Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

On the 8th inst. Herr Driesbach, a famous lion tamer, attached to a traveling menagerie, took out with him at Baltimore, a pet leopard under his arm. He, with others, slighted from their carriage and went to a coffee house. A boy, about twelve years of age, was pushed by his companions against the leopard, which, in a great rage, took the boy’s head into his mouth, wounding his head and face severely. Driesbach, after a desperate effort, rescued the boy, by thrusting his hand down the animal’s throat. Diesbach was arrested and sent to prison, but afterward admitted to bail.
