Bryant's Menagerie and Circus,
on First street, was in the full tide
Of successful exhibition, when a
strong gust Of wind struck the
broad show-eanvas, and o made
things crack. This was only an adj
monition of danger, but it terrified
the people, who He'd in wild confu-
sion, the women and children i'm
tensifying the terror of the scene
by their screams Mothers and
fathers seized their little ones, and
frantically, fought their way to the
openings in the canvas. Mary
adults, as well as children, were
pressed down in the panic, and
trampled ia the dirt, and some were
seriously bruised. Fortunately,
most of the spectators had time to
escape just at the moment when the
full force ofthe gale struck the can
vas, and swept it away like paper
balloon, tearing the large centre
pole from its fastenings, and tear
ing up the guys on the outside as if
they were no more than pipe stems.
Some of the athletes were left ex-
posed in tights, spangles, and gaudy
belts. 49,. ~. i-4.s.7. .
One of the ladies attached to the
company is reported to have made
her escape with but little more than
a shawl upon her person. Several
of the cages of wild animals were
overturned, which was quickly dis
covered by the frightened crowd,
increasing their alarm, Many fled
to adjacent houses and closed the
doors behind them to escape fero-
cious beasts, which they imagined
would be upon them suddenly. But
the cages were strong, The ele-
plant occupied his post patiently,
scarcely budging when fragments
of the canvas swept over him. He
merely turned tail upon the storm.
Strange to say, that although. the
canvas was thronged with people
of all ages, but two persons were
seriously hurt--Wm. Harvey Mitch
ell, who was flung across bench
while attempting to support guy,
and little girl, whose name we did
not ascertain, received broken arm
and a severe cut on the head. The
former was injured on the back,
and conveyed to the adjacent
railroad round house, where DIR.
Webster waited upon him. His
injuries are not likely to prove per-
manent. Many others received
bruises On their heads and bodies,
and several persons looked as if
they had been in a sharp skirmish.

Response Of the Tennessee Press-The
Times do not Demand a Third
Party.
From the Columbia Herald. August 20.
The Nashville Banner and the Mems
phis Avalanche are trying to raise Lifts
eral party. These journals with Wing
and Democratic records, respectively,
unite in denouncing the Democratic par
ty with all manner of Opprobrious epi-
thets. They say that that organization
smells of secession, treason, etc, etc.,
etc. Well, then, why have any name at
all? As for US, we would not OBJ
iect to the name of Whig if all
the people 10 the United States OPP
posed to Radicalism, and in favor of
peace and constitutional government,
were marshaled under its banners. But
neither the Wing party nor the Liberal
party, recently called from the vastly
| deep by the Banner, would extend its
name beyond the limits of the State. Afs
ter it left the beach ofState and plunged
into the ocean of national politics, 1t
would be compelled to get on Radical
or n Democratic craft. If the old Line
Wings, as they call themselves, who now
are in the ascendency in the State, do
not like the name of Democrat, let them
call themselves anything, 80 they keep
clear of Radicalism. We are opposed tC
the Radical party, past present and iu'
ture.

BENToNsyILLE TOWNSHIP.
JOHNSTON Co., July 81 1869

oouNo1ON w., July 81, 1908.
EDITOR STANDARD deeply regretting
to Loose so noble tool as Thos. D. Snead,
of this township, and believing that moth
ing more would be required 10 retain his
services, than the mere promise of some fat
office from his Exellency. or his worthy
countyman, W A. Smith, President of the
N q. r. R., to say any position above the
Office OF Magistrate, as that seems to be the
the hight of his ambition. from the fact that
he Is now stumping this Township for said
office, on the 1st Thursday in August. What
is the cause of this great change OF political
opinion ? /. Should it not be remembered
that he was one among the first men of this
county to call out for all loyal men to come
forward and assist him in organizing the
Union League? Be it remembered that
he was the man who organized the Union
League at this place, threatening all men
who did not come into it, with the ven
geance of having their property confscated.
When w. w. Holden was elected Governor
of N. G. and W. A. Smith, President of the
N. G. R. R., and all things were going with a
charm, we found Mr. Thos. D. Snead, one
of the first aspirants for parish under his
Excellency, w. w. Holden, and finding that
WA. Dhitu WAC VIC cltCI lOT lldI pdiiSll,
he next calls ON his friend w. A. Smith for
the very best he could do in the way of fat
officers, saying that his brother W. r. Snead
was also DESTROYS of being raised to the sub
lime degree of a Conductor on the N. G. r.
R., alledging that as he had been chief cook
and bottle acasher in facilitating the cause
of reconstruction, &c, that he was justly en-
titled to some lucrative office at his dispo
sal.
Did i not say in the out set that Thos. D.
Snead was witt, the Secession party now 2
Yes, and so he is, and all this arises from
tile fact that Billy would not give him the
offices as asked. Billy you ought to give
him some little office just to make him think
he was popular man with the big folks.
The course of Mr.. Snead reminds me of the
woman who crossed the Confederate lines
during the war, saying, she would go where
she could get better pay. l think she al
iuded to the currency only, as no doubt the
hnys payed very literally every draw day.
guess Mr.. Sncad thinks draw days come
too seldom with him, in the estimation of
Billy, 10y which we account for his now he
ing found with the Secession party. Tie
woman in all probability received green
backs for the rest Of her services Though
Mr.. Snead who let loose his esquireship for
something better, has subsidized in to ambi-
ton for the Office of Magistrate on the Sc
cesh ticket, on the first Thursday in August
next at which time certain deieat awaits
his destiny, like Lucifer, who fell to rise
no more. 4

Fifteen Cent Notes.

1t is not generally known that the Gov
eminent authorized the issue of fifteen cent
notes in the act providing for the disburse-
ment of fractional currency. In the first
series number of notes of this dcnomina-
ton were issued, but for some reason they
soon became extinct; The new series re-
wives this denomination, and few have
been issued by United States Treasurer Spin
ner. They are little longer than the ten
cent notes. On the left hand is "a fine Wig
nette of the Goddess of Liberty, something
like the head of the bronze figure surmonnt-
ing the Capitol dome. This is encircled by
a wreath, the vignette resting upon the
symbolic fasces In the right hand upper
corner are the figures "15," legibly printed.
The face bears the words: Fractional cur
rency, United States fifteen cents; furnish
ed only the Assistant Treasurers and desig-
mated repositories of the United States"
In the lower margin are the words, Ma
tional Bank Note Company, New York"
The back is green, and has the figures 10"
while the usual rates of exchange are printed
in two segments. the whole back being en-
graved in the finest lathe work.

A preliminary examination into the kill
ing OF miiitlaman Putney and the wonnd-
ing of Moss, was had before Mayor Harri-
son Friday. A large number Of mem
bers of the company was examined, and
much of the testimony was very irrelevant
jeff Bastion swore to seeing Sergeant W.
S. Walker bayonet Putney as Putney was
Selling musllet after threatening to kill
the guard. Michael Connolly testified to
having seen Sergeant VIM. Bell bayonet
Moss; and Hill swore that Connolly ran
when the struggle commenced, and could
not sec the scufle, because his back was
turned. No evidence was adduced against
Hood, who is confined at Goldsboro'. Wal
ker Was committed to Jail without bail 5;
and Bell was committed in default of S5,-
600 l'ail to await the result of the wounds
Of Moss. Putney was buried yesterday.
Moss is quite weak from the loss of blood,
and is not OUT Of danger.
