CIRCUs-Gardner Hemmiugs Il Co.'S
Circus gave two exhibitions here on Sat
urday last. to large audiences, and, so far
as we understand, gave general satisfac
ton
The circus is quite an institution with
come people. The boys horde their dimes
weeks beforehand, denying themselves
their usual quota of sweetmeats, nick
nacks, toys, etc, for the purpose of being
flush" when the show comes The
highly colored bandbills are eagerly pc
rused and discussed. Tom wonders
whether they can do so many wonderful
things, or whether these feats exist only
Oh paper. Jack assures him they have
been done before, to his certain knowl-
edge, and proceeds to give the date, To-
cality and the particular hero who per
formed these marvels Each one resolves
to be OH hand when the canvas is struck
and to see all that is To he seen. They
count the days,-then the hours to elapse
before the grand procession" comes off,
and when it does come into town-with
its band-wagon, drawn by from ten to
thirty animals, with its speckled horses,
trained mules, and dear little" ponies,
with its music. good probably, but GER
tainly old enough ),-eyery one is on the
lookout; windows open, shutters are
thrown up, and all, large and small,
throng about the doors.
Afterwards, comes the grand entertain
ment. A great many go from the city.
but more still from the country. Painted
women, with short dresses, and bedaubed
men, with fierce boards, ride fiery steeds,
nimble men and diminutive boys turn
somersaults, little girls jump through
hoops covered with paper, and the clown
repeats some ne,c jokes, and winds up by
knocking down the ringmaster The
weather is warm, and the crowd does not
make it any cooler; but every one knows
what is coming, and therefore improves
the opportunity to make clatter The
boys yell, the women giggle, the men
smoke and chatter, and every one is sup
posed to be experiencing the highest
possible amount of enjoyment. Ginger
bread, 'ice-cold lemonade" candies,
oranges, etc, are in demand, aud notwith-
standing every Article is of an inferior
quality and commands two or three pri-
ces, still everything goes off with rush.
Then the side-shows open out in full
blast-monkies of all varieties, wonder
full snakes, dogs with more legs than the
law allows, fat men, small women, etc
The din of loud talking by the manager
and his patrons, the screeching of crack
ed melodians, and the wailing of broken
dulcimers-what babel they create,
Fou come away fully convinced that
the circus and its Accomplishments has
not lost its hold on the masses, in spite of
its antiquity and sameness.

CooL-About one or two O'Clock yes
terday morning, as citizen of East
Wheeling was returning to his home
from the First Ward, he was met at the
Market House corner by two soldiers,

whether he had met two men running
up Main street The citizen replied that
he had not, when he was informed that
two men had escaped from the military
prison, and as their orders were to arrest
all suspicious-looking persons, he was
prisoner. The soldiers took hold OF the
citizen, and by the time they had idsn-

An ESTABLISHED BUsISEsS.-The advertise
ment of Geo C. Perkins, wholesale and retail deal
er in groceries, provisions, liquors, ETC.. at Orovile
will be found in our paper, to-day In this connec
tion, IL is worthy of mention that, notwithstand-
ing his youth and the comparatively short time he
has been engaged in business, Mr.. Perkins has
established one of the most permanent and pros
porous mercantile houses in Northern California.
The qualities necessary to acquire such an extend
ed and lucrative trade that they are be-
coming widely known, and the advantages secured
in dealing with George are properly appreciat-
ed. Having mammoth stock always on hand he
sells at the lowest figures, making up for small
profits By large sales The evident reluctance
with which he receives ''the ready spelter" from
his customers enhances rather than decreases the
pleasure of business relations-his energy and
promptness flowing more from genuine love OF
biz than of gain. As the strongest proof of MI.
Perkins peculiar business capacity and discrimina
ton, the fact of his being the first in Oroyllie
to see the great advantages of advertising in our
columns sufficiently attests. We advise all who
design trading below TO give Mr.. Perkins call and
save the expense of trip to the Bay.-SusanriLe

II The CELEBRATIoS-Tb eighty ninth an
niversary of our National Independence was
duly observed on Tuesday last. There were
many residents from all parts Of the county in
attendance. The Bangor Guards. commanded
by Capt. Watson, favored us with their pres
euce. The entire company turned out, making
q splendid appearance, going through the drill
exercise with as much familiarity as expert
enced veterans. and with will joined in the
celebration to make glorious the patriotic
occasion. This patriotic band, with the Oro-
vile Guards, commanded By Capt. Hunt,
formed the principal procession and added the
greatest interest to the exercises OF the day.
After marching through the principal streets,
the military companies halted at the Grove in
front OF the speakers stand. John Dick, Esq-,
read, with loud and distinct voice. the Dec
laration Of lndependence-after which, the
orator of the day. Hon. j. G. Eastman. Of
siarysville, delivered 90 able, eloquent aud pa
trio'ic oration, which was listened 10 with
the greatest attention, and was received with
the greatest satisfaction. The exercises OF
the day closed with q grand ball in the even
ing at Armory Hall. The Hall was overflow
ing with beautiful women and brave men,
tripping the light fantastic toe, to most ex
cellent music, till broad daylight, and not till
the sun had mounted the eastern horizon did
the merry dancers reach their respective DOM

DIED.

MEDICAL ApvIcE.-Dr. Wna. X. Doherty's Med
ical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine cuG
non to the welfare of our State and health of our
citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputation. al
though it may excite surprise, is but the signal of
skill, and follows as the natural effect Of such
cause. We are personally acquainted with gentle
men who had suffered for years under chronic dis
ease, and who had taken advantage of every
available means that promised relief. but without
success, until they called upon DR.. Dohsrty, who,
in an incredibly short space of time, has given
them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to announce
this fact because the Doctor is a gentleman who
seeks not by defamation of Others to establish his
reputation. or TO rear the superstructure of his
own upon the rule of an0ther's fame. The Doctor
conducts his Institute in such manner that must
be gratifying to all his patients. He examines
advises and recommends without charge, and the
patient after hearing his terms for treatment,
accept or reject at pleasure. In does the
Doctor make a charge unless he effects cure
This he is able TO do, because he feels the conf
dence which long experience has given, and no
doubt the consolation which appertans to that
confidence. Persons afflicted with either acute or
chronic diseases, would do well to consult the Doc
tor: at all events il can do no HARM as for consul
tation he asks no fee; does he insist Obedi
ence to his advice unless the patient places himself
under his care. His Offices are Sacramento
street, opposite the Pacific Mail Steamship Office.
