Stone & Murray's Circus exhibited in
town Thursday last. The entertainment
was the best we have ever witnessed in
Northern Vermont. There was none of
that low vulgarity you hear in most trav-
cling shows. 1t being good hay day,
there was not a very large audience in
the afternoon, but the evening enter
tainment was well patronized. Some
one who had a "grudge" against this
circus company, was to the trouble of
getting lot of complimentary tickets
printed and scattered them on all the
principal streets in the village, which
was partial success. Instead of Mr..
Murray's portrait being on the ticket it
was ''the savior of our country, George
Washington" The door keeper detected
the game, however, after half his audi
ence was made up of complimentaries.
1t was rather .'seedy" for them, but we
are bound to believe it was the only time
that George Washington ever acted a
die y We hope our friend Camp had
nothing to do with it, How is it David =?
