were advertised to be present in the- de-

draw largely on the reciters. All these

School Examination.
(C ommunicated. )
A public 'exhamination.of the pupils
of the Forest Home School (S.. S. No.
9, Tuckursmith,) under the excellent
management of Mr. D. McLeod, teach-
er, came off on Thursday and Friday,
the 6th .and 7th if:1st , commencing
each day at the hour of 10 o,cleck, a.
rn.,. and was a highly creditable affair
to both teaeher and pupils. Thursday
was employed inthe exatnination of
the junior elasses, and FridV in those
of the senior. There werelabout one
hundred andten pupils -present eadr
day, to 1 e examined, which was dehe
in a practi2a1 manner, in wit'vl the
teacher expliined and illustrated the
dea:;sons to the ptraile; aesisted by the
Itevd. Mr. Eakin, - Superintendent of
the -Ttickersmith school. To witnees
the exami n ation, there was the Yen stees
and a very large number ef the paren
of the popils ad other visitors oreseote
but .utt Friday especially the school
house . we crowded With spectaturs,
which although a :ergs: and commodi-
,00s achool -hou. e iequired ali its size.
It would ccaupy too moch of yper space
_to enter into the details of the Various
'classes examined ; suffice it so say, that
Che pupils who have been under the
tetition Of Mr - McLeed for the past
ts.ao years, were thoroughlly tested in
th various 1.n•anches taught, and showed
eush cleaverness and sound training, as
cot. Towards the dose, by the request
of the parents, the teacher brought for-
ward two recitations and a dialogue, I
vlz., " Father dear Father come home,"
" Why don't parents visit the schools,"
and a sabbath school dialogue, which
seemed to take on the spectators like a
charm. At the close of Friatity's pro-
ceedings forty dotlars worth of prize
books were distributed, so that each of
the pupils secured a handsome ipriv,
and all wended then way houte, Ito re-
turn in the evening, well pleased. with
the day's proceedings.
EVENING ENTERTAINMENT.
About 6 &dock p. re., you could
see pupils and spectators corning in ad
directions, and before the time the el-
tertainment was to commence there
were about four hundred present. To
make the evening more untiring and
elieerful to beth pupils and spectatcrs,
Mr. McLeod secured the assistance of
the Egumndville Brass Band, which ar-
rived there in due time and acquitted
itself in a temarkable manner. .Reci-
• tations, dialogues and speeches, were
the order of the night by the pupils, as-
sisted at intervals by music from the
band, which was very delightful indeed,
How well it looks to See a boy or girl
rise up on a platform befors the whole
audience, as was acco-mplishd there that
night, and recite their pieces of poetry
ot whatever it may be, without the
least agitatitn on the part of' the pupil.
In fact the said teacher deserves praise
for the pains he has taken -in the above
school -seeing his lamot• is not in vain -
as they have secured his services in said
seetion for next year. _Between recita-
done, dialogues,. speeches and music, we
paseed a pleasant evening. in conclu-
sion there was a vote ofthanks given to
each party, followed by the Brass Band
plaYing the National Anthem, and the
gatheringb was dismissed, evidently all
well sati.sfied.

A Circus Reminiscence
THE ELEPHANT COLUMBUS ON THE RAM-
•PAGE-IIACF, FOR LiFE-THREE MEN
A'2403 A DOZE,'N 'ANLITALS KILLED.
From. the Cincinnati Chronicle.
Thirty years ago to -day, on the 31st of
December, 1839, the famous rampage of the
elephant Columbus occurred near Orleans,
and as the only living Witnesses of the affair
are residents of Cincinnati at present, we
will give a short account of the elephantine
tear:
Raymond and Wahring's Circus and Mane-
gcrie, which had. been showing separately in
the centre of Louisiana, were ordered. by
proprietors to rendezvous at a point three
miles above Algiers -which. town is directly
opposite New Orleans -on the last day of
the year, in order that the combination,
which was thelargest that has ever appeared
in the South, might march into the Crescent
City on New Year's Day. With one branch
of the -show was the elephant Columbus,
and with the other Hannibal, both of whom
achieved national fame afterwards. The
junction had been foimecl, and the procession
was nearly in readiness:to move when, un-
fortunately, the two elephants were brought
together, ancl they immediately proceeded to
test their pugilistic aecomplishments Their
keepers interlered and succeeded in parting
them, and Hannibal quieted. down, but
Celumhus would not be so easily satisfied.
He stood. glaring around for a few minutes,
and then struck his keeper's horse a fearful
blow with his trunk, and followed it up
by thrusting hie immense tusks (over six
feet long) through the a,nirael's body. _The
keeper,. Wm. Crum-, fell with his horse,
and the elephant next attacked him, picking
him up with his trunk and dashing him
against the ground with such force as to
break haLf ths,. bones in his body and cause
insta,nt death.. Columbus then marched.
along the line until he reached the lama
cage, which he upset and deraolishede killing
the lama. His next "novement was to make
a dive for John Robinson and. -A. Crippen,
both of this city, who were connected with
the service, but these gentleman being on
horseback, succeeded, although with great
V
treue and danger, in escaping. Columbus
now passed. the caravan at a run, and - soon
mot a drayman driving two mules, both of
which fell victims to his rage, -as did also
the driver, who attempted to escape by run-
ning, but was overtaken. Passing through
Algiers, the elephant soon came across a
negro man sitting- on a fence, and tore down
the fence to get at him, and then tore him
piecemeal. The negro was a slave, and
Columbus' owners were required to pay $1,-
800 fnr killing him. Further on, about
nine - from his starting point, the ele-
phant met a Frendliman and a party of
negi e whoro. he attempted to demoralize
also ut here he met his match, and after a
combat of nearly an hour he gave up and
was chained,- having received three bullets
from a rifle, just below the right eye. The
wounds ems sioned. no inconvenience, how-
ever beyond producing running sores, whicl
lasted till Colurabus death, which was cans- I
d by his falling through a bridge at North
dams, Mass., in 1864, and breaking his
eck. in his rampage the elephant killed
early a dozen of horses, ranks, cows and
Rives, for which. his o-wners were compel-
led to pay about $20,000. The ciraus and
