The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation in Warren, Pa, has nothing to
do. They resolved to visit the pris-
oners in the Jail; but when they ap-
piled for admittance on their merci-
full errand, they found the Jail was
empty. They then resolved to re-
lieve the distressed; but when they
advertised for applicants for their
charity, none responded. The town
has a population of $500, and seven
churches. Grog shops are unknown,
and all the inhabitants are either
Christians or church-going people.

Grand Circus and Caravan.

j. NJ. Frenchs Circus and Egypt
ian Caravan, which is without doubt
one of the finest exhibitions in the
world, will visit Barton, giving two
exhibitions, one in the afternoon and
one in the evening, on Monday, Aug
ust 1st. This Exhibition contains a
number of remarkable animals, Lions,
Camcls, Elephants, etc., of which a
fuller description is given in the ad-
vertisement. 1t is something well
worth seeing, and we have no doubt
the tent will be we'll filled both after
noon and evening. A fine street dis.
play will take place in the morning at
ten o'clock. We copy the following
from the Springfield Republican:
ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
1t is impossible to compute the ex-
pense, and time, ana talent employed
to crafty and meet that taste of the
human mind for enjoyment and amuse-
ment which is more or less expressed
in the civilized and savage races
The denizenS of the African iungleS
as well as the most cultivated circles
of Parisians have their sources of
amusement-andt the culture and civ
ilization of the latter are as much de-
termined by those they seek as is the
barbarism of the former by their rude
and to US, outrageous means of en-
joyment. In Pagan Rome the amphi-
theatre was overlooked by the high
est in authority. the wealthiest, and
by the Cleopatras of that imperial city
to watch the agonizing struggles
and death thrOes Of the poor captive
who vainly contested for the boon of
life with some savage denizen of the
Jungle or the desert. But in this
nineteenth century our enjoyments arc
not in witnessing human torture, but
rather in the cultivation of the pow
ers Of the physical man; his accom-
plishment in feat8 Of strength and agil-
ity; his skill in bringing the brute
creation, whether represented by the
horse, the elephant or the fercest of
iions-the king Of beasts-under the
perfect control of the human mind
These thoughts run thro' our mind as
we contemplate the wonderful and IN
tereSting exhibition given by French
Oriental Circus and Egyptian Cara
van. To organize that vast and va
ried combination of amusement5, it
would seem as if nearly every quar-.
ter Of the globe had been compelled
to contribute its rarest representa-
tives. The Camel5 and their Arat
attendants from the scorching sands
of Sahara; the monster elephant from
Asia, and the Lilliput from Africa
the magnificent lions from the cape O
Good Hope; the Papois from Egyp
and the patriarchal Apes from Abys
sinia; are but some Of the feature:
in this circus exhibition, and which
are found in no other in the Union
1t is no wonder that crowds throng
ed the vast tent in the recent visit t.
this city OF this varied entertainment
and we know that the audience were
highly pleased and instructed witt
what they saw. We hope to wei
come French's Oriental Caravan t.
our city again ere long.

THE BOOMERANG

1t is wonderful that this weapon should
be found amongst such degraded savages.
1t is said that diagram Fit has been dis
covered in a chamber of one of the pyra-
mids. But its use amongst any other peo-
pie is unknown. Like the Irishman's gun
that could shoot round corners" it is Gu
rious and convenient, as it can be thrown
around house and comes back to the
hand that can use it. 1t is a thin curved
piece of hard wood, from two to three feet
in length, and two inches wide. One side
is slightly rounded, the other is perfectly
fat. When thrown it must be held by
that end which brings the flat side on the
right hand or outside.
In camp of blacks, few tempted bv
the offer of tobacco or -four, are ready to
show their skill, pitted against each other
in friendly strife. A black fellow can
throw this weapon so as to cause it to des-
cribe complete circle in the air. He will
stand in front of tolerably large house
on the grass plot before the door, and send
this boomerang completely round the build
ing, so that it returns and falls at his feet.
The whole circumference OF the circle thus
described, is frequently not less than two
hundred and fifty yards and upwards. The
wonder however. is in its encircling prop
critics, and not in the distance to which il
may be sent. When forcibly thrown its
course is rapid as an arrow the first fifty
yards, till it arrives at the point where il
begins to alter its course; thence it con-
tinues its career at half speed, and so grad.
ually diminishes till it returns to the spot
whence it started. Adeep, hurtling sound
accompanies its course during the whole
of which, it revolves SO as to appear like a
wheel in the air. The prettiest evolution
it can be made to perform is the following
1t is thrown with tendency downwards
when, after having lonesome twenty yards
one point of it tips the ground three times
successfully, at intervals of about the samt
distance, rebounds with sound like tn,
twang of harp string, meanwhile it con
tinues its circular course, until as before
it returns to the thrower. This feat is very
difficult to accomplish.

A COROBBORY.

This is their principal festival, at which
they indulge in dancing OF this amuse-
ment they are immoderately fond. No
grand fandangs" of the Washoe Indians
at all compare with it. The medicine men
or cudjies, deliver them certain charms,
which are supposed to possess the highest
virtue. They prepare themselves elabor-
ately for the occasion. The men paint
themselves according to their fancy with
white and red earth. They have bones
and bits of stones and emus' feathers tied
on their hair, and branches of trees tied on
their ankles, which make rushing noise
when they dance. Their gestures and at
titudes in dancing are as wild as their APP
pearance. A fugleman stands before the
dancers repeating some words very fast in
a kind Of time, while he beats together two
sticks. The women never dance. They
ana the children sit around several large
fires, which they keep burning bright
Some Of them beat sticks, and declaim in
concert with the old fugleman.
One of the aboriginal dances is called
the kangaroo dance. Natives wearing a
long tail, drops down on his hands and
feet pretending to Craze, starting to look
about and mimicking the demeanor ofthe
animal, as nearly as possible. The others
in the characters of dogs and hunters, per-
form their part of the play in a circle round
him at a very short distance.

We learn that Col. Albert Clark,
for the past three years editor OF the

will consolidate the two about the

Consolidation is the true solution of
the woes that afllict the Vermont
press. What is the use of two papers
of the same political faith in any vii
lage in Vermont? Better have one
grand, well edited, and literally sup
ported paper in a town or county, than
two that live at poor dying rate.

LARGEST CATTLE IN THE WORLD.

A Poughkecpsc, N. Y, letter of the 18th ult.,
says: - The curiosity of the city has been greatly
excited to-day upon bovine matters. Mr.. Geo
Ayrault is well-to-do Duchess county farmer,
man who takes great pride in raising sleek, fat ca t.
tie. In this branch of farmers business he has
met with the greatest success, great, in fact,
to be able to-day to state with truthuness that he
has raised the four attest steers in the world. The
lightest Of them weighs three thousand three hun
dred pounds, and the heaviest over four thousand
pounds. The latter is named George Peabody
Recently Mr. Ayraut sold these cattle to Mr.. Lalor,
of Fulton market New York, for $500 each, or
$4,000 for all.
They are purely American, having been calved
on Mr.. Ayrault's farm, and they are indeed wonder
fu to look upon. They We're brought here from
Mr.. Ayraults on huge barn-like sleds, being drawn
into town one by one, the first two by six horses,
and the last two by twelve oxen each. As they
passed through the city to the stables of the North
ern Hotel, vast crowds followed them, and the
windows in the streets through which they moved
were filled with men and women peering down
upon the monstrous masses of flesh. They are to
remain here till Friday, when they are to be shipped
to New ork and there butchered, after which
their hides will be stuffed and placed in Central
Park.
During the past year, these animals have gained
40 pounds, 800 pounds each Their feed has
been mostly meal and beets. beautiful chrome
lithograph of them has already been issued, and it
is soon to be followed by chart from Mr.. Ayrault
giving particulars relative to their bringing up
The heaviest pair weighs 800 pounds heavier than
than any on record in this country or Europe.
