Elephantine Gambols.

--One of the elephants connected with Smith's Menagerie, now wintering at Norwalk, got out of the bars the other night, by breaking down the doors, passed across a field, walked off with a gate, went to a house and rapped on the window, sending the family flying out of the door through fright, and then helped herself to a heap of apples in the yard. Her keeper appeared and the huge animal quietly followed him to her quarters, with her trunk full of pippins.
