of several of the animals belonging to Howe's
circus. They were being conducted to the

Canal, and were escorted by large number
Of eager youths who wanted to see all they

Col. Butler is the editor and proprietor Of the
New York Arcadian, a sprightly literary Jour-

trouble in which he received the injuries from
which he is suffering, originated in bar
