CONE AND GoNE.--We had two circuses in
town last week, besides the great Calliope, the
immense music shriel.er. First come Nixon &
Bemp's grand consolidated circus, on Tuesday
accompanied by HE CaIliope. This steam mn.
steal instrument which has made about as much
noise through the papers. as it did through our
streets, Of course drew in crowds, and though
they came in probably, of their own free will,
yet we believe it was the general impression
that they were .'takeu in" The most we can
say Of steam music, is, that we have heard and
seen the Calliope, and that is something. The
less said OF the circus that accompanied it, the
better
Spadng and Rogers consolidated circus
though coming close ON the heels of it's prede-
cessor and alt ough it had no steam screecher
to herald its approach still drew together a
crowd that in the evening even surpassed that
Of few evenings previous. But it was sum-
marily dispersed Just as the performances of the
evening were closing,by the sudden approach of
a squall of wind, rain, hail, and thunder and
lightning that threatened to bring down the
canvass bat we believe our citizens generally
had time to get housed before the raincame Ii
