A Fearful scene,


During the late exhibition of Vac Am.
burgh's menagsris al Monougahela City,
fearful and exciting scene occurred. 1t
appears that shortly after the audience
had assembled. terrific storm arose,
which tore the CANVASS into rags, and
threatened serious injury to the specta-
tors. While the storm King roared and
reveled. one of the huge tigers got out of
his cage, which added nsw terror to The
scene. The vast assembly swayed from

closure; others cut themselves passage
through the canvass, and all rushed with
alarm foT any place Of escape, prelerring
to brave the storm to taking theil ch4nce
OF life amid the crashing Of timbars and
furious wild boasts. Women shrieked
for help and children cried; strong men
looked pale, and taking the confusion of
the multitud9 and the raging of the storm
the scene was fearful aud appalling. The
keepers Of the animals stood by the cages
of these wild denizsns OF the woods and
jungles with anxious looks. The man
who kept the elephant Hannibal stood in
front Of the huge brute with his hands
upon his tusks, as pale as a corpse. One

Ambnrgh, into the same cage with tho
lion, and the hing Of the woods bad put
his huge paw upon him, and was hold
ing him ught upon the floor. Nature,
grand, tsrribls, was on exhibition at this
show. After some IN oments of fearful
confusion the storm ceased, and the an-

To the Farmers of TEeigs County,
NTE again call your attention to the fact
w that we are prepared to execute all or
ders for CARDlNG or GRINDING at our Iill,
near the Courthouse, in Pomeroy. s
The reports we have from our work Of last
year fully confirms US in the belief that it has
given general satisfaction in quantity and
quality of rolls, proportioned to the cleanli-
ness, quantity and quality of Wool. This fact,
together with the necessity of the most rigid
economy. in view of the great and pressing
wants of our Government, which must be GUS
tanned in this her hour of greatest peril, at any
and all sacrifices and also the scarcity and
high price of cotton, and the uncertainty Of fu-
rure supplies, induces us to believe that 1t large
amount OF Wool will be worked up the comm q
season; and have therefore prepared ourselves
accordingly, by putting our machines in the
beet Of order, and securing the services of Mr..
DAVID JENKINS, a former owner Of the mill,
and the best Carder in the county
While We thank you for past flvors, permit
MS to admonish every one who can procure a
pound of Wool, 10 bring it to us, well clennsed,
tusing as little soap as possible, with one
pound Of clean grease to every 1bs of W ool SO
that can grease it ourselves just before
working, and we will insure good work.
