A very Sagacious Elephant has been recently exhibited in Providence Rhode Island. Last week, while she was travelling with her keepers towards Connecticut, having just left the village of Chepachet, in Gloucester, two guns were fired upon the poor animal, within about fifteen feet of the person who was leading her, five bullets from which penetrated the brain, and caused her to fall, and almost instantaneously to expire on the spot.
    The animal was said to be worth $12,000. Every effort has been made, but hitherto without effect, to arrest the cruel and cowardly miscreants who were guilty of this act, and who immediately fled.
