Van tmburph s Co.. Nenagerie.-

Van Amburgh 4 Cos Henagerie.-
This colossal establishment which
| Is to exhibit in Tihin On Wednesday
next, is one which is entitled TO n
much higher position in popular esti-
lmation than the general run Of shows
which are to plentiful all over the
country. II Is not a circus nor a
combination Of "circus and menager-
ie'' so called; but a grandand eOmpre-
heasive exposition Of the living won
ders Of nature from all parts Of the
world, brought together by individu-
al enterprise and exhibited with ev-
cry accessory which can enhance
the satisfaction to be derived from a
visit TO the institution. 1t is a mu-
scum Of natural history, in which the
specimens are all animate, and offers
even greater attractions to the
/ thoughtful and reflective than to the
mere seeker after amusements.
Van Amburgh & Cos menagerie is
well known to the American public,
having been in existence for nearly
fifty years, and has always enjoyed
high degree Of popularity. But this
season the eenterprising prOprietOrs aP-
pear to have surpassed the most sue
eessful Of their former efforts, and to
have succeeded I'm bringing together
a geological collection which for nov
city, magnitude, interest, and variety
eeiipses everything Of the kind hith-
ertO seen on this continent. The
managers make glowing promises in
| their bills and advertisements; but it
is the universal testimony Of the
press, in all sections Of the country
that their promises are fulfilled to the
/ letter, and that the exhibition in all
respects fully realizes the expectations
created by these announcements.
The collection Of beasts and birds is
undoubtedly the largest ever seen in
America, and it comprises many rare
species never before exhibited, and
which the reading public are familiar
with through descriptions of adven-
turOus travellers in various countries.
Conspicuous among these is the great
African Gland so often mentioned by
DIR. Livingston and other African eX-
plOrers, a majestic species Of antelope
weighing nearly ton.
There are no circus performances
given in connection with this menag-
erie, it being the special aim Of the
prOprietOrs to avoid the introduction
Of anything which can offend the
principles, or even prejudiees of any
portion Of the community. But
rational and most interesting enter
tainment, is presented at each exhi-
bitiOn introducing trained animals of
many different species in perfOrman
ces Of the most wonderful character.
And there will be a lecture on natural
history, in which the prominent
traits and habits OF all the animals
on view will be briefly summed up in
q lucid and popular style, affording
much interesting Information that
will be new to the general public.
On Wednesday morning the entire
mammoth establishment will make its
public entree into the city in grand
procession, with gorgeous cars and
chariots, elabOrately decorated cages
and vans, &c. &c. &c. forming page
ant which is described by the Wash
ingtOn papers as ga great show of it.
self" As this is an entirely gratui-
tOus display the public will require no
urging to induce them to witness it.

Attempt at Horse SteaIIng.-Mon-
day nightIlast, man in the employ Of
Mr.. Isaac Pennington returned
home somewhat late, and went
to the barn to put up his team.
When he was throwing down some
hay, he found a man secreted in the
NOW. In answer to the question
what he was doing there, the fellow
said lie came to town during the day,
got drunk and lost all his money, and
had no place TO stay. The man told
him he must go out, and the fellow got
up and staggered toward the door, but
as soon as he was out Of the barn he
became suddenly sober and took to |
his heels. Thereupon, the other
began to mistrust that the drunken
man was there foEnO good purpose.
He called help, but was unable to find |
the rascal. On returning to the barn,
he found that the scOundrel had horse |
under saddle, ready to leave the barn,
which his arrival prevented. The
man has not been seen since, and has
probably gone elsewhere to "bOrrOw"
a horse.
