Il Stuffed Donkey.
brooklyn Eagle. !

Upon pedestal at the entrance Of the
Cincinnati Geological gardens is mounted
stuffed donkey. The hero of Mark
Twain's story of the jumping Frog" is
recorded TO have exclaimed when he was
shown the frog that was backed to jump
further than any other frog: 81 don't see
no pints about this yer frog any different
from any other frogw And such would
perhaps be the exclamation of the casual Wis
itor upon looking at the stuffed donkey be-
longing to the Cincinnati Geological socie-
ty. But there hangs behind this stuffed
donkey beside, of course, his natural
caudal appendage--a tale which shows him
to have been no ordinary donkey and clearly
establishes his right to monument. Some
years since a lioness broke loose from her
cage in the adjoining gardens, and cscap-
ing tbs vigilance of the keepers made for
a large iield in the vicinity. Upon neigh

Iiouess landed on the TANKS of the unsus-
peciing beast and dug her claws deep in
his hide Thus suddenly awakening the
DONKEY almost ntuitivly took in the situa-
ton. Lifting up his weaponsof defense, he
dealt the iioness such a stinging blow be.
tween the ewes that it keeled her over.

4 Monster Snake attacks q Man.
cincinnati Cmmercial Gazette.


John Simmons, prominent farmer near
West Carlisle, while out hunting with Mr..
Samuel Weller, met with a most strange
and singular accident which may cost him
his life. Simmons was walking within q
few feet of an old stump, from which a
serpent of prodigious size leaped out and
attacked him. The monster cooled itself
around its victim, whose cries for help
soon brought Mr.. Weller to the rescue, who,
seeing MrSimmons' danger, drew pocket
knife and vigorously attacked the reptile,
which became enraged, and sank its fangs
into Mr.. Simmons helpless body, but Wei
Ter finally succeeded in killing the monster
by cutting it in several places.
After dispatching the snake Mr.. Weller
picked up the almost lifeless remains of
Simmons and conveyed him home, where
medical attendance soon arrived. Sim
mons body in a short time became swol-
len to enormous proportions from the
wounds inflicted by the serpent's fangs,
and it is learned that he may not recover,
as he was bitten in several places. The
physicians are applying caustic and doing.
ali in their power TO save the poor victim
The serpent which attacked Mr.. Simmons
is species unknown to this section, and is
larger than any ever seen here. 1t certain
IL showed remarkable vitality for cold
day.
