FOrepaugh's MenagerIe.-FOrepau s
Grand Menagerie and Circus, which is adver-
tised in another column, will make the second
advent to Perrysburg, Wednesday, July 20.
For long time we have watched the career of
this gigantic establishment, and read the con-
ments of the public press and Judging from
what we have read ana seen, IL must be the
grandest Equestrian and ZIuogical Aggrcga-
tion that ever pitched tent on the fertile soil Of
this State. II Therefore affIrds US much pleas
ure to announce the approach Of a first class
exhibition in eur midst. The collection Of ami
mails is large, the specimens are rare, and the
variety infniio, requiring twenty ve elegant '
decorated massive cages and dens, to contain
the animals alone, besides the huge Asiatic cle-
phaGt, "RumCo," weighing over FIVE tons.
"Bdby AuLic," and "Bulvar, Jr.," the petit
CALI elephants, scarce three feet high. and tue
only white, doublc-humped Baclriau Camcl5
DrpRlei iies, etc, now In captivity.
The Terra Haute jaaram says OF this show
This really comes up to the standard nf the
bills as advertised, and, in fact, actually tran
scends our IN It sancuine expccia ion. We
have frequently had dreams Of what q menag,
rie and circus should be, but never before have
our visions been So fully realized. In addition
to tue caravan, which is separate and distinct
from the circus, theuGh but one price is charged
there is and excellent equestrian entertainment
composed Of star Of the trst magnitude, an
on u scale Of grandeur and magnlhccnce, de-
nienstrutag the almost inexhaustisle resources
Of this colossal exhibition.
No show has visited nur city for years that
has drawn together such immense crowds of
people, and all with whom we have converscd
pronounce ~ Paws" unubjcctirnable every
way. and the prevailing opinion is that when he
cumes.to rerre Hante again he will have to in
crease his capacity, which is already large, iu
order to aecOmodate the people.
The bills tell us to see the procession, anl
then III we think the show is not oil that il lis
claimed to be-, not To patrnnize it. We there
fore say, come in early and see the great dis
play in the streets, aud for further particulars
use your own judgement.

The Races Considerable interest was
created, and quite large crowd attracted to the
Fort Meigs course, on Saturday last The gray
mare from Bowling Green seemed 10 have plen-
ty OF hackers, even at odds, some bets being two
to one. while the friends of WILLIE PARKS
"Patti" seemed to be few in number and quite
docile. After considerable skirmshiUg over the
miner races that took place during the afternoon
in which Mayor TYLEn's gray took the purse in
the first two rounds, over two other competitors,
til main race occurred about half past five.
The distance was 50 rods time, remarkably
SHORTCUT sufficiently long to relieve the back
ers of the gray Of all their pocket change, and
produce some long faces.
From sad experience, our contemporary at Bow
ling Green is of the UpuiOn that some went home
wiser if not poorer men, and with firm belief
that the Stockholders hands is not the safest
place TO deposit stamps"

Fruit Box Manufactory.-Me For
BIS & RoBGRrs have just compl etei their build
ings on Third street, adjoining the d. 4 VI. Rail-
road, for the manufacture of material for Fruit
Boxes. The cutting machinery is patented By
5. ROBERTS, OF Cleveland, aud is driven by steam
power. The material used is chiefly cotton w2od
which is one Of the toughest and most elastic to
be obtained in this region Of country. The pro-
cess Of manufacturing is about as fellows: The
log is cut the desired length ranging bstwern
inches and 40 inches, it is then stripped of the
bark and hole bored at the center of its cir
cumferencc for Ia. purpose Of fastening ii tn the
revolving wheel. 1T is then placed in a s,eam-
box until the steam has thoroughly penetrated u,
wien it is fastened to the ma chine and made to
revOlve in front OF the knives which cut it a
thickness of from seventeen part lf an inch
b. 15 of an inch. The process appears pr, cisely
like umr.ll,ng Il bolt Of rbbon, lcLgth of from
30 TO 80 feet per minnie being produced, aC-
carding 70 the degree of thickness. As the M. :
tcIial passes from the cutting machine its ends
are taken hrld of by the boys employed and laid
on long table provided with rollers 1T the end
of which is knife for cutting the material into
the de sired lengths, aud also for making slight
incisiOn in tue wood by which means it i,
adapted for forming the corners of the iru
boxes.
The capacity of the Eill is equal 10 the pro-
ductiOn of material Tor 10000 grape boxes PEI
day containing respectiyel! 3D. and 10 pound;
each.
In the matter Of boxes for Strawberries, rasp
berries, huckleberries, blackberries, &c, the
products per diem will be equal to % coo boxc,
Gf the capacity of one quart. pint half pint, and
the fifth of quart.
| IN urder to save the cost in transportation the
mlierial for tie several sizes and classes at box
cs is accurately prepared so that few nails ON
ly are required 10 put them in form at the point:
where the fruit is grown. The material TIM,
| prepared aud duly assorted il packed in crates
| which are again available tor packing the box
cs when flied with fruit. The advantage oi
! Slipping the material in this manner is appa
! rent in the fact that one crate which conlain:
I only twelve boxes when manufactured, will cnn
/ tain the prepared mdteriui for two hundred an.
| fifty such boxes. The capacity of the crates ara
as follows: No. | crate, Is boxes Of grapes a
lbs. cach so lbs; No. 2 Crate, IL boxes o
| grapes at It's each, 60 lbs. The m iterial for
boxes for strawberries, blackberries, and other
berries is packed in crates of the capacity of ID
quarts and "a quarts. respectively.
by this process Of packing the prepared mate
rial for the different size boxes, a very large
amount Of such material can be shipped 10 great
distances at small cost whilst the boxes them
selves are put together at the required places
with the greatest ease and expedition.
The material will be shipped to Maryland
Missouri, Illinois, Cincinnati, indeed to nearly
all The large fruit growing centers.
