Reynolds VARrErIEs--0ur Show-going people,
were vastly entertained with the exhibition given
here by the aforesaid concern on last Tuesday night
II was slightly ahead of anything in the way of a
Show that has ever pitched tent ON "Circus Hill 2
The menagerie portion of this mammoth establish
ment consisted Of no less than four cages filled with
On endless variety of dogs, cats birds and monkeys
Tiger, almost as large as a common cat and in APP
pearance and ferocty of look very like the latter
The docility of this terrific beast, under the hands
Of his keeper, was a wonderful Illustration of the
dominion of mind over the "animule.' But the
"Lion" OF the OCCASION was the far famed "Cari-
beast fearfully flung together into the shape of a
cow having head body legs and tail like the latter
After having exhausted the wonders of the inn

mances. Preluding their commencement, the Or

clog Eye" Here the drop curtain, looped upon q
string and looking, as we imagine the garment Of
Queen Isabellas, of Spain, must have appeared
which in accordance with a rash vow, knew moi
abluton for two years. attracted general attention
The brilliancy of this scenic arrangement was not
a little heightened by the dazzling glare of some
two or three tallow candles. After the rising Of
the curtain the audience were kept in a continuous
exstacy, with a most piquant melange of singing
dancing, dog and monkey tricks. The wonderful
performance of the dog, such as standing on his
hind legs, laying down. jumping through HOOP
and climbing pair of steps, laid Blondins late
achievements in the shade. The audience were dis
missed by the proprietor with the announcement
that doors would open again in few minutes tc
exhibit an individual born without arms, feet bead
or body. Having seen, however, as much as they
could well digest only one or two fingered to SCI
the remaining curiosity. The visit of such an enor
nous concern as this is highly aatterng to our pre-
tensions as city, and trust soon to have Blondin
Piccoomini, Mariso, Grisi, and other metropolitan
institutions make their appearance before us.

Bsas- The proposition to vote bonds for street i'm
provcmcnts has been submitted in two forms, and
twice defeated. Our opinion is that these votes do
not cvnce hostility to the issue Of bonds much
as to the vague and indefinite shape in which the
proposition is presented The voters want to know
exactly how much money is wanted for certain
specified Improvements, and require that those i'm
provements shall be of prime necessity. Now the
surplus of the city is pledged, for several
years, to the grading of Second Gross to the bridge,
and il is matter of great importance that said
street shall Nc forthwith mettalled for if it be not
done befoleSthe winter rains and travel tear it to
pieces, the work of grading will have to be done
over again, in part and at a cost quite equivalent
to that of metalling it now. Then IN this case of
obvious necessity would not the voters consult the
interests of the town. and subscrvc the of true
economy by voting the bonds necessary to complete
and save the work already done? We think a
proposition to that effect if submitted by the Board,
will carry, even with the addition of a sum suiii-
cient to improve College street Both are weeks OF
importance and we do not think there is enough OF
sectional feeling in the town to defeat them. Shall
it be tried
