THE GREAT EUROPEAN C1RcUs.-The
fHtree Of this troupe into Rutland on
Saturday, Goth inst, will naturally
create some excitement, as it will be
such a spectacle as is rarely seen any
where. The unique character Of the
dresses of the riders, the curious cars
and splendid equipages, to say nothing
Of the sight of living lion being quietly
drawn through Crowed streets, cannot
fail TO excite interest OF an unusual char
acter, Some idea to what the SHOW
is to be, and the character of the enter
tainment which is to be offered, may be
obtained from the following extract
from letter from Mddletown, Conn.
printed in Hartford paper
Talk about crowds at your election
ceremonies, 1t was nothing to the crowds
that were here to witness the entrance
Of the grand and imposing pageant OF
the European Circus. From early daws
the people from the country, with their
wives and babies, came flOCking in until
Main street was a perfect jam. The
schools were depleted Of most o. their
pupils, and our citizens turned en- masse
to see the expected sight. At about
halEpast nine o'clock the sound OF dis
tant music broke upon our ears, aud
shortly d magnificent procession APP
peared in view, reminding one Of the
tri umphaut entrance Of the Crusaders
into some walled city which for Il long
time they had besieged. There were gay
knights in glistening armor, ladies IN
court costume, Charlots and hOrsemen,
A live lion seated on the top of mag
nihCent chariot seemed as tame a.
kitten. A small carriage, drawn by
Lilliputian horses, all preceded by
splendid brass band, and as they passed
through the several streets people gsZed
with wonder and establishment But If
the street procession was grand, the per-
Torrance inside the vast tent was raore
sO-in short, it was no humbug, but
fully equaled the antiCipations raised Wy
the handbills posted and by the entrance
Of the grand show into our city. The
ridi, g was excellent, the gymnastics
could not be beaten, while the funny
clowns kept the audience in roar u
laughter. The den of lions was one Of
the chief objects of attraction, and the
passage of Scripture saying thai the
lion and the lamb shall lie down to-
gether' was literally fulfilled"
We have been informed by parties
who have witnessed the performances At
this Circus that they are all of a otgh
order, an1 many of them of the most
astonishing character. Our readers are

1t is interesting to watch he progress of manu-

those common articles which require little skill

more sure is our Yankee land to carry off the
palm.
In piano fortes, for instance, it is well known
that those of the best makers among us already
equal, if they do not excel, the best of European
makers. In reed instruments, such as Cabinet
Organs, the superiority is yet more decidedly
with the American instruments. 1t is con-

A YANKEE FARMBR.-A short time
since Mr. Henry G. Post, of Wallingford,
Vt, purchased Col. DeGraw's farm OF
100 acres, located few miles west of
Brook1eld, and adjoining Laclede. In
less than week after the purchase was
completed, Mr., Post had ploughed and
planted, IN corn, over seventy acres OF
this tract. The "natives" opened their
eyes at this display of energy, and, we
believe ALI agree with US, in the Opiu-
fon, that just such meu as MIR. Post are
needed to develop the resources of our
State.
During the past week railroad lands,
located near Brookt1eld, have been sold
to G. W. Quincy, of Broome county, N.
I W. }. Long, and Jacob S. Long, Am
boy, Ill, Chas, A, ButterfieId, raw Paw,
Mich; Collier Hemiuway, Iowa s. NJ.
Kelsey, Syracuse, N. Y; and G.. Math-
ewsoD, Chenange county, N. Y. This
shows the character of the immigration
chat BroOksfield is getting. During the
past month over fifty well-to, do New
York farmers have purchased lands 10
this vicinity. Is it any wonder that
Brooksfield is an enterprising town.

consistent with the policy of retrench.
ment and economy which the Legisla-
ture as well as the Executive had hith-

4th, Because the burden of taxation
which weigh so heavily on all our PEG,
pie should be mitigated, rather than
aggravated by their servants, when the

JuAREz, in his address to the Mexican
people, states that the Republic has
been preserved without any foreign aid,
aud that the Mexican people have no
Que to thank for the overthrow of the
Empire but themselves. This is doubt
less very flattering to the vanity OF that
vain people, but IT is SO utterly false as
10 appear silly. The United States over
threw the Empire by refusing recogni-
ton. the valiant Mexican people either
submitted, or kept up a guerilla war
fare against an enemy not one-tenth as
large US themselves. Whenever regn-
lar battle was fought they were whip
ped, and would to-day, SO far as their
own exertions are concerned, have been
subjects OF Macmillan, and not citi-
zsns OF republic. We dislike bonn
bast on principle, but when 50 entirely
false, it becomes silly.
