TIE Snow AND Why 1T DID NOT Show,

AND HOW 1T AFTERWARDS DID Show
The most Of our town readers and some III
the country, aro aware Of tho reasons why
Prof Reynolds did not spread his canyass In
the incorporate limits Of this town. Some
arc moi, however. by resolution of council 1t
was determined TO put q tax Of 500 OIL shows,
coming under the category Of circussos. This
show was the first that happened to meet
this enactment, It felt il heavily, and 1t was
unfortunate that Il fell OH concern SO little
able to meet it, but so It was; and rs wcro
the laws Of tho Nlcdcs and Pcrsians, 50 wus
this resolution Of the Hon. Intcndant and
Wardcns-lhcy could not 90 back. Aud
they were right. We arc glad that the license
for cii cusscS has been put to this amount,
and IT 1t have tho effect Of turning aside from
US only one half Of these demoralfzing and
filthy institutions, of which tho country Is
flooded. great good will be done. This is
our opinion in regard to the course Of the
council. at tho snpc time, however, our
symputhics wcro somewhat excited at the
pitiublc plight of Reynolds whole concern,
from boss down to the poorest Of The starved
animals. They needed to exhibit, thoy were
mlscrably poor, and wc confess a regret tl,a,
this, Instead of a richer, bigger, sauclcr "saw
dust" establishment was mado to suffer
Such Is life, "whom tho gods love die young
aud this Show had not yot grown to full
blown dimensions. Now that tho leo is bro.
ken, the initiative taken, VIC bopo that the
honorable board will maintain thcir intcgr
ty.
Tho professor did exhibit. however, Mt the
hamlet Of Helena ut night, to a pretty fai,
audience, and we arc told by those who
went and would have gono had the distance
been ten times what It was, that tho exhibi
ton WAS better than might have been OK
pcctcd, and quito diversified, but that tht
elephant looked starved and hungry, ant
that some of Its admirers blamed Paysinge,
and his four WNrdcus for it, because had they
allowed tho afternoon exhibition In town
Mr.. Elephant would have had his dinner
There wcro those again who Said that tht
county commissioner was really tho blame,
ahlc H'rt:r that his subs. .S.cnt arrest Of Rey
noltls for attempting to show Without count,
license, when that license was already tn hi.
brccchcs pocket was breach of good man
ncrs, lack Of sense and positive wicked
ness, and resulted in great Inconvenience tt
both men and animals and even deprived then
OF an opportunity to get supper. TO uso
'!l0mcly comparison the commissioner "crow
dcd the monkey" in foolish and uncharita
Lie manner, and II was relief to our pcn
up and agonizrd feelings to realize at tn,
last that the Professor had taken the precau
lion to secure county license. and ia spit,
Of Tic county CON-, did show.

The spring campaign has opened. Gardeners

there may be fat cattle upon a Thousand hill tons
and NIL oyer tho vallies Of Ncwbcrry, nnd tho
barns almost bursting with the fruits of Garth?
The editor of tho Union Times snys there isn't
a Sign IN his town. That must be because they
havnt any wonders, or painters. Ir the mGr-
