep
ers 10 hand hin small bar of iron he
was holding ready for use. With this
Mr.. Gross succeeded IN striking the
brute terrific blow between the ewes.
The enraged animal sprang back with a
snort, tearing away the aesh from the
hand and nutilatipg one finger 80 Sc

The CONCERT OF SATURDAY EVENING"
In the absence Of the opera itself, it would
be difficult to imagine q more pleasing
entertainment than the concert given at
the theatre on Saturday evening for tho
benefit of Mrs. Loockerman. Each one Of
these concerts by amateurs seems to be IN
improvement upon the preceding ono.
The sustaining power Of an orchestra was,
perhaps, the principal difference, though it
was silent repeatedly when 1t might have
added very much to the effect of the mu-
sic. The order Of the performances Was:
Overture by the orchestra, good, Of
course; "Who treads the path of duty !"
by Mr.. Grant; also acceptable. "Sadly
my heart is beating" by Miss E. D.; one
of the best of her performances. "Infa.
matus," by Mrs. Loockermsn and lady and
gentlemen amateurs. This performance
was marred by an unfortunate commence
ment, (the pianist and the orchestra not
keeping time togetherO but this discord
lasted only moment. "Casta Diva" by
Mrs. L. Let us say, once for all, that she
has no superior among amateurs. "Let
all obey" by Mr.. John Mitchell, Jr. This
young man surprised us. He sang one Of
Campbelps favorite songs, yet with 50
much power and sweetness that he did not
suffer by contrast with that famous BARI
tone. "In happy moments" was well
rendered by Mr.. B. "Selections from
Trovatore," by the orchestra. "The
White Squall," by Mr.. Mitchell; but here
he made comparative failure. His fine
voice is not under his control. Then came
that grand chorus, "Glory to the Men Of
DID," which delighted everybody. Pro-
fessor DeCeniels voice Is very effective In
chorus, and his handling Of the piano not
to be surpassed easily. German Song,"
by Mr.. Lobe. Then Mr.. Grant, whose
laurels had been endangered by MitchelPs
first song, gave US " As | view these scenes
so charming and the Marseillaise in such
magnificent style as to throw all the other
amateurs mot the ladies, Of course into
the shade. The orchestra then closed the
entertainment.

CoLoRED SOLDIERS SHOWING oFF.-
Small bodies Of colored United States SOL
diers appeared in the streets yesterday, and
cut few capers. On Broad street they got
into An alteration, and were quite boiste-
rous, attracting crowd. A strong police
force was called out, and arriving at the
spot, quieted the excitement. The SOL
diers, promising to proceed ct once to camp,
were allowed to depart, they having done
no injury to any ono.
Shortly afterwards, about 2 O'Clock,
another squad Of some dozen Of these
soldiers passed up Main street, very much
under the excitement Of liquor. At the
corner Of Main and Seventh streets they
jostled . white man, who struck one oi
them, and brief conflict ensued, In which
the white man stood his ground against the
odds Of thirteen to one, with good
spirit, and finally, fighting his way
out, he exchanged with them . few
missiles In the shape Of paving stones and
brickbats, 10 which ono soldier received z

JAMES RIVER CANAL.-The canal-boat
New Era, Captain Joseph Beal, left the
city on Saturday last on the upward trip
on the canal. She proceeded as far as the
four-mile lock, nine miles above the city,
and there found it impossible to proceed
further, on accoun. Of damages sustained
by the canal, and returned.
1t is understood that between this city
and Maidens Adventure dam, thirty-two
miles distant, there are six breaches in the
canal, some of them very bad. Mr.. Tur-
pin, the efficient superintendent Of the
eastern section of the improvement, is pre-
pared with o strong force to proceed as
soon as possible with repairs, and Is OF
opinion, from the best information he has,
that he can have it in order in eight or ten
days.
The latest intelligence from points be-
yond Maiden's Adventure gives no definite
idea Of the extent Of the damage by the
flood, the river there being too high 10 af-
ford the opportunity for . survey Of the
condition of the work. The river Is, how
ever, falling very fast, and will soon be so
low as to disclose all the results Of its in
roads upon the canal.

MEETING or THE METHODIST SUNDAY

neetlng OF this Society was held In Gen.
'enary church yesterday afternoon at half.
Psst O'Clock. The meeting was opened
WIN prayer by Rev. P. A. Peterson. pastor
OF Union Station church. There was uuite
q large attendance notwithstanding the
inclemency OF the weather. The following
schools were represented: Centenarv'
Broad-street, Trinity, Union Station, Clay'
street, Manchester, Oregon, Sidney, and
Rockets. The superintendent reports
show that during the past month although
the weather had been very unfavorablc-
the average attendance had reached ,116-
fair increase on the previous month. The
exercises were conducted by Asa Snyder,
Esq, president of the society, and consisted
of singing by Centenary school, under the
leadership of Captain F. A. Tucker (dOne
in excellent style); receiving reports, and
discussing of subjects of interest to the
cause.
An address of greeting was delivered by
George Lambeth, youth Of Centenary
school, in excellent style, adding greatly
to the interest Of the occasion. He was
followed by little Willie Sims, of Clay
street, "the youthful orator." in an ad-
dress summing up the early life Of Martin
Luther. He is certainly prodigy, being
only six years old, and speaking in clear,
distinct tone, pronouncing every word with.
accuracy-a long address without faltering
or blunder.
The president submitted a number Of
practical questions to the meeting, which
were discussed in five-minute speeches by
Rev. Z. NJ. Peterson, Rev. w. W. Bennett,
Rev. J. Manning, Rev. q. w. Armistead,
and Messrs. Smith, Gary, Bidgood, Penn

pressing his qualification at the progress

nounced the next meeting at Broad-street
church on the second Tuesday in April
next.

The UNKNOWN MURDERED WoMAN.-No
clue, we believe, has yet been found as to
the identity of the murdered woman found
in Drinkers woods on the 2sth of Febru-
ary. Such murder, however, can hard
ly pass without the detection of the
murderer. He cannot conceal his tracks
so completely as to evade all scrutiny into
his bloody and brutal crime. The police,
we know, will do what they can to unravel
the mystery.
