ESCAPE OF Four LIONS FROM A MENAaERIE.
The Anglo-American circus of Mesrs. Bell x
Hutchinson, arrived at Hal, in Belgium, on July
20, intending TO give one representation. Early
on the following morning, the servant who had
been sweeping out the larger cage, with two
compartments, in which the five Ions are kept,
neglected - close the door. The lions sprang
out, but one was afterward frightened back into
the cage. A circus horse standing near was at
tackled ana seriously wounded by one of the
lions. The lion tanner, Hugh Condael, also
their owner, prevailed upon the citizens and
circus employees not - fire on his pets. In about
three or four hours the first lien was recaptured
after he had prowled through many of the
streets The second lion took to the oper cDun-
try, followed by gen d'arRes, citizens, and the
circus men. Fortunately he entered an aque-
duct. The two issues were guarded, and it was
sought 10 make him ceme out by burning
various materials, but in vain Atlength the
tanner and circus employe descended into the
aqueduct and drove the lion out through the
other end into a little ditch, where he was re-
taken. Morphine, spread on meat, was thrown
to the two still remaining in the public square
running moose was thrown over one of Them
and both were eventually captured. NJ. Cor
daels whole fortune was invested in these lions
which were worth about II 900 each.
