TWO Millions for wild Beasts.

During the past nineteen years Adam Fore
paugh has expended S2,000000 in the capture.
and also in the importation and purchase from
the Old Worlds Geological Gardens, of almost
every species of animal life that walks, flies,
swins or crawls, and to-day he owns and ex-
hibits the most gigantic menagerie in the
world. He has every year, and this season in
particular, expended more money for single
rare animals than many other managers ex-
pend in equipping their entire exhibitions, as
witness his great herd of twenty-five Asiatic
and African elephants, and the recent pur-
chase of the first, tho only genuine man-faced
gorilla, veritable zebra, giant giraffe aud other
equally rare foreign animals. As soon as the
capture of this gorilla became known, all the
geological gardens of the Old World endeavor-
cd to secure it, and in order to secure the prize
for his now most perfect and colossal menag-
erie he quickly outbid all competitors, and il
now adorns the wild beast collection of the
largest exhibition in the world Still another
triumph in the field of geological explorations
was his recent purchase of the first, the only
the veritable Tamanour, or Great Guinea Ant
Bear; its wonderful conformation, curious
habits and extreme rarity render il the most
extraordinary quadrapedsl curiosity Within the
borders of the United States The crowning
triumph, aud the cap-sheaf of his mammoth
collection Of wild beasts, is the recent pur-
chase of one monster single-horned and one
doube-horned Rhinoceros. No exhibition un-
der the sun ever before exhibited at the same
time, in one collection, the single and double
horned species of these, the biggest born on
earth. These huge, unwisdly biblical auimals
Ia themselves constitute a feature pronounced
to be well worth all that's required 10 purchase

The above veteran corps which celebrated
its o0th anniversary last Wednesday, by tar
get shoot and banquet, has lately been depriy-
ed of good officer by the resignation OF Capt.
Mcdonald, which throws the command at
present upon Lieut.. Norton a veteran soldier
of the late war. 1t is understood that until an
election is ordered an effort will be made to
bring the Infantry to that standard Of excel
lence which shall be second to none in the
State. Lieut.. Norton is of the hard working
order OF officers, and with the assistance of the
other officers and members who have the good
of the company at heart will spare no effort to
make the Infantry in the future as they have
been at a former time the model company Of
our militia. There will now be good oppor-
lty for young gentlemen who wish TO enter
the stats service and secure a knowledge OF tao
tics, to send their names in for membership.
