On Wednesday little boy, son of John Pur.

1t is said the young fellows who are on the
jury on the Howell case are about to lose their
"gir-rels." The young ladies being used to regu.
lar visits, at least often as once week, and
not having seen their beaux for over fourteen
days, have gone mad and gone back on EN-
and got others in their stead. One young jury
man sits up all night, in the jury sleeping room
in the Clifton, with his nose flattened against
window pane, vainly trying to see his girl pass
along the opposite sidewalk. He has sighed
himself nearly all away; he is now merely frag-
ment of a ''shadder." Another of those jurymea
came into town on busines, ON the first day Of
the trial, and was to have gone home early that
evening. He was "gobbled up by the sheriff,

the fish were dry :. Met an educated young

New YoFl6 Circus.

This famous troupe, the largest and most per-
fectly organized in the world, is to perform in
Ottawa on Tuesday next, July l9-performing
afternoon and evening. Speaking of Gov. Lent's
establishment, the Chicago Republican gives the
following description of the great show:
The popularity of the n. Y Circus is we'll de-
served. It is undoubtedly the best appointed
exhibition of the kind in America, and that is
equivalent to saying it is the best in the world ;
and it il furthermore conducted by Mr.. Lent
on honest principles. The troupe Of equestrians
and gymnasts is very large and it includes many
celebrated performers, some OF whom certainly
have no equals in the profession; Melville, the
world renowned bareback rider; Mile Caroline
ROLAND, most daring and accomplished eques-
trienne, and Robert Stickney, whose graceful
and skillful feats of horsemanship have given
him a celebrity in all parts of Europe, as well
as in America, are all members OF the company.
A complete list, even of those who are well
known to the public, would occupy large space.
The clowns are Joe Pentland, H. B. Williams,
and VIM. Conrad, and it Is a notable feature in
their part of the performances that discrim;n-
alton is made between fun and vulgarity. None
of the latter is ever heard at the exhibitions of
he New York Circus. In short, the entertain
ment is marked by good taste as we'll as profess
sional merit and skill. The establishment has a
high reputation in New York, where it is a
prominent feature in the regular list of iall and
winter amusement., and its fame is becoming
wide spread in all other parts Of the country.
The brilliant musical pagent which heralded the
appearance of the circus on Monday, was again
enjoyed by our citizens yesterday morning, and
streets through which it passed were thronged
to see the golded chariot and its magnificent
twenty.four horse team, and listen to the Emu.
sicsl brigade" The musicians make u splendid
appearance in their rich scarlet and blue uni
forms, and their performances are far superior
to what We are accustomed to hear from ordi-
nary circus bands.
