MAN LOST ON THE FBAIRIES— RESCUE BY A DOG. Oh the 13th of December, a young man named HcCor- mtck, about eighteen years of age, started flrom a point on the Iowa river, four miles above Alden, to.oroea over to Wall Lake, a distance of twelve miles, vrith an ox team, and sled load of provisions, for hia home. He had not proceeded fu when he was overtoken bv one of those vio- lent snowstorms and drifts which have oeen sopleotv this winter, and lost the road. After wandering aboat aft day In the blinding and drifting anew, bo took the cattle from the sled, in hopes that they would find the way home, but tbia failed. He then determined to leave his cattle, and by his own eSorts try to find some human habitation. He accordingly started, taking his dog and hlB gun, but his dog left bhn and went back to the sIm, and benTmself became so exhausted that he threw away his gnn. Night soon set In, and the tempest raged with unabated vi61encc, and giving blmseif up for lost, he sunk down in the snow, never expecting to rue again; but after resting a short time, he mads one more effort, and looking around ho found a largo snow bank. In this bank he succeeded in making himself a kind of burrow, into which he crawl- ed, and wnlch in a good measure screened him from the storm. Here he slept comparatively comfortably till morning. The storm continued the next day, and he wandered about In a bewildered state, and duringthe long stormy day, straggled desperately, without knowing whither ho was going—to find a settlement—but la vahi; and as night again spread heraable curtolna over the deso- late waste, he sank down exhausted, benumbed, his limbs frozen, to die, but about A o'clock in the evening he heord the Iwrklng of a dog. This aroused him to make a last effort for his life, but hia frozen limbs refused to do theh: olDcc, and he was compelled to cmwl on bla handa and knees. The dog kept running and barking before blm, and guiding his course by htm, be dragged himaf If along over two miles dlatance, and reached a houee about 2 o'clock in the morning, having been on the pralrlo forty- four hours wilhont fbcd or drink. He was brought to Alden, where he now Ilea In a low, emaciated, critical stote.

THEATBIOAL BEMINI80ENOE. Son years hgo during a visit of EIrby, of 'f dying fame," to London, an incident occurred which- is thus re* lated by the Globe:—Last evening daring the perform- ance of the play of Othello, at the 'Victoria Theatre, the audience were much excited by an announcement from the management Toward the dose of the play, and just be- fore the last act was to be represented, Mr. Osbaldlston came forwud and addressed the audience as follows :— " Ladles and gentlemen, I am placed In a most palnftil position. I know not what to aay. (Sensation.) Mr. Ki^ by, who has been drunk to-night, has insulted the com- pany, and without saying a wqid to me has left the bouse." (Cries of "It's alia; Ur.Elrbyte not drunk." > Hr.Os- baldlston proceeded:—"If it Is your wish I'll send after him, and try to get him on." (Very great conAialon.) Several gentlemen in the pit here rose. and .essayed to speak. One gentleman, after the confusion bad subsided, aald, " Liullcs and gentleffleD,,lt la untrue to say th^t Mr. KIrb7 is dmnL I nave Just seen him, and lie Is as sober ais'anv person In the honso this moment The; foot Is, Mr. Osbaldlston' has grossly insulted Hr.

Klrby baa Just attempted to enter tho theatre, and ex- pbiin'to you the nature of the grosa Inanlt offered to blm, tmt Ur. OslwldlBton has ordered the doo>keepcr8 not to admit him." Great confbslon ibllowed this gentleman's remuksi and a noise at the box entrance added not a Ut- tlo to the uproar; and, upon Inquiry, it was found that Ur. Osbalduton and Mr. Klrby were at the door, the lat- ter gentleman having paid for a box ticket, and the form- er relUalng him. admittance. The houso thinned after the above affair,' and tho other pleoos went off very, tamely. THE RAT-ELEPHANT. MDS FBISOEOIDEOR TBEnEKSILia. Tes Oaietle da Tribimaux gives the Ibllowlng atrange case:—A man.named GIrome, adiachuged Zouave,'was yesterday tried by tho Tribunal of Correctional Police for swindling. A person named Trlqucl ateted that he Is a great fancier ofcurloua animals, and that the prieoner one day came to him and offered for eale a rat with a trunk. Aa ho hod never ecen or even heard of such an animal, be asked to see it, and the man showed blm a largo rat which had on Ite snout a long excrescence. He could hardly believe bis oycs,'and to eatUiy hlmaclf that be waa not the victim of fraud, he pricked the trunk with a pin; the animal uttered a cry.and adropof blood fell. Convinced by this that the trunk was real, he paid 6U francs for the rat, and he sulMeqaently gave another 60 francs for a fe- male. In order to Inoreaso the breed. He expected to ren- der himself famoua by bringing to the knowledge of the public a apecies of rat of which neither Buffon nor any other naturalist had mode mention; but to bla mortiOca- tlon bla two rate with trunka produced young without any. He one day described bis rate to an oOcer who had served in Africa, ond the latter bnrst into a roar of laughter. Having asked the cause of his mirth, the olBoer told him that no such things oa rate with trunka existed, and that they were an Invention of the Zouaves. '.■ An Invention of the Zouavcal" cried the perplexed naruralist: "why, how can that hot" The ofScer thon related to nim that the Zouaves are aecnatomcd to teke two rate and fasten them to a flat board, tho snout of ono towuds tho tail of tho other; they Qion cut a bole in the snout of . the second rat, and Insert the tell of the flrst into it, .they then bind the snout up, and leave the two rate together for 48 hours. By {bat time the tail baa become firm in the Inclalon, and they then aeparate the two rate by cutting off the tell of the flrst at a amall diBtance from the snout of tho. other. The second thus remalna ornamented with si trunk, and In about a month the incision in the snout la perfectly healed, ao that the trunk appcare put and pikroel of tho animal. Indignant at this Imposture, tho complainant had the Zouave urest- ed as a swindler. The Tribunal, however, did not consider It swindling, and diBmlsued tho oase. A NOVEL MAIL OARRIEE. A WuHiNOTON oorreapondent of the Boston Travelltr £ves the following deaoriptlon of one of the attoobM of e Kational IntelllMncer oflloa: " Speaking of the Intelligencer reminds me cif one of Iht' attaches of that olBce. He u a very luge, very sagaolona very old, and very self-important Newfonndland dog. LuU everything about the offlce, he bears an appearance of «|. treme solidity and great good natare, and an ability ud determlnaUon to maintain his principles, privllegea, ui rights. Since I have known him, it has been bis oastoni to go to the post-ofllce every morning with the mall bag, Thu morning, aa I retnmed, I met him; he occupied tht narrow footpath, and picked hia way along daintily. 'Thi snow on either dde was about four feet deep. • Doe nmal turn ont, and I rather expected to Uke precedence over bla dogablp; but not an inch would he yield; and when I attempted to piiab him off Into the snow, he veiy good-naturedfy-tumed the tebles by placing his paws on my shouldera and preclpltetlng me headlong Into the snow-bank, and then quietly passing over my body. I tt. covered.my equilibrium in time to see several others, wht had laughed at my fall, take warning by my fate, and a«. cord the way to ue old fellow, who passed on as qnletly aa ever." \ FEATS OF PERSIAN HOBSEB. The PariB^9(titf«~glvea the following detaib relative (0 the horses Juat sent to the Emperor Kapoleon fromPe^ sla:—" The horses sent by the Shah belong to the tribe of Tehl, which, as regards bAtnty and peneotlon of form, are only excelled by the tribe of Ne^jl; but, aa a set 0^ those of Tehl possess qualities which are quite exceptional, being not only full of Are, but extremely doolie. TUa breed of horsea can travel for a whole day wilhont atv' other food than a little buley mixed with cnopped stralc.' A fact which- appears to us incredible is mentioned on thta ■ snlject When the predecessor of Feth All Shah died, the latter had to present himself immediately to secure tha crown. In order to prevent another competitor coming forward. For this purpose he travelled In twenty-lbnr hours on the same Turcoman hone fh>m Schlraz to Ina- ban, a dlatence of not less, than nhiety-slx leagues (ztO miles.). Incredible aa this must appear, it ia generally believed in Teheran. There ue two Turcoman or two Arab horsea kept conatently eaddled and bridled In the stables of the Uuphtl, at Iqiahan, ready for our Savloor Jeans Chrkt and the prophet Abdala, as according to Mahometan tradition they are both to descend flrom heaven on the appearance of the Antl-chrlst, in order to hurl hia into the eternal abyss."
