The last picture display of old John Robinson's
multitude of attractions appears in our issue this
week and next week his immense four-tent COM
bina tion, in the getting up of which he has
spared neither pains nor expense, will be here
This grand combination exhibited in Harri-
sonburg on the 18th, and q number from this
county were present, and unite in pronouncing
it the largest and most complete Aviary, Aqua
rum, Menag erie and Circus ever exhibited in
the Valley. They also unite in saying that old
John, true to hit past, exhibits every animal,
fish, bird and act that he advertises, and that his
they have ever before seen under the same tent.
From every side comes the same report of old
Johns grand Combination, and as the tents are
50 arranged that ministers and their families,
teachers and their scholars, and others, who do
not desire to witness the acts of the arena, can
enter and examine at their leisure all the curlos-
tiles of animated nature under the several huge
tents devoted to that purpose, without entering
the Circus tent, and while, at the same time,
those who delight in circus performances can for
one price visit the whole, we invite the attention
of all to the features of old Johns combination,
as given in the three column advertisement else
where, and advise them of the fact that they
rarely have the opportunity presented OF seeing
so much for so small price
Remember that this grand combination will
exhibit here on Saturday, the 2sth inst, and a!
Waynesboro', on Wednesday, the 25th.
