An elderly man named Bockwith, residing in one of the lVnuisula conn-' tics, came to this city last Thursday on business. He i brough.tr will? hihi an old-fashioned flint-lock rille to have a ettick and lock-nut on it. On the oars he fell in conversation with a PBltyl of three geu (deinen from .this city, when one of them, to test the re ality of sonic of the extra ordinary ? &atS>AtTfirta S tetttftt^rrfii ? V.ft ^tjrfr^.VgrrV' offered him .ten dollars to rcpotit some of them, to which the other two added five dollars between them. The trial canip ofl'in an old field half a mile be low Roekett's, and was witnessed b}' about a dor.cn persons. The old flint-lock was (ired seven times, and1 .<>n!y one missed it.s aim. The bid gentleman,after making! two shot?, tit small, objects lo one side, to grit his hand steady, as he .said, hand ed his ton a potato and stationed him j at fifty yards' distance, holding the potato I etweeri his thumb "and fore linger. The rifle cracked, antl the potato fell cloven in three or lour pieces. One of the larger pieces was then thrown in the air, the marksman keeping at the same distance, and again the allot told. An inch and a half anger was then produced, and ? a hole limed in the fence, behind which was fastened a piece of white paper. At the distance | of sixty yards the ninrksmnu scut a bail clear through the aperture, pier cing the paper. At the fourth shot, from.sixty yards distance, tho howl of a pipo, which the eon was smoking, wns crushed. At tKb fifth shot a cop per cent was thrown in the.air and) Int. The sixth and .seventh shots were delivered at' 'd; blackened five1 cent nickel piece thrown up by the son, standing about thirty yards; the first attempt the shot missed. The old gentleman showed considerable morti fication hud laid the blame upon a by stander, who at the critical moment sneezed loudly. The next attempt, however, was an entire success. The old man declined any further trials of his ?kill, and when offored u sum of money In repent his first feat of shoot ing a potato from his son's hand, lie refused, saying he didn't, care to try such experiments unless his weapon was freshly cleaned. The exhibition wns the more remarkable Irom the fact that the nmrksmhri wns an old muri, at least fifty. His eye, however, is clear, bright gray, ills appearance is that of u poor farmer. Tho young man showed not the least I rein or or anxiety tim ing the dangerous experi ment upon himself. The old man', re ferring to his snii,said, "Hob can shoot just as well as 1 can."?h't'chntontf HiV/.

Bui as soon as ihc exercise? bcgaiisdio saw enough with her naked eye to con vince her that a glass was unnecessary, so she laid it in her lap, whence it wits absorbed by one of the fakirs, and now beams .darkly from seine pawn, shop without a doubt. The young lady says she thought the performance real romantic until she stopped to sec the elephant. She were one of those pockets behind hi which, besides her handkerchief} she had deposited an apple; a handful ?f pcnmi Is, 'qhn; tor of a pound of gum drops, a little bottle of ummoniu, and some other trifles. She and her swain, after admiring the complexion of the huge beast, turned their backs upon him to watch the' monkeys and the live kangaroo, and ga::o into each other's eyes; to do this the better they leaned hack against the rope which enclosed the stately mon arch of ihe south, who saw the apple pro'rudmg from the pocket of the un- ' conscious fair one.

But in the last mouthful the majestic beast tool: in the ammonia bottle by mistake, the cork came out. aud about an ounce of. hartshorn ran down the thront of the greedy beast. This beverage is said to have a reviving and stimulating in fluence, aud in this case it proved its power, for a more revived clephnnt was never seen on earth. With a wild yell he grabbed the proturberauco be hind the lady which had been the cause of his disaster. The young man, wit h great presence of mind shouted "shoo," and tho gentlemanly clerk of tho elephant, with a long prod, per slindcd the beast to let up. But the inn was over for the ?luv for these two souls, who v?n!kcd home with but a single thought about wild animals. Tho lug elephant has learned a lesson in moral* which will probably induce him to let other people's pockets alone, though nobody dares.to cany a bottlo of ammonia within range of his-pro boscis.
