The Circus AT FRONT RoYAL-Thc circus
was exhibited in our town on the 9th and 25th.
We were not little surprised to find the peo-
pie Of the community flock in such masses to
see one of the great humbues Of the day. The
tents were opened as often as the third time,
and notwithstanding the poverty Of the South
ern people, and their frequent attendance as
eye witnesses of such exhibitions, they fockcd
on each successive day to spend their last penny.
We are sure we are not exaggerating when we
say that 500 persons Of families spent their last
fifty cents, and went home dimelesS
We will take the liberty to add here that
many Of the circuses of the present day are not
proper places for ladies to visit; and we are
happy to remark that many examples are yet
to be found who discourage all such extremes
by staying at home and that young lady or
young man should congratulate herself and
himself who We're iound absent from the great
circus. ''Straws show which way the wind

to reconstruct, not to pull down; to reafirm
the doctrine of State rights wherever those
