Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

It is stated that the keeper of the tigers belonging to the extensive menagerie which was exhibited in this town a few months since, was torn to pieces and literally eaten up by them, a few days since, in a town near New Haven, Conn. He had been in the habit of entering their cage, and did so several times while they were here-at the evident hazard of his life. The day before he was killed, having entered their cage as usual, the tigers prevented his getting out for several hours, and he was only rescued by administering to them stupifying articles in their food. The following day this foolhardy individual again entered their cage, when they fell upon him and instantly tore him in pieces.-Mass. Whig.
