In the Jaws of a bIan Lion.
G. II CRADBURS,
e. L. SMITH,
A. A. DAY.

A frightful scene took place at the
Valso Railway station, Lyons, ON the
2d inst. 4 superb Nubian lion. inten.
ded for the Bidel Menagerie, which
had just arrived. was left in the sta
ton awaiting orders from its owners.
The superintendent took the precau-
tion of removing the truck in which
the animal WAS brought to Lyons into
a corner off the line of the ordinary
traffic, and put barricade around it
to prevent the accidental approach of
strangers. All these steps, however,
afforded only stimulant to the curl
OSity of some persons who happened
to be in the station. Among them was
i cattle merchant. who was seized
with an intense desire TO go up to the
wild animal and caTess it as he might
do cow or sheep that he had just pur-
chased. lie put his arm inside the
cage Tor this purpose, but in another
moment horrible cries were heard and
attracted all the workmen and officials
to the spot where the lion had been
safely placed out of reach of doing
harm TO all but those who might viii.
fully seek danger. The sight present
Ell was fTightful one. The iafuria.
ted animal had the limb of the adven.
turous cattle dealer between his teeth
and was dragging the whole dody INTO
the cage. The spectators Immediately
armed themselves with piers, shoyels
and crowbars; but before they succeed.
ed in forcing the lion to loosen his
mold he had torn the man frigNtfully
Medical assistance was soon procured,
and it was found necessary to perform
an amputation to save the life of this
victim of his own recklessness.

Touching Incident.

A touching incident is reported from
Chattanooga. An utter stranger called
on respectable farmer last week, and
asked him if his house had not been
robbed during the war. The farmer
replied that it had. 81" said the
stranger, was one of marauding party

farmer, chad been worn by my dear
child" "Ilere it is replied the
stranger, visibly affected. 81 am rich.
Let me make restitution. Here are $50
for your little son." He gave the
farmer a $50 bill and received $50 in
change. He then wrung the farmer
hand warmly, and left. The farmer
has since dried his tears aud loaded his
shotgun. The $50 bill was bad one.

Foreign Markets.

The Mark Lane Express, in it's re-
view of the British grain market for
last week, conveys the information
that wheat declined | shilling per
quarter on home grain, and pence on
floating cdrgOes. This will benews to
the masses on this side of the Atlantic
who have been continually appraised
that London and Liverpool were
strong, with an upward tendency. 1t
would seem that sOms parties ON the
other side entertain the idea that
operators in wheat in the West are all
bulls, and want to be cOmfOrted with
good news" whatever may be the
real conditions. This daubing up of
the wall with Untempered mortar is
very pretty rs an amusement for chill
dTen, but it is hardly worth paying
for at the rates charged for cable news
TO the West. Per contra, however,
the Express gives the assurance that /:
''Our imports at the commencement
of the present cereal year are about
half what they were ut the same time
last year, while granary stocks, which
were then increasing, are now, al
though large, slowly and sure dImin-

show that the supply from the Allan
tic ports are unusually light, in many
cases below that from Russia and In
dia. AS the new crop of California
wheat cannot arrive for some months,
it appears almost certain that, should
America decline to ship at present
prices, nothing can prevent a rise in
wheat. The reins of prices are thus
in the hands of America. Our local
trade has been somewhat less ami
mated, buyers and sellers both waiting
to see whether the supply will be in
creased by large influx of grain from
the Atlantic ports. This momentary
lull is probably the precursor of great
activity when the future course of
supplies will be more fully made mani

Terrible Death from Fire.

The German ship Europa was on a
dry dock in New York, last week, for the
purpose Of receiving a general Overhauling,
and a large force Of caulkers, ship-carpenteIs
and blacksmitLs we're put to work in her.
These men were scattered all ever the vessel,
and about ll:3' a. N. the ship carpenters and
csuIkers were in the lower holds, boring the
sides % see whether the planks we're sound,
viii the caulkers had brought their oakum,
oil and pitch into the lower hold, to have it
At hand when required. a ship carpenter
named John Casey. 90 Sheriff street, was
with the rst in the fore hold, testing the
planks, when he struck match for the pur-
pose OF lighting his pipe, and having done
so, threw the burning match on the floor.
A large pile OF oakum near boy was ignited
by the match. Casey, in endeavOring 81
smother the flames, was fatally burned. The
flooring Of the vessel h ing saturated 18th
kerosene, benzine and other highly eombus-
tible liquids, in a moment caught fire, which
spread with lightning rapidity, and the en-
tire hold from stem TO stern was a mass OF
fire, converting it into a iriglitiul death trap.
The wOrEmen in this hold were cut of from
the air They were in Il tomb flled with fire.~
Some az work amidshiDs we're completely
surrounded by the Il mes. Those not in the
midst OF the flames were exposed to the
dcathly fumes which arose from the Ere, and
the police and fircInen went into the hold,
and soon found in various parts OF the bark
the bodies OF five men, all ship-carpenters.

course the two machines had their friends,

it the blue ribbon, which they did, accom-
panied by the following testimonial:
