A Dangerous Pet.

The forests and the green retreat Of
Windsor, once proclaimed to be the
seat Of the muses., are now said to he the
green retreat Of u very different sort Of
resident. A jaguar, we read, has taken
up his abode there. The animal. il APP

Dixie, and was II pet Of that gentleman
and his wife. 1t contrived to get loose
one day, and is believed to have made
for tine Windsor great park. In the re-
cesses there it is understood to have

hear that some commotion has been
created in Windsor by the announce.

women will have such pets, they ought

not allowed to intrude themselves upon
