Eugene, the female lion tanner,
travelling with Ames' Circus and
Menagerie, was attacked by hon
ess, at Sunbury, on Friday, and con-
siderably injured about the face and
shoulder. 1t appears the animal
become ferIOcious at the conduct of 8
number of men on the outside of the
cage, and threw Eugene on the floor
placing its prodigious paws on her
face, lacerating one of her cheeks.
She, is said to have had presence of
mind enough to cover the blood
with her handkerchief thus preventing
the brute from smelling it. She lay
in this condition for half an hour,
when the paws were removed and
she slowly passed out of the cage. =

of the 2lst says: "a terrible tragedy
occurred at Salzeburg abont 4 O'Clock
yesterday morning, after the return
of the steamer w. R. Clinton with

at this time remarkable feature m
its local politics. The doctors of
that county have radically and ire
Vocably disagreed; and carry ing their
dislikes into politics, have split the
Republican party in twain between
the Allopathie and Homeopathic
factions. The physicians of the older
school have secret combination, by
means of which they have defeated
the nomination or election of every
man in the county who has had The
, temerity to employ a homeopathic
physician. The party lines are now
, rigidly drawn between the physician
and followers of the two systems
giving the; Democracy q fair chance
: of carrying the county. This i;
probably the first instance in the his

ling politics on allopathie or homeo
