A Night iu an African Tree. Night is a favorite time with almost ?II wild eoimul.1 for feeding or moving ?bout. Especially is this the case with those African oreutures which during the day, pass their time in forests and oaves. Elephants, particularly, select tho .light for feeding, and t hoy will then quit their dense cover, and wander on the pining wher* thoy would fear to ?how thei'iaelvos during daylight. On more thau ono occasion tho writer and a friend passed aeveral hours of tho night concealed among the branches of a treo, in order to have the opportunity of watching the habits of some of those animals-whose nature it was to lie hid den during, the day. On the firbt occasion that we ever tried that experiment, wo had taken for oar companion a gentleman, who was neither gifted with pati n.-c. n >r with that enthusiasm which is necessary to render & night in*a tree a pleasant ohaui; . We remained in this tree somo two hour* our companion, by his frequent move ments and tho noise be made, rendering it unlikely that we.should seo any animal whese hearing was acute. Tho bright ooonlight, however, that renders every thing by nigh1 almost as visible as by day, tempted us. to venture on other occasions to undertake night adventures. And on more than one night wo wore rewarded by witnessing events that do not fall within tho experiences of every person.' One night, In particular, we recall as n very interesting one. It wua niter un afternoon ride near the bush down by the Imvoti River, whero we hud seen the fresh spoor of several elephants, that we decided upon pasting a few hours in a large tree that stood apart from the m&iu bush, and - from tho branches of which |a good view could be obtained of the ground. For a cou>paui<>n we select our- usual huntiag Caffre, who is alwu>* ready for sport, and, arming him with ono"of our cutis, wc started ut about tcv o'clock at night, reached tho tree after half an hour's walk, and soon were in its branches. A walk by night in a country where there are such animals as lionn, Lopurds. hyenas, snakes, elephants, buffaloes, and other formidable creatures, requires considerable caution; for it would be erceseivciv awkward to run aga^pAjf bnc?J of them 'animals, or to turn a corner ol ? ' bush, and suddenly find yourself fact to face with ono of them. There ore tos^;. some creatures whtob instar a prac tice of following men at. nigh:?the hyena in particular, as wo experieuoeti ongflifljhan one occasion. Having taken our stations, wo waited for a vic? cf seme auitnal, and our pa tisnce was rewarded, for, to our horror, we Boen discovered a pair of hyenas, which .bud evidently followed us, and bad resojvjfd to await our dearer.t. The night seemed interminable ; our pns; tirns. were crowded and uncomfortable, and, when daylight dawned, we were ready lo drop with futiguo. A Georgia s?*euo : Mr. Thomas Gibbe a Fubstnntial rijizen of Wilcox, went into the, wo ids a few days ngo to feed -wo?e of his hogs. While going along ho. snw n blncte.fbx squirrel moving very slowly through the grass and his curiosi ty being excited he went up to it, when to h a astonishment he beheld a small highland terrapin holding fast to the squirrel by ono of its hind legs. Tbc squirrel used all its strength to escape by actually dragging the terrapin sever at yards through the weeds, and finally reaching a small sapling, it climcd ug thai in hope of releasing the terrapin But the terrapin beld to tha squirrel's foot with a e'eath grip, aud Mr. Gibbs went to tho sapling and shook them out The tcrraping still kept his huld and was dragged by the squirrel to a gopher hole near by and was carried into it . This was the las', seen of the terrapin and his victim.
