Royal ITALIAN CIRcUs.-Chiarini's

AuultuSC i"Sb S'ShAb N
the pleasure to be personally present,
therefore after due and critical inspec-
ton give it the great seal of our un-
qualified approval. In consists Of a
combination OF extraordinary talent in
both mankind and animal, very rarely
seen gathered into one institution OF the
sort. The grand entree WAS II truly
brilliant equestrian performance. The
magnificent Arabian stecd Of Signor
Chiarini, which does the leading ring
business, will Mt u glance recommend
himself to all true fauciers Of that noble
animal, the horse, and the pretty little
Audalusian pony "Turco," exhibiting
n degree Of intelligence almost human,
speedily becomes u favorite with the
audience. The little Shetland pony
"Mosca," although extremely diminu-
tive, also proves himself all horse, and
no "sardine." The equestrian act Of
the short-limbed, ~long-bodied Mexican
dwarf, Torres, is, TO say the least, e1-
tremely peculiar, and as amusing as it
would be TO see u huge toad DONG the
same thing on horseback. j. Cooke,
the clown, is certainly II very clever
fellow in his line. Astounding IN that
species OF humor and wit without vul-
gnri,y, which does not fail to please and
never ~disgusts or otfends. The bottle
equilibrium, riding, aud other feats OF
Ross and Carlo, last evening, were Of
course excellent; their reputation is a
well established one. The same may be
said of Painter and Durand, in their
acrobetic and other exercises. The
, single equestrian act Of Madame Hollo-
way was beautifully performed, and the
riding of the young Ethiop, Cuba, very
rarely excelled and not often equaled.
The iiercely reckless riding Of that wild,
crazy Apache Indian, beats anything OF
the kind that we ever saw and the other
performances given were all Of a highly
meritorious nature. The interior ac-
~commodations for the comfort and con-
v%enience Of the audience are excellent,
aud the best Of order is preserved.
Entire change of programme through
out, tonight. Only three nights more.
Matinee Saturday afternoon.
4 SNAIL ~IMsEDDED IN QUARrz.-Ws
were yesterday shown n decided Curl
osity in the meteorological or geological
way, being nothing less than n snail
petri6ed and firmly Embedded in u piece
of quartz. 1t was found thirty feet be-
low the surface of the ground, in the
. Varieties Claim, Rocky Bar, iuba Dis
trict, Idaho. The back OF the snail
only is visible, projecting out Of the
rock, but it is so perfect in appearance
that no one can fail to detect at first
sight that il is Enthusiastically n snail.
How this unfortunate snail came in that
adamantine position is a matter OF spec
ulation for the curious, rs well as for
the scientific SdcdHs who say all quartz
veins are formed through the medium
ship of gases and other similar intiu-
ences proceeding from the interior OF
the great globe. This truly peculiar,
interesting and valuable cabinet speci-
men, belongs to II lady in Gold Hill.
The ORPHANS FAR.-This pleasing
institution, now progressing at Armory
Hall, Virginia, is well attended nightly,
and a brisk traffic driven in rattle

eral enjoyments peculiar to such Fairs.
After ten o'clock each evening they
have dancing, the requisite music being
furnished by the excellent band in at
tendance. The Fair closes this week,
therefore all should avail themselves of
the opportunity for enjoyment while
they can, and add their contribution,
let it be small or large amount, to the
success OF the worthy cause for which
this Fair is inaugurated.

genuine ~planchette, made after the
original Boston pattern, can be seen
and procured at Burrall's Pioneer Book
store, corner of G and Union streets,
VIRGINIA, "Planchette" is among the
most mysterious novelties Of the present
day, rs connected with magnetism, cleo
t%ricity, or whatever the queer influence
controlling its intelligence may be, and
it is q prolific subject for the study Of
the curious and scientific throughout
the country.
SILVER CRY To-SlGHT.-Let there be

verted At such meetings, yet they are
interesting and attractive.

left knee was so badly shattered by n
pistol ball last Fourth Of July, at Viz
cinia, that the whole limb vas subse-
%Guently nmputated. and he WAS sent TO
