"TuE DEAR OLD FLAG" Bunting, the
cloth Of which flags are made, is manufac-
turcd at only two mills in this country, in
one of which, Gen. 3. T. Butler is large
owner. 1t costs about ten cents yard in
gold, and to enable Butler to make money,
the new tariff bill puts duty of 81 ,35
per yard upon it! This is the way the
"dear flag" is protected, and it shows the
kind of love that is felt for it, and how
they seek to max" it dear.

Circus Troupe, performed in this place on the
afternoon and evening ofW Wednesday April l0tn,
the dty of the election. These performances
were EXTREMITY good in fact, the only opinion that
we heard expressed on the subject, and that by
several different persons WAS, that they were the
hest company that had visited our town for TWEEN
ty years. The trained dogs performed admirably
and pleased every bcholder: the barrel feat, th"
Trapcza Performers and the hat twirlers could
not lie cxculled. The riding too was very good,
although owing to the rain during the day, and
which came down heavily at night, the ring was
in very bad condition for such purposes. In spite
of the unpropitious state of the weather, large
number witnessed the per fnrmsnccs, of the Com
pany, and all were well pleased and came 10 the
unanimous conclusion that there is no humlug
about Stone, Roston, and Murray. We hope
they will visit lis again during the Simmer.
