Our readers will remember that Herr Elijah
Jengel, the famous lion tanner was here some
weeks ago with circus and menagerie. We
had tina pleasure Of being invited by Prof.
Lengcl to witness a private entertainment un-
der the canvas, the next morning; where he
said he intended to enter den Of three lions
which had never been tamed for the purpose
OF. changing them to another cage. Wealmost
feared to witness such daring feat, but our
curiosity prevailed and We went. On inspect
ing the three ferocious animals, however, Len
gel came to the conclusion that they were not
in the proper frame Of mind that day to be
handled, and so he deferred the matter to a
better occasion. lie, however, entered anoth-
er den, and and played with the monsters; an
account Of which we gave our readers at the
time.
II will be seen from an article in our paper
this week, under the head Of
"IS THE LIONS MOUTH"
that Herr Lengel has been caught at last by
one Of the same animals, and his leg fearfully
laccratcd. The account Of it il very interest
ing. He il a man unknown to fear, Of great
courage, daring, and presence Of mind; and
we predict that he will still follow his danger
Gus calling. He has been wounded seven
times by wild beasts, under his charge.
