 The agent of this Company is not in love with Connecticut. He says the piety prevalent in the State does not hinder peo- pie from coming to-his Circus, but fills them with conscientious doubts, which it is expensive allayihg. Hesays he applied, not long since, to some maiden ladies for permission to put up his bills on their barns. They refused absolutely; their mother was in-very poor health and would certainly die, if any barn on her premises 1 was put to so immoral use. On men tion of $10 for the privilege, however, they ventured to speak togthe old lady, and his circus bills soon adorned those barns. He paid $10O at another time to put up his bills around a small church. He says it cost the :" showmen" $5. 900 to get a bill allowing their exhibitions. through the Legislature. and he seems somehow to have imbibed the impression that that legisla- ture fairly represented tue morality of the State.
