the Willard brothers, as soon as they obtain
possession Of the property, to tear down the
whole front on Pennsylvania avenue and
erect In lieu thereof magnificent structure,
occupying the whole avenue front from Four.

AMEs' Circus AND MEsA,ydERrn.-As wit


AMEs' CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.-As will
be seen BY reference to our advertising
columns, Col. Ames' Circus and Menageriee
will exhibit in Raleigh on the 10Th OF this
month. We can assure our readers that
this is frst.class show, and will do all that
it advertises. The papers of Georgia and
South Carolina are unanimous in awarding
the highest praise to Col. Ames' Company,
fact which speaks volumes fur its GOOD
quality. The menagerie comprises a lurgc
collection OF rare beasts and birds, together
with the cage of lions. 1t was these lions
that at one time nearly Killed Herr Lengel,
their trainer, at New Orleans, and at another
time attacked Mile Eugene, who also per-
forms them. Notwithstanding these escapes
both of these intrepid performers enter the
den OF the lions ut each performance, and
and at the risk of their lives force them to
90 through their feats. Taken as whole
we are convinced that Col. Ames' circus and
menaselic is surpassed by none in the
country. sttra- ...tI. lffu
