The Circus AND MENAGERIE John Robin
sons company, performing in this city, is, be-
yond comparison, the most complete and excel
lent we have witnessed anywhere. We attended
last evening, and found series of unique, won
derful and beautiful feats introduced into the
ring, which astonished all beholders. OF all the
merry men ever introduced into the ring in this
country, for originality, quaint humor, quick
repartee and pungent satire, MIR. John Lowlow
stands foremost and conspicuous. His style of
Glowing differs from all others; it is particular
ly his own-never condescending to borrow the
jokes of others, and telling his own in such a
manner as can not be initiated. He never
makes blund(r, is always sure to hit the right
parties, and his shafts of wit at the expense of
fashionable vice and folles never miss the mark
We are happy in confirming, the high estima-
ton in which he is held among circus managers
as the most gentlemanly wit Of the age. Of
NJ lie Alice we need scarcely speak, from the
fact that her recent performance at the circus
excited the establishment and surprise of the
audience. On the whole the performance of
this company can not fail to please the most fas
tldious; for unlike most exhibitions of the ring,
there is nothing unchaste for the eye to see Or
ear to hear: We would be plased to have them
remain during the week-Louasville Courier

Agricultural Society.

The Register suggests the propriety of organ
izing an Agricultural Society in Rockingham
county, and sustains its suggestion with good
reasons. In speaking of the example set by
this county, the Register says:
"Our sister county of Augusta has recently
inaugurated one under fa1ering auspices The
best and most prominent Of her citizens have
taken hold of the matter, elected the officers,
purchased the grounds, and will soon have the
whole enterprise in living condition. We
ward with the march Of science and public i'm
provement. Let our substantial men take hold
ofthe matter and act with promptness and en-

There would be two hundred and forty two
members of the House of Representatives if
all the members from all the States were pre-
sent. Of these only one hundred members voted
to pass the new Reconstruction bill, over the
veto. As a two-thirds vote, or one hundred
and sixty-odd members, are required to reject
veto, the state of legislation and congressional
action becomes evident. No wonder so many
of the public journals and people of the country
call the present the Trump Congress" What
with exclusions, and reflections, and refusals to
admit, the representation is being gradually
curtailed, just as was the case in the worst days
of the English commonwealth, and during the
