neck, and the fight was over, but not
without one more desperate attempt
on the part of the brave animal, which
Immediately on receiving its death
wound drew itself up, it's eyes flaming
like balls of fire, and seemed prepar-
ing itself for one more charge, when
it fell to the earth dead. The Doctor
descended from the tree, and noticing
that the Indian who had been at
tackled was lying on the ground, has
tened to MIN and found him in dying
condition. One of the antlers had
penetrated the abdomen, the other the
region of the spinal column, the antIer
breaking off and leaving a portion of
it, about three inches, in the Indians
body The other Indian had come up
by this time; fire was built, and
preparations made to remove the
wounded man to his camp, but he died
in few moments afterward, and was
buried on the spot The fight with
the animal lasted some time, and it
was late the next day when the Doc
tor returned to camp. The Indians
returned and secured the carcass of
the deer, and had a jollifcation over
the event, seemingly unmindful that
one of their number had lost his life
in the terrible encounter which the
wounded stag had given his pursuers.
The antlers of the deer, the knife used
by the Doctor and the broken piece
taken from the Indians body, were
brought into town.

VANITY OF DANCER.-Vestris l.,
the famous dancer, remains on history
as the most colossally, conically vain
of artists. Intoxicated with applause,
he considered himself the greatest
genius of his time. "There are but
three truly great men in Europe" ne
would say, myself, NJ. de Voltaire,
and King Frederick" To his infinite
egotism his son and successor, Vestrls
H., added an immense capacity for re-
bellion against authority. Twice ne
was sent to prison, the second time at
the personal desire of Marie Antoi-
nette. This is how it happened. Ia
his efforts to display the height Of his
genius to the people of England he
injured one of the tendons of his right
foot. The accident, though it did not
betray itself in its walk, was sufficient
to prevent him from dancing with the
grace, the vigor and the perfection
which placed him SO far before all his
rivals. On his return to France he
found that the king Of Sweden was
the guest of Marie Antoinette. The
queen was naturally desirous Of ex-
hibiting. to her visitor the most distin-
cuished of her artists. Accordingly,
she sent message to young Vertrls'
begging him to dance before the Swe-
den as we'll as he could-she was
aware of his accident-if it were only
a few pas. The young artist returned
a reply that he could not afford to ven
ture his professional reputation by
appearing when he was not prepared
to do his best. The queen had seen
him at the opera, and observed that
he walked with perfect ease, so she
sent him another order-a thlrd-to
each of which similar reply was re-
turned. The upshot Of it was that
voune Vestris was sent to the prison
of La Force and kept there till he had
complely recovered the use OF his loot,
The news was announced to his father.
"Ha.5 said Vestris l., "then our house
and the house of Bourbon are at last
face to face! 1t shall be warT

NEW ENGLAND AND THE ARMY.

1t is known that the Notifications on
the new England coast were stripped of
their defenders to be sent into the States
of the South for political purposes. 1t is
said petitions are now in circulation in
New England and receiving many sigma
lures, which ask that no further appro7
priations be made for the support of the
army. The petitions recite that the army
is no longer needed for defense, but is
used for police duty in the States and to
overawe State Legislatures aud overturn
the constitutional rights and liberties Of
the people, and that the true dependence
of the nation is upon its volunteer SOL
