This lodge organized last March with

an increase of 100 per cent. in four
months, showing that the people in the
mountainous and somewhat obscure, yet
ever lively and pleasant town of Shrews-
bury, are jealous in the cause of temper
ance as in all things that tend to the pro-
motion of good. This, like all other similar
institutions has had some contentious that
have been attended with any degree of
pleasure to its members, yet it has sailed
quietly and sterdily on in the strong yet
humble bark of F. Fl. & G. through all
the opposing elements, and is now in a
state of prosperity that more than meets
the anticipations of the most sanguine.

J. M. French,s Circus and Egyptian
Caravan

We are to have q Circus and Caravan.
French's Circus and Caravan, one Of the
finest Exhibitions in the world, is to visit
Rutland, giving two exhibitions, one in
the afternoon, and one in the evening, on
Friday, August 18th. This exhibition
includes number Of remarkable animals,
Lions, Camels, Elephants, etc., of which
fuller description is given in the adver-
tisement It is something well worth
seeing, and we have no doubt the tent
will be well filled, both afternoon and
evening. A magnificent street display
will be given in the morning at 10 o'clock.
We clip the following from the Springfield
Republican, of May 10th:
TRENCH's ORIENTAL CARAVAN
Comprises very much that is found in no
other circus establishment in the States.
It presents such variety of attractions as
to amuse all classes-and to instruct
while it amuses. The student of natural
history becomes absorbed in contemplate
ing the European and Asiatic representa-
tives of the Animal Kingdom. The
gigantic elephant Empress" and in COM
parison, the Lilliputian elephant "Sultan,"
the collection of fierce Kaffra lions. whose
den Herr Schof fearlessly enters and
makes one of the most exciting and dar-
ing exhibitions of the power of the human
mind over the brute creation that we ever
witnessed (; then follow the drove of six
teen Camels, driven by genuine Bedouin
Arabs-children of Ishmael, whose pecu-
liarities of race are marked and well worth
the study of every one. There are various
other features of the animal show of
French's oriental exhibition that limited
space will not permit US to mention, but
which cannot fail to claim the attention
of every visitor within the capacious and
we'll arranged canvass of this superb estab-
lishment. But the circus performances
proper are also not to be forgotten for
they embrace some rare feats in eques-
trianism, in acrobats, leaping, somersault-
ing, balancing and feats of strength, while
here again, the Bedouins enrich the pro-
gramme with an oriental originality that
seems to awaken the interest of even 4ha
most blase habitue of circus exhibitions.
Their displays of strength are wonderful
and always extort the plaudits of the most
cultivated audiences, while the contrast
between these sons of the desert and the
more accomplished American or European
gymnast is so distinct as to excite COM
ment and elicit decided attention We
confess that we seldom expect to be much
entertained at any circus, but French's
claimed our close attention from the be-
ginning to end.

I have rendered to the belligerent
powers treaties identical in form, which
will give additional security to Belgium
against the hazards of war on her frontier.
The treaty has been signed by Count
Bernstrof for the North German con-
federacy, and the French Envoy has
signifed that he has authority to sign the
corresponding instrument. Parties to
the treaty OF 1889 have been invited, and
they are likely to accede to the engage
ment.
The shocking murders in Greece have
produced painful impression in Europe,
and have drawn attention to the serious
evils existing in that country. My un-
renting efforts will be directed 70 secure
complete and searching enquiry into
the facts.

MONEY LEFT ON THE CARs,-Mr. J.
B. Darlington, Editor of the New Haven
Comm Courier, on taking his seat in the
oars on the Rutland Railroad at Bellows
Falls, on Saturday, placed in the rack
over his seat, his coat, in the pocket OF
which was wallet containing some five
hundred dollars in money besides some
private papers. At Rutland he took the
oars over the Harlem Extension Railroad,
and when at Wallingford he first missed
his coat and discovered his loss, and
found that he was the possessor of only
eighty-six cents. Fortunately at Wal
lingford, although stranger, he was able
to borrow a hundred dollars, and returned
to this place. Upon his arrival here he
was unable to tell in what particular car
he was in, and as the cars attached to
the train from Bellows Falls had gone
in different directions he teiegraphed to
the different conductors of both trains,
but he has, as yet, been unable to hear of
his coat or money. A reward of fifttv
dollars land no questions asked" is offered
for the return of the eoSt and contents.
