The GREAT EUROPEAN CIRCUs.-The entrce OF
this troupe into Lynn, on Wednesday next, will
naturally create some excitement, il will be such
a spectacle as is rarely seen anywhere The
unique character of the dresses Of the riders the
curious cars and splendid equpages, to say moth
ing of the sight of a living lion being quietly
drawn through crowded streets, cannot fail to ex-
cite interest Of an unusual character. Some idea
of what the show IS to be, and the character of
the entertainment which is to be offered may be
obtained from the following extract from letter
from Middletown, Conn, printed in Hartford
paper,
it nothing to the crowds that were here to
witness the entrance of the grand and imposing
pageant of the European Circus. From carly
dawn the people from the country, with their
wives and babies, came iiockng in until Main
street was perfect Jam. The schools were de-
pleted Of most Of their pupils and our citizens
turned out en- B,aSse to see the expected sight AT
about half-past nine O'Clock the sound Of distant
music broke upon our ears, and shortly a mag
nihcent procession appeared in view, reminding
one of the triumphant entrance of the Crusaders
into some walled city which for a long time they
had beseged. There were gay knights in gs-
tening armor ladies in court costume, chariots
and horsemen. A live lion, seated on the top OF
q magnificent chariot, seemingly AS tame as a kit
ten. Asma carriage, drawn by Lilliputian horses
all preceded by splendid brass band and as they
passed through the several streets people gazed
with wonder and establishment But il the Street
procession was grand, the performance inside the
vast tent was more so-in short, il was no humbug
but fully eqused the anticipations raised by the
handbills posted and by the entrance OF the grand
show into our city. The riding was excellent
the gymnastics could not be beaten, while the
funny clowns kept the audience in roar Of laugh
ter. The den OF lions was one of the chief OBJ
ects OF attraction, and the passage of scrptur,
saying that the lion and the lamb shall lie down
together was literally fulfilled"
We have been informed by parties who hav,
Witnessed the performances Of this Circus that the,
are all Of high order, and many of them of th,
most astonishing character. Our readers are 70

Mason & HAMLN CABINET ORGANs-It is
very seldom that any business furnishes So good
an example OF true enterprise as the manufacture
Messrs Mason & Hamlin, of Boston, Mass. It
seems but as yesterday that the mention of a reed
instrument suggested naught but snRrling, fine
tooth-comb music, and yet such vast improve
ment has been made that the quality Of tone is
now hardly recognized as coming from reed If
our musical readers will personally examine it,
they will agree with us, that the Cabinet Organ
will fully bear out allthat is said Of it.-Lomspiie

TnB vrro.--we doubt whether as many as half
dozen OF our readers to know the Presidents
for yeoing the explanatory reconstruction
bill, and TO these we refer the remarks of Gen. But
Ter, as being in the main, and somewhat in detail
directly opposite to the message. To the opposite
of this speech add that the President appeals the
people on charge that Congress is encroaching
upon executive power, and you will have a good
idea Of the veto message.
Appeal to the people Why, Mr.. President, have
you yet discovered that in every appeal ofyours
to the people against Congress- the people have Civ
en- judgment against you? The people, great
jority Of them, North and South, East and West
black and whte,-are against your policy and,
could a vote be taken to-day, you would be invited
to resign by than three quarters of the loyal
men Of the country. It has been said that a Gov
ernor Of Massachusetts once went in by large ma
jority, and ont by unanimous vote. President
johnson is following this precedent.

Those of our readers who carefully perlsed the
acts of the extra session Of the legislature held last
spring, will call to mind that the which author
lied the towns the lines of the proposed railroad
from Montpelier to st. Johnsbury, to aid in the con
structon OF the road, provided that the consent Of
the towns should be obtained, not in the usual meth
od Of holding legal meeting and voting openly up
on the question but by obtaining the registration OF
a majority of the legal voters well as a majority
of the amount represented in the grand list. This
exceptional, and we believe ill.advised provision,
seems likely to cause trouble in st. Iohnsbury at
least, where several meetings have been held by
those who are opposed to the measure.

FuDor MANY newspapers arc publishing dis
patch from New Orleans TO the effect that Santa An
ma on reaching Mexico, recently, presented paper
bearing the seal of the L. and the signatures Of
President Johnson and Secy Seward, in which
Santa Anna was invited to become Dictator of Mex
leo, and WAS promised the support Of the United
States. We received the same on Thursday, but
rejected because of its evident falsity. The Pres
ident has just shown that he do very foolish and
absurd things, but he certainly could not sign such
paper as that when he knew its contents; neither
could Secy Seward We hardly think Santa Anna
