The peregrinations OF showmen are
beset with numerous difficulties while
pursuing their daily avocatlons in this
our Southern country, which, with the
usual Winter rains, heavy loads, and
fording of streams, makes it very diili-
cult for the managers to make good
the promises Of the agents. Such was
the case with John Robinson's Circus
and Menagerie few days since. While
performing in Tallahassee, Fla, it was
mentioned to Mr.. j. +. Robinson, Jr.,
that he might expect some difficulty in
passing through long and dismal
swamp between that place and Quincy,
ON account of the large numbers OF al
ligators which infested the ford at this
particular locality, and who at this sea-
son Of the year are very ferocious, and
on the watch for any unfortunate mule
or horse that may become entangled in
the numerous roots, quicksands, and
holes, which abound at the ford; but
he replied as the agent had already
made the arrangements for him to go
through, and it was not his nature TO
turn back, he had nothing left bat to
follow, trusting to his previous good
fortune in getting thus far. The result
of his decision, although anticipating
some difficulty, was far more serious
than he anticipated
