A man in" New York whx was injured by a

to commence in a few days.
The flattering prospect before him so muc&elated hira
that he resumed his exercises with great additional con
fidence and vigour. After singing over several lessons
to the tune of old hundred the performance was about
to close, when a low and ominous whistle was heard ;
then the twanging of a Jews'-ha-rp. This had scarcely
ceased when the attention.of the crowd was arrested by
the ringing jof bells above them, when suddenly they
were heard rushing down stairs. ; At this anxious mo

darkness reigned. The Gyascutns'! the Gyascutus is

that indescribable animal was in their midst. It is im

from which he shot like an arrow the dreadful beast in
