During a late circus and menagerie
exhibition in Flemingsburg, KY, there
suddenly came up a violent storm Of
wind and rain which threatened to
interfere with the performance. At
first there was but little excitement
among the spectators; but finally the
stakes of the outer canvas gave way;
then the immence center-pOle Of the
large one commenced to sway and
grOan, and the sides to flop and give
wqy; the lions commenced to grOwI
and roar, the elephant to swing his
huge prObOscis around, and the horses
to neigh and stamp, the women shri-
eked; the confusion was indescribale,
and the excitement the widest ever
seen in Flemingsburg. Everybody
rushed pellmell for the entrance, gem
tlman and ladies in confused mass cal
ling alternately for help and friends
OF course, on the top seats some jump
ed TO the bottom, some fell through
some were caught and suspended while
falling, and great many cut their
way through the canvas At this
juncture the elephant broke out a
mOng the peOble and created q perfect
panic of terror. The rain was falling
in torrents, the lightning flashed and
the thunder crashed. Men In their
fright ran against the ticket-wagon
over ladies, wildly to and fro. Many
Of the ladies tainted and fell but fOrtu-
nately none were killed or scared to
death. After the storm had abated
the great canvas was explored, but no
one was found to be seriously injured.

/
C0rrespondence Of the Advertiser.
AUGUST 31st, 1868.
A trip up the Mississippi at this sea-
son of the year is exceedingly delight
full. All the way there is the most
beautiful and attractive scenery; and
as you ascend the river it increases in
beauty and grandure. Upon every
hand there is the indication of thrift
and prosperity. All the way in Illi-
nois, Iowa and Minnesota the crops
were never better. Minnesota this
year has the largest and best wheat
crops she has ever raised.
The largest and most important
town on the Mississippi, above st.
Louis, is Quincy, ILL.,; town of 30,
900 inhabitants, situated on the east
bank of the Mississippi, one Hundred
and sixty-two miles above ST. Louis.
Quincy is improving very rapidly; a
great many very nice fine buildings
are being put up this season. Her
principle business is trade in mer-
chandise, grain and fruit. She can't
boast of her manufactures or water
works.
Quincy is situated in the midst of a
very fertile country, and on high
and healthy elevation from the river.
The railroad bridge, which spans the
river at this place, is nearly completed.
1t is being built by a bridge company
for the use of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroad. The bridge
is built on the principle of the wooden
trestle suspension, and consists of
twenty four spans, eighteen across the
main channel, and six across the bay.
The superstructure is being furnished
by the Detroit bridge company of De-
troit, Michigan.
The next town of importance as you
pass up the river is Keokuk, Iowa; a
town of about 10, 900 inhabitants. Ke-
okuk is situated on quite high ele-
walton of land or plateau, two hundred
and eighty miles from st. Louis. The
title to her real estate has for long
time been in controversy, which has
been very detrimental to her prosper
ity. This question has finally been
settled, and the town is improving
very rapidly.
The river here is obstructed by
rapids, which extend from Keokuk
up twelve miles to Montrose. They
are usually known as the Des Moines
rapids. When the river is exceedingly
low they are impossible for boats of
the lightest draft; and the river being
very low at the present time, all travel
and transportation is by rail from
KeOkuk to MOntrOse or Ft. Madison.
This of course is done at the expense
of occasional delays and great labor
of shifting freight from boats to cars,
and from cars to boats. To obviate
this a steamship cannal is being con-
structed around these rapids, which is
to be sufficient for the passage of
steamboats, at any stage of water.
This canal in many places will in
clude a portion of the bed of the
river, separated from the main chan
mel by embankments.

Ex-Gov. Seymour says: "Under
its (COngress's( influence, some Of the
States organized by its agents are pro-
posing to deprive the people Of the
right of vote for Presidential electors,
and the first bold steps. are taken to
destroy the right Of suffrage" Should
any of the Southern States cast their
electoral votes through their Legisla-
lures, instead of by electors elected by
the people, it will be only what South
Carolina, a Democratic State of the
olden time, has always done until
now. The Democrats Of Sauth Caro-
lima will have the first opportunity
they ever enjoyed of Ofvoting for Presi-
Dental electors. Ifthis is a bold step
taward destroying the right Ofsuffrage,
why did not the Democratic party
find it out when it was so long practic-
ed by them?-N Y. Tribune.

The Buffalo Commercial Of the 18th
instant publishes the following thrill
ing incident: We learn by a gentle
man who came up from Niagara Falls
this morning, that a startling incident
occurred yesterday afternoon. A little
girl, while getting upon the railing Of
the bridge leading from the main land
to Goat Island. lost her balance and
fellintO the rapids. Instantly young
man named MOultOn, who resided at
Auburn, plunged in to rescue the
child. GTasping the little one and
keeping her head above water both
We're swept on toward the precipiee,
and obstruction seemed evitable. But
MOultOn, being an expert swimmer,
struggled manfully with the rushing
torrent and succeeded in reaching the
shore, only about fifteen feet from the
brink Of the cataract. 1t was a most
humane and daring act.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A Man shot IN Thirty-two Places--A
Woman In the Case.

From the Peoria Transcript Sept 22l
A desperate shooting affmy took place
on Sunday morning last, in Havana, Mason
county, by which John Bennett was des.
perately wounded. II appears that thcre is
n widow woman named Steen living in Ha-
vana. This woman has q daughter Mary
Jane Steen, and, o maj named James
Young, it il said, has been keeping her for
the last six months. For several evenings
during the last week, boys and young men
have been i'm the habit of stoning Mrs.
Stems house. She finally went to a CON
stable and made complaint; and the con-
stable gave her a revolver and told her to
shoot the first man who disturbed the
house.
On the morning in question, at about
three o'clock, two young men named
George Harrison and John Bennett went to
the house and asked to see Mary Jane
Steen. The old lady asked them II they
could speak to her from where they stood.
Bennett said mo and raped hard on the
door. The door was opened from the in
side. Bennett declares he did not break it
open, and he stepped inside and received a
charge Of fine shot under the right shout
der, thirty-two of the shot piercing his
breast. When the shot was fired Mrs.
Steen screamed, "My God, you have killed
him" Bennett replied, "No you haven't.
II was that jim Young who shot me, and l
can whip him the best day he ever saw. -
Harrison ran for assistance, and while he
was gone Bennett called to others for as
sistance.
A crowd gathered, and the wounded
man was taken TO John Miller's livery sta
BILE, and was attended by Drs. Martin and
n,Tanlurga I'm tha way 1ntvn be
claimed that Young was the man who shot
him, but the Steen family say that il was
done by n son of Mrs. Steen's-a lad about
10 years OF age-and of an unsound mind.
They say that Young was not in the house
hat night, and that Stssn fired the shot.
Bennett was taken to his brothers house
the next day, where he now lies. The doc
tors say that he cannot possibly recover,
and it is thought that he will die before
morning. When asked how he is getting
along he answers, "Oh I'm gone up"
Young was arrested and placed under
81, 900 bail, awaiting his preliminary ex-
animation, which comes OFF to-dly, Steen
was lodged in Jail. Sunday afternoon
Young requested 10 see Bennett, in order
to ask him if he thought he Young was
the man who shot him, but the doctor re-
fused 10 allow him TO do so. Young has q
brother in Havana who is a respectable
mana carpenter. Young himself has
been engaged driving team for Low 4 Fos-
ter, lumber dealers. Bennett has q broth
en-, Il timer, also respectable mar Ben
nett is also u timer, and has been working
for his brother for the last two years, and
was well thought OF. The Steens were bad
characters. Young's family deny that he
was AT the house that day,

How JArAEtsE TRAfa CUcUMBfRs. The
Hammer Of ~Bdltivating the cucumber was TO
tie somewhat novel, and it appeared to
me in soihe respects superior TO our mode.
Instead of sowing the seed in hills, 1t is
in double rows, as peas are frequenly
done, only at a greater Fdistance apart,
both between the row and the plants, say
three feet between the first. The vines
nre supported by placing rushwood along
each row, forming an arch over which they
may grow. The advantages this method
presents are, that the fruit is always clean
and straight, of a uniform color on al
sides, and can be gathered without incur
ring danger of injury TO the vines by tramp
ing on them.-Hogg's Gardening in japan.
PIcKLED TOMATOES Always use those
which are thoroughly ripe. The small
round ones are decidedly the best. Do
not prick them as most receipt books di-
rect. Letthem be in strong brine three or
four days, then put them down in layers
in your jars, mixing them with small on
ions N pieces of horse radish; then pour
on the vinegar cold, which should be first
spiced; as for peppers let there be a spice
bag to throw into every pot. Cover them
carefully, and set them inthe cellar for a
full month before using. Gfean tomatoes
cpn be picked in many of the ways that
are used for green cucumbers, but IL is
usually best TO add n large amount of
pepper and spices to give them favor.
PoTATo SPROUTS "A writer in the Coun-
try Gentleman states, Ms the result of his
experience, that superior potatoes, free
from rot or curl on the leaf, may be grown
by %sprouting the potatoes in a heap, and
then removing and planting the sprouts
and the fbrous roots adhering to them.
He thinks the potato stalk is too succulent
when it is fed from tina whole tuber.
FLAX SEED occasionally given to animals
will make them shed their old hair, pro-
mote the acquisition of flesh, and give a
sleek, glossy appearance. A much cheaper
article, ard nearly az efficient for the pur.
pose, is oil cake from which the greater
part Of the oil has been expressed. IL ia
also a drug in the market, and it is well
worth the attention Of farmers. ri
KILLING PLANTAIN. A lady in North
Carolina says plantain may be eradicated
by cutting off the weed as neal the roots
as possible, and scattering unleached ashes
over them. BY this treatment the PLAN
tain is killed but the grass is saved.
