esst .sins have been disastrous not only TO wheat
but to CORN as the ground has been made too wet to

John McKcough, for excessive punishment of
David Humphrey, lad in his employ, fined three

without any adequate provocstion beat the boy
.(who is about ten years of age) in brutal and in
human manner over the head and neck with stave.

Of late. When this company visited US last year

season. We observe that the lis. of performers is
nearly the same as then. We will not take the re-
sponsibilty of advising our readers to attend the
circus, but If they MUST 60 we advise them by all
means to patronize Spalding Rogers, whose en-
tertsinments we know to be less Objectionable to
the refined and fastidious than those Of any other
company of the kind. 2 m

considerable money by the operation. has now basely
deserted them without the means to return to their

the City Council, but that body refused to give any,

The RIGHr KIND OF GurTER..-Alr. j. b.
Dougher,y is constructing in front of his premises
On Mulberry street stone gutter. 1t is three feet
and half wide. and seven inches below the curb
stone-thus affording ample room to carry on ali
the water during ordinary rains. This kind OF gut
ter is not only permanent and durable than
The wooden, but costs less. We hope other property
swners will initiate the example of Mr.. Dougherty
4 making substantial guttering. We should like
10 see stone guttering the full length of Mulberry
street. =. it sadly needs such an improvement.
