Terrible Scene in a Circus.

The vicinity Of Kingston, on the Hud-
son river, was lately visited by one OF
the most terrific thunderstorms on record.
At the time G.. +. Bailey's & Co.'s circus
was performing to a crowded audience.
Outside were large number of people
listening to the music. One squad of
colored people were stationed under a
tree near the tent, as the rain commenced
to descend They were making quite
merry, one especially, who was sitting in
his wagon, the horse being tied to the
tree. He shouted to passers-by, Save
yer money, III glib yer ashow afore morn
in" Suddenly, one binding sheet of
fame lit up the entire scene, followed by
a shrek of mortal terror, The scene
which then occurred inside the circus
tent, battles description Pallid faces
were everywhere, and a fearful panic was
imminent, but the great presence of mind
of Mr.. Bailey, the proprietor of the cir
Gus, saved hundreds of lives. He shouted
with all his might and main to the audi
ence, Keep your seats and called loud
ly on the band to play, while at the same
time he urged the performing horses about
the ring through the lakes of water,
hoping thereby to attract the attention of
the audience so as to save rush and a
consequent trampling to DEATH and well
he succeeded. While all this was going
on inside, the fatal shaft had done its
work outside. The bolt appeared to
come from the west or southwest, cutting
a hole about II feet through the top of
the main canvas, thence across an open
space to the willow tree spoken Of above,
forty yards distant, shattering the tree,
killing the horse which was tied to it,
and knocking senseless the driver, tear
ing the soles from his boots, and singing
his clothing. From thence it descended
to the group Of coored persons near the
tree. Five were instantly killed-struck
down with smiles and jokes upon their
lips. All were talking together. Jane
Montayne was leaning against the tree,
with her arms folded, listening to the
others. She fell with her arms folded,
and they could hardly be pried apart.
Elizabeth Newkirk was laughing and
there was a smile upon her lips when she
was picked up. Arthur Scot had one
arm partially raised, and after death it
was hard work to straighten it. Hun
dreds in the tent were more or less in
jured, many Of them being paralyzed, and
remaining so for several hours. The ami
mails were terribly frightened, and made
desperate efforts to get out Of their cages

his death is mystery.
