The Circus Troupe comprises many first
class acrobatic performers, vaulters, tight
rope dancers, and professors of ground aud
lofty tumbling. The Menagerie contains a
number of wild beasts aud trained mon
keys, besides the Great Beast and some of
the fcrcest boed- hounds in the world
There are also many mineral and other
curiesities.
The performance will commence as us
ual, at the crack of the whip of the great
RING MASTER, THAD. STEVENS. This fa-
nous Individual was imported into Penn
sylvania from Vermont and was procured
for this Circus at great expense to Uncle
Sam, (who is the real owrer of the estab-
h.hment, though only silent partner in
the concern). The Ringmaster will per-
form on the tight rope, part for which be
is so eminently fitted, that all who appreci-
ate him as he deserves, hope he may end
lis days on it. He is considered shining
light in ''the ling" t.. -
The famous CLOVIS, CHARLEY SUMNER,
will represent "The Colored Man" and
will sing his original Comic Song-"I Wish
I was IN Andy's Place !" ..a
The Two-FAcED MONKEY, HENRIJARA-.
MUSD, will show his astonishing agility by
Ieaping from one side of the fence to the
other 50 rapidly that very few persons can
rell on which side he really is. This won
derful animal was caught in one of the ''el-
bows of the Mincio," in Italy. He has but
one body aud head, and apparently but llt-
brains-but he has two distinct faces, one
black, the other white. looking in opposite
directions. -Er ss3-l "a. .t.-.-s..r
The other Trained Monkeys, some of
which have been taught TO pronounce the
words "Mr Speaker and Impeachment"
quite distinctly, will perform many wonder
fu and langbable antics. IL ".. f. r.u
Some of the animals are very disorderly,
they are allsvery cowafdly, especially the
Bloodhounds. All the beasts are designa-
ted BY ianciful aud appropriate names, c
The following named curosities will be
exhibited: .v5..
Tie GREAT Beast BIaBETHElFoRTFlsH-
ERDocroRBuTIER. This immense brute,af-
ter being several times unsucctssfully pur-
sued in the Southern States, was finally
captured in Massachusetts, and sent to the
Mcnagerie. He feeds on gold plate, silver
spoons and New Orleans coin, and while in
Norfolk, Va, he flourished upon diet of
dog-tals. HIS fAvor1te drunk is womens
tears. He has horror of blood, except
at safe distance. He was once nearly
choked in trying to swallow a Wisconsin
Brick. Having been born in the middle
of the week, be has looked both ways for
Sunday so long that he has acquired the
singular faculty Of looking in several direc-
tioEs at the same time. q He vas once So
small as to be put into bottle, but is now
swelling to IN enormous size. Ha ..s
The GREAT CAKE, from Schuylkill Co,
Pa Though very soft aud fat, this Cake
is in good state Of preservation. 1t is
so large and heavy that it was only raised
to its present elevated position by means OF
Guys. The Guys were broken in the opera
ton. IT,. .-sf ..f-. e... ~.
A small kettle of ASH LEY, from Ohio
This Ley, though very weak. aud utterly
unfit for any good or useful purpose, is se-
markable for its extreme bitterness. Snail
doses of it are sometimes administered to
the animals TO make them jump around
and roar. .a7

nv wears in Congress-. it is2 almost worn
out, AID looks black and smells badly.
