We beg pardon for making such mistake
appearances sometimes deceive us!"
The ClRcUs.-Bryan's great caravan, circus
and menagerie exhibited in our city last Friday
The canvas and the crowd was the largest that
has ever been in Staunton, and everything passed
off to the satisfaction of the people. We want
about three more to close the season. Lexington,
Harrisonburg and Charlottesville need one
We notice in the Scottsville Register, that five
prisoners broke and escaped from the Albermarlt
Jail on the night of the 9th inst Among the
number was penitentiary convict named James
Peyton, alias Ogden Branch, who escaped from
Mr.. ]. H. Shultz, contractor on the Covington
and Healing Springs turnpike, some time during
the summer.
MANY SUFFER rather than take nausea medi
cines. All who suffer from coughs, colds, irrita-
ton of the bronchial tubes or tendency to con-
sumption, will find in DR.. Wsstars Balsans of Wi1d
Cherry a remedy as agreeable to the palate at
effectual in removing disease. The Balsam is q
pleasant remedy; it is safe remedy; it is q
powerful remedy; it is speedy remedy; it is q
remedy that cures 'sl.5
GREAT FIRE IN LExINaroN.-Last Friday nigh
the new ten pin alley, near the Stonewall Hotel
was burnt. Considerable excitement was the
consequence, and various were the shakes Of the
head as to the cause. The exertions of the citi-
zens saved other buildings and many boots were
muddied. The energetic Fire Company succeed
ed in opening the engine house the next morning.
The hub is siserene"
CRUEL-A young lady remarked in our hear
ing, not long since, that "the day was fine for
the race As natural consequence we thought
it was in reference to great trial of speed.
Our curiosity was exbited, and we very innocent-
ly and courteously asked, "What race?" Imag-
inc our "pheelinks," when we were informed
that it was sthe human race" We are slightly
on the improve, and with care and proper atten-
ton, may possibly survive.
WHAT Work WILL Do.-The Piedmont Life In
surance Company of Virginia, was organized ten
months ago. By the activity of its agents, its
prompt compliance with all its engagements, and
its high standing as Home Company, it now
ranks second to no Company ever organized It
