Dan Rice's Great Show.-The popular
wit and clever gentleman, Dan Rice, an
nounces i'll our advertising columns to-
day, that he will pitch his tent among us
on Saturday, the 9th inst, and aided by
many of the greatest Stars" of the arena,
and his really wonderful School of Sacred
and Trained Animals, give farewell en-
tertainnent. He positively promises to
signalize his last appearance by assuming
for the first time in several years, his un-
approachable role Of Clown. This is sug-
gestive of AN uratorical and mirth pro-
Voking treat that needs no aid of ours to
irresistabiy attract. Mr.. Rice will exhibit
and lecture upon his beautiful and rare
herd of Sacred Caltie-thc ONLY ones of
their Interesting species in the civilized
w0rld. He will also introduce his mar
vel OF equine sagacity-the blind talking
iOrse Excelsior, Jr.; the magnificent
thOrobrel trick horse Stephen \. Doug
l',s, the immensely funny clown mules
pete and Barney, and a whole troupe of
equestrian monkeys. We are assured that
nothing in the least improper, or offensive
t. the most sensitive, will be tolerated, and
look TO see the great representative of
american humor reccivea hearty greeting.
Hogs, &C.-Wc notice bills posted up
10y the High Constable requiring hogs,
horses, mules, and sheep TO be penned up
by the 10Th April. Our streets generally
are in good condition, but a number of
alleys never were in worse. Of these the
one leading from Main TO Brown streets
is almost impossible to vehicles, it being
in some places completely bloclladed with
coal ashes, manure, rubbish, the trim
mings of rose bushes, &c. No notice of
removal ought TO be given in such cases,
out the ordinances at once enforced, pre-
cisely in the same way as if "A street would
be obstructcd.
Money Lost or Stolen.-N. J. Rudisill last
week lost or was robbed of about 500 on
tho rars batv-anp pi,ilo1aIpI,io a nd Tr,,-,,
ingtown. He had been purchasing some
goods, and OH returning very injudicious-
~ counted what money he had left while
seated i'm the cars. Although he supposes
10 one saw him, there is little doubt one
OF the numerous pickpockets always on
the lookout saw it in his possession some
where, and madca spec" Moral-Never
count in public or show any considerable
sum OF money away from home.
The Oollectorship ip.-Johnson still contin-
ues the farce OF nominating candidates
for the c0iicctorship of this district-Gen.
John Ross having last week been nOmi-
mated and rejected, and since then Edward
Roberts has been brought on the carpet
Tor senatorial examination. There was
no reason in the first place for removing
Mr.. Roger, "a faithful, responsible and ef-
iicicmt officer, and as the Senate is now
asserting its undoubted prerOgatiye of b.
ing part of the appointing power, we
trust it will reject all the time-serving
politicians who may now be offered un-
til he is restored, or leave the office in
statu quo.
The ChiIdIens Jubilee held in the Presby-
terrain church on Sunday afternoon last,
was the largest gathering of the kind ever
assembled in Lewistown. Not less than
seven hundred Sunday School scholars
made the edifice resound with merry peals
Of song, going up like the shout of great
army marching to victory, which was
taken up by veteran corps OF officers,
teachers, and friends of the cause, num-
herring several hundred more. Rev. Ed
win NJ. Long, of Philadelphia, delivered
a childrcu's sermon on Hiding Places, IL
lustrated by large paintings. After other
interesting exercises the audience dispers-
ed, satisfied more fully than before per-
haps, that such fraternity is promotive Of
much good to the work of love in which
they are engaged.
