slyely thrown 10 them and devoured.
After this the king caused live lamb
to be easily let down unto them by o
rope. and being come to the ground the
lamb lay upon his knees, and both the
ioLs stood In their former places and
only beheld the lamb, but presently
the lamb rose up and went unto the
lions. which very gently looked upon
him and smelled ON him without sign
Of any further hurt" However, a lion
and mastlff fight that followed was
better "sport."

Buried The Body

The body of the drowned man tnat
was found floating in Fishing creek
last Monday by Joseph Freeman, was
buried yesterday. The body which
was at first thought to be that of Mid
shipman l.. l.. Vertrees. was never
identified 1t was buried by MillaTd
Oantler on the shore of Fishing creek,
near where it was found. The re-
mains were in dreadful state of de-
composition. A crop of brown hair
was hanging on to the scalp. The face
and limbs were fearfully bloated and
the clothes we're rotted in such state
as to fall to pieces when touched.
The man wore pair of Douglas shoes
that had bRrnacles on them. The con-
dition of the body showed it must
have been in the water for several
months aud is thought to have been
drowned last winter. When first dis
covered by Mr.. Freeman. the body
was so swollen and distorted in size
that it was thought to be dead horse
floating in the creek.
