THE CGRcUs.-A circus came into town,
and everybody knows how the music and the
grand tent and horses set all the boys agog.
Quarters of dollars and shilings are in great
demand and many a choice bit of money
have the circus riders carried away which was
meant for better purposes,

PRosPECTs OF OHIO.-A correspon-
dent Of the Democratic Banner pub
lished at Mount Vernon, Ohio, writing
from Cleveland, the hot-bed of Adolf
tionism, says:
The split in the Republican ranks in
Ohio is now too positive to be recon-
ciled. 1t was made manifest by the
proceedings at Oberlin. Although
do not believe that q second ticket
will be put in nomination by that par
ty, yet it is obvious that thousands
and tens Of thousands of honest, con-
scientous, law-abiding men in the Re-
publican ranks IN Ohio, will not follow
such fanatics as Giddings, Spaulding
g. Co., in all their wild schemes of re-
volution and disuniOn.
The Democracy will carry Ohio by
a sweeping majority next fall. This is
the opinion Of every intelligent man |
have conversed with here, and even
candid men among the Republicans
frankly admit that they see but little
hope of success for their party. The
recent proclamation of Judge Spaul-
ding that the Republicans will throw
Judge Peck and Scott overheard, as
soon as their present terms expire, has
added at least fifteen thousand to the
Democratic strength in Ohio in this
campaign. This l do not say unad-
visedly.

We stated . few days ago, says
the Pennsylvania, upon information
deemed reliable, that the chances we're
multiplying that Kansas would enter
the Union upon the side Of the Democ-
racy. The Herald Of Freedom, pub
lished at Lawrence, in examining the
result of the recent conventional cleo
ton, closes long article upon the
subject with the following paragraph ::
ave are conscious that we shall be
charged with desire to play into the
hands Of the Democracy because Of
this article. Our design is to show our
friends in the States the great strength

and show how mnch has been gained
BY proving false to pledges, and organ
izing a new party with new tests, for
the purpose Of giving aid and comfort
to party out outside Of Kansas. We
mean to say further, that the late vote
is significant of the future and renders
the prospect Of final Democratic
triumph more than probable. and the

The weather has been as favorable as
it could have been, so that the crop
has been taken in in most excellent

of another month. The boats will
then commence running regularly, and

The fat local of the Cleveland Demo
crat takes off the account of Mons.
Blondin's "rope walk" over Niagara in
the following rich style. Those who
have read the particulars in the papers
will appreciate it
"On the morning Of the Fourth, the
local editor of prominent evening
daily paper in Buffalo, accomplished a
feat which places Mons. Blondin's tight
rope act at Niagara quite in the shade.
He crossed Main street, the principal
street in Buffalo. on cross-walk with
out stepping off. When it is known
that the aforesaid local had been en-
ployed in seeing the old Fourth of Ju-
ly out and the new Fourth in, some
idea may be formed Of the magnitude
of the undertaking. The cross-w walk
chosen for this daring feat leads from
Thomas Saloon to the Terrapin Lunch.
The sidewalks OF each side of Main
street were crowded with spectators,
by far the greater number being on the
side on which the Terrapin is located,
they being sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust in his ability to per
form It, and his willingness to treat
when he got over. Numerous Star
Spangled Banners were flying in the
air, and numerous bands were PLAYING
the air Of the Star Spangled Banner,
while Calithumpian band were put
ting on airs generally. At about 8
O'Clock, the local emerged from Thorn
as Saloon and was greeted with i'm
mense applause by the crowd on the
other sidewalk, who were impatient
to have him come across and treat
1t was really treat to come across
such enthusiastic fellows.
Before attempting to cross, he per-
formed numerous wonderful feats, such
as telling the time Of day, walking .
crack on the side walk, seeing a hole
though aladder, etc. The cross walk
was about thirty feet in length, and 10
order to make it steady, he had taken
about thirty glasses Of bock-beer as
guys, thus affording one guy to each
foot, without mentioning the "Guys"
on the opposite sidewalk, who were
standing by in expectation Of . drink.
Like many other performers, he was
dressed in tights, having been tight for
two weeks before, in preparation for
his feat. Only once did he betray
the slightest irresolution, and that was
when his eagle eye took in the i'm
mense concourse on the other aide,
waiting for him to treat. Scoring 4
balance-pole, he steadied himselfa mo-
ment against = lamp-post, and then,
amidst the breathless attention of the
spectators, he commenced his terrible
walk. When about half way across.
he produced q ball Of Irvine from bis
pocket, and retaining one end of the
Irvine, threw the bali to the other aide.
where il was caught dexterously by
Mr.. Terrapin, { author of Terrapin
