nelson's CikcUs erected their very hand
some tent yesterday on the lot owned by DIR.
Munckton, located east of the Plaza, and
their splendid entertainments when the rain,
which set in just before dark, necessitated a
postponement Of the performance until thi,
evening. We bespeak for them less incle-

that to the cas-. of town has ever been. We
hear some talk about extending the railroad,
BY a winding, circuitous route, to Lake Ia
