An Enraged Lioness.
A lioness belonging lo Van Amburg & Cos., kept
with other animals belonging to the same Menagerie,
in a building at Newport, near Cincinnati, Ohio, re
cently became enraged at her cub being taken from
her, with her claws tore the iron bars from their fas
tenings and breaking from her den, attacked and
killed a dog that was kept about the premises, after
which she seized a panther and lacerated him so
dreadfully, that he died shortly a ftei wards. A young
tiger cub, which the splendid Bengal tigress now
traveling with the caravan, had given birth to about
four months since, was the next victim to her rage,
“•her winch she demolished several cages of rare, and
valuable birds. The keeper arrived at this juncture,
and after a furious struggle, succeeded in chaining
the ferocious brute, to the great relief of the sur
rounding neighborhood, the people of which were
afraid she would succeed in breaking from the build
ing.
The Mackerel Fisheries.
The fisheries this season promise to be very suc
cessful, both the Cod and Mackerel. The early ar
rival: from Labrador have been so, and they report.
, n abundance of fish. The same i true from the
♦ •aiiKs. \ easels arriving at Marblehead, and other
point” engaged in the Banks fishing, have found fish
of riie largest size, and are arriving with full fares.—
Too vessels arrived at Marblehead this week, from
a voyage of t hree months, one with 15,000 and the
other with 10,000, of .such size as to consume, the
tirst trio hhds. and tile latter 120 hints of salt. The
1-V'Oo fish make hOO quintals; and the voyage is
profitable enough to divide S3OO to a man. The
Bank fisheries is the best and surest of all the fish
tics, and but lor the difficulty of obtaining compe
tent crews, would be much more extensively pros
ecuted.
Os the Mackerel catch fin- report is favorable. —
On onr shores they have done well, and the latest
returns from the Bay of Si. Lawrence declare them
plenty and fat. It is to be hoped That the Mackerel
men may have a good season; generally it is a poor
business, and oflate years has declined in his .sec
tion, except in Gloucester, that takes the lead, and
which more abundantly supplies the Provinces. —
The increase of the shoo business has rowded hard
upon all kinds of Fisheries, as that is more profita
ble aml it will in Gloucester, if the attempts to intro
duce shoe manufacture should succeed there.

does’nl believe in a devil!” In a recent letter to
the Mirror the lady denies that she is Fanny Fern,
or that she is the wife of any body. Mr. Parton, al
so, it is said, most emphatically rejects the skepti
cism imputed to him, and says he has never so ex
pressed himself— since his marriage!

Oxygenated Bitters,
Read the following letter from Caleb Parker, Esq.,
ot Concord, N. IT., a man honored and esteemed by
all who know him:
Gentlemen—With no disposition to make my
name conspicuous, I take the opportunity to state to
the afflicted (he benefit I have derived from the use
of Dr. Green’s Oxygenated Bitters, and to recom
mend them to others. For two years I have been
troubled with indigestion and its attendant evils,
such as flatulency, constipation, severe attacks of di
arrhoea, accompanied with water-brash at the stom
ach, which reduced mo in flesh, strength, and spir
it:--, so low that I was nearly unfitted for business. 1
applied to several physicians, from which I obtained
only temporary relief, and finding in a short time
my disease returning upon me in all its malignity, I
concluded, with the advice of friends, but without
the least faith in their efficacy, to try the Oxygena
ted Bitters, from the use of which I found immediate
relief, having no return of water-brash after taking
the first portion. 1 continued to use it according to
the directions, until 1 had taken eight or ten bottles,
which have entirely cured me. My weight has in
creased some thirtv-five wounds, and me health ?o
period. 1 can iruly say that I consider the Oxyge
nated Bitters the best tonic extant. I have recom
mended them to several, who have invariably found
great benefit from their use.
Yours respectfully, •

Messrs. Perry Davis and Son—Gents:—A mer
chant of Kinnoens, in this State, informs me that re

by a rattlesnake, from the effects <>f which he suffer
ed most dreadfully. The family chancing to have
some of Perry Davis’ Pain Killer in the house imme
diately commenced bathing the bitten place, without
knowing whether it would or not afford the least re
lief, but surprising as it may seem, the poison was
soon observed to exude from the wound, and in five
or ten minutes the young man fell asleep, entirely
free from pain, or any effect from the bite, except
the flesh wound, which healed very soon. By giv

for southern and western distribution, and such

it might serve the cause of humanity, and be the
