ATTACK AND DEATH OF RzMApKABLE
resday tells the following story of q unique
sensation in that city. A Mr. Bradley OF East
st. Louis was awakened early on Tuesdsy
morning by his wife with the intelligence that
burglars were attempting to effect au entrance
to the house, which, it may be stated, Il a two
story frame situated on Third street. The up
per portion of the dwelling is occupied By The
family for sleeping apartments, shie one of
the lower rooms serves rs room for an old
lady named Flynn, a member of the household.
On learning that some Cause of alarm really
existed, Mr.. Bradley arose and graspipg u
huge cavalry sword, stationed himself at the
window, expecting every moment to SEE The in-
gress or attempted ingress OF some daring Thief
apd determined TO defend his freside at all
hazards. While thus waiting sudden crash
was heard from below, as il the whole side of
the house had been jammed in, and at the
same tine the old lady was beard To scr, am
pierceingly, as il wild with tear. According TO
the story, the window and the bureau near 1t
were suddenly dashed into the middle of the
room. Her husband is a nigh bt-watchmap, o, aud
being soon expected home, sbe thought be
must have been out drunk and was attempting
to get in through the window. She sprapg
from her bed and seized what she supposed
was the retreatDg leg of a man. 1t had queer
feel, however, and was drawn outward with
violence, aud the old lady having advanced
close to the shattered window, saw to her bor-
ror, the towering bulk OF an enormous ele-
phant U0abe to overcome the sbock, she
Tell almost nsensible to the floor. At this stage
of affairs Mr.. Bradley, with bis drawn saher,
started for the rescue. The stairs leading be-
low are on the outside of the house, and az he
descended he encountered the elephant, who
appeared determined to ascend The Steps. A
few blows OF tue steel blade on the trunk cow
ed the huge brute, and be commenced retreat.
He backed out of the yara aud teok north
wardiy course until he arrived at saloon own
ed by Mr.. Charles Schaffner, at which place
lie stopped, took general observation of tho
surroundings, then making a desperate charge,
he shivrred large door to atoms. This last af-
fair was the close of his damage. He wandered
off through the silent streets and at day light
was found near the southwest depot dead bav-
ing, it is said, died from the effects of the cold.
The explanation of the busne.swss soon ascer-
tanned. The elephant belonged to a mapagerie
which was goirg east on the Vandalia railroad.
The elephant was left at dark by the keeper IN a
railroad car, being, as was supposed securely
locked in. DuIing the night, however, be
broke the cham which fastened his leg, tore
down the door, and started on his voyags OF
death.

The New Fishing Pond.

To the Editor Of the Press.
AS many OF your readers may wish to know
where to find the new fishing grounds, for
their benefit will direct them.
The route from Portland is ria Gorbam,
West Gorham, crossing the Saco liver at
bonnyeasle, thence up the Lmipgton corner
road ABOUT two miles, making in all, about
twenty miles from your city. The pond, of
about four acres, called Sand Pond, is situated
near the highway on the west, in pitch pine
plain, but few rods from the road, with hieh
sloping banks, circular in form. And will
venture to say visitors will find it as well
stored with the speckied beauties, as can be
found in the State of Maine. While the Ice
was clear and thin, they could be seen In
schools OF foEr or five hundred to thousand,
and could be driven all about the pond by
simply walking behind them. Tue snow and
thicker ice at the present writing, cuts OF this
exciting view. About thirty seven years
since, the proprietor of the adj lining farm de-
posted few small brook trout in tnis pond.
This circumstance was entirely forgotten uu-
til last July, when a. dead trout, eighteen
inches in length, was found lying on the
shore. Men and boys tried at this time to
catch some of them but not GLORIOUS nib
ble' could be obtained; but Immediately upon
the freezing OF the pond, a few days since, Mr..
William Berry, a son of the former owner of
the farm, tried his hand with good success,
and already several hundred pounds have
been caught; and the cry is, still they bite,
even on Sundays, 1 am sorry to say.
The pond has no visible outlet or inlet,
though it is supposed to have underground
connection with other ponds in its vicinity.

Living in our village is a veteran hunter

ninety years of age, known by the familiar
name of Jncle John Smith: a character in

the trout, who has frequently, in times past,
been seen vending his way home, barring
