THE FIRST AND THE RFsT.-Wc announced
last week that RosstOn. Springer Hender
sons circus and meuagerIe would exhibit IN
this place on Wednesday last, and we now an
nounce that it has been here and has indeed
earned the title of superiority. We are free
to sav that We were more than pleased with
the entertainment throughout, an we have
vet 20 meet toe first person who attended
either the afternoon or evening exhibition who
did not exrress themselves in the highest de-
gree gratifei withsthe perioraeuces- There
was nothing attempted TO be done that was not
done in the most artistic and perfect manner,
aud many of the feats were not only entirely
new but were of the most wCndediu and
startling character. The performances of the
Bedouin Arabs are excellent beyond descrip-
ton, while the trapeEe acts the lrggIery trick.
equestrian exercises, cannon ball ieats and
other performances of the several other mem
bers of the troupe cannot be excelled, 1t ap-
preached, bv any arenic artists in the country
The hat tricks of the clowns, something en-
tirelY new, are the most amusing and redIc-
/ uous "tom fooleTes' VIC have ever witnessed
and cannot fail to produce the greatest merrl-
ment. But cannot speak of the periorman-
ces in full detail, but solicit for the grand COM
bnation n liberal patronage wherever 1t may
exhibit, for it is not only first class but en-
tirely unohjeetionable in all its features.

The area of highest barometer has moved
eastward, and is now central over West
Virginia. The barometer has risen in the
Atlantic States, but has continued to fail
west of the Mississippi and Lake Michigan
The storm announced Thursday evening in
Kansas has moved northeastward and is
now impending over Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin. Heavy rain and winds are reported
from the coast of Louisiana and Texas
The temperature remains generally the same
as ON Thursday, but has fallen ON the west
ern gulf coast and northeast of Pennsyl-
vania where northwesterly winds have con-
tinued during the day. Easterly winds pre-
vail on Lake Erie, and south and southeast
erly winds throughout the Mississippi
valley.
Pleasant weather, with light winds, is
probable for Saturday on the Atlantic coast.
The storms in the Northwest will probably
abate during the night. The rain ON the
gulf coast will probably extend into the
interior. Falling barometer, with easterly
winds will probably continue from the
Blue Ridge to the Mississippi river.
