A MAD ELEPHANT.-The Counenyills
(lndiana) Times says that during the tempo
rary absence OF her keeper, notlong since, The
elephant Jenny Lind, belonging to The Van
Ambursh Menagerie, now wintering 10 that
place, determined to free herself from bond
age, and exhibit herself Tree OF charge. How
for She succeeded Is described below:
Her first performance was 10 try If It were
possible TO upset the building in which sba
was confined, but fading she was unable to
push the solid masonry from its foundation.
She seized the zebra, which stood In close
proximity, deliberately lifted the iricAtauad
beast out OF his stall with her trunk. held blm
poised IN mid.air, then dashed him violently
TO the ground. Not satisfied, one of the sa.
cred cattle shared the same fate. Every
thing was in the widest confusion; lions,
tigers, and all the wild beasts. terrified
by her unusual fury, made the building
echo with ioars, trying to burst their bars
and escape. Mr.. Winner, the lion-tamer, tiled
both by coaxinr and threatening, to y ,cIfy
her majesty until the return of her keensr.

Winner says she IN 'de her chains ting like a
harp-string. If she bad succeeded In escspug
she would have instantly demolished the dens
containing the animals, and the damage tdey
would have done in the surrounding country
could not be realized. Word was instantly
sent to her keeper, Mr.. Nash, and he arrived
on the scene inst in time. Her royal hlghness
was so blinded by her rage that she DID n9t
recognize him as usual by his tootstep; out tue
moment she heard his voice, accompanieu ~
his terrible spear, he forced her 10 inIneg,'ate ~.

Upon the second floor he found the hallway
blocked up with an old rusty musket, dam
aged picture of the late President Lincoln,
several iron rods, and an oil painting about
seventeen feet long, representing cows stand
ing Ill river and sheep browsing in green
pastures. The rooms on this floor, iD few

LIVELY TIMES AMONG SOUTHERN EpI
ToRs.-The Memphis editors have been hav-
ing lively time lately-something like a
quadrangular. duel. The Sun of that city,
aroused by certain statements in the Ava-
tan:ne, OF local significance only, felt called
upon to speak of its editor in the following
strong way
ave denounce his conduct as wanton
outrage on the profession into which he has
sneaked, and its author as a pusillanimous,

Kit Burns late Water Street den on Tuesday,
when a snow storm was raging:
At noon to-day our reporter paid a visit to
the former home Of Kit Burns In Water street,
that wnich is now used for missionary pur-
poses. A few persons only were present, and
they were all gentlemen connecTeu with mis-
sionaIy labor in the city.
At five minutes past twelve O'Clock two
weather beeateD men with blonde hair, who
have evidently seen good deal OF hardship
on the ocean, came together, and took seats
in the middle OF the hall.
The Rev. Mr.. Horn, of the Willard street
Methodist Episcopal Chuich, led with an
earnest prayer that the divine spirit might en-
ter the neighborhood and purge the residents
OF their sins.
The beautiful hymn so for thousand
tongues TO sing was then commenced, and
sung with truly religious zeal.

ed females marched into the room with a
calm, defiant air, and seated themselves neaI
the table. where Bro. HON sat They we're

the movement. A prayer was instantly de-
manded, and Brother Little made very ei-

Then there was another hymn sung:

Nearly every person present Joined In it,
An old gentleman with haGoard counte-
