..One day a circus, on its way to oro-
vile, was passing a miners cabin, one OF
the windows of which was wide open. The
elephant Prince Albert came along and IN
serted his elongated proboscis, in the hope
of finding something palatable inside the
cabin 1t happened that right under the
window two weary miners were sleeping IN
their bunk and when the elephants trunk
began to tickle the feet of one OF them he
awoke and looked up at the window. That
was enough. His hair rose straight on his
head, and with howl of terror he leaped
out of bed, went through the opposite win
dow like circus rider through hoop, and
lit out for the hills. His companion, awak-
ened by the noise, saw the hideous appari-
ton at the window, and followed his part
ner. The circus men, after enjoying
hearty laugh at their expense, followed
them up and explained the situation.
.....John Bradley had been arrested by
Captain Deal on charge of criminal as
sault upon a woman in Georgiana town
ship. The UNION remarked that "the cir
cumstances, as related, are of so romantic
character that the charge probably can
not be maintained
.....A rather amusing incident was re-
lated in a Boston paper. A prominent
military gentleman was walking in the
public common on Sunday, when his dog
jumped into an artificial pond. A police
man confronted the owner of the dog at
once, and said: Don't you see that sign
there Dogs Not Allowed in the Frog
pond on Sunday" Yes" replied the
military gentleman, II see the sign; but,
you see, that's the most illiterate dog in
America-he can't even read.' The police
man leaned up against a tree in dazed
condition, to recover his breath, while the
man and the dog moved on.
...... Ralph Dorr, Jr., one day met half
demented character, known as "Old Hans"
in front of the Orleans Hotel and out of
pure cussedness, prompted by bad whisky,
commenced horsewhipping him. Buck
Harrigan came along and told Dorr to quit.
The latter threw his hand behind him for
his pistol, and Buck threw his into DORIS
face. Dorr went down with dull thud,
and that ended the affair.
