An Escaped RhinocerOs.
IT KILLS TWO MEN.

IT KILLS TWO MEN.
A dispatch from Chicago, dated Aug.
10Th, says that letter from Red Bird,
a small town in Munroe county, H.,
gives thrilling account of the escape
from its keepers of the rhinoceros be-
longing to Warner & Co.'S menagerie
and circus on the occasion of its being
brought into the ring for the first time.
The showmen had prepared the animal
for exhibition by attaching to a ring in
its nose two strong wire ropes, and twen-
ty-four men were deemed sufficient to
control the beast. 1t submitted quietly
to being led from the cage, but on en-.
tering the arena suddenly threw up its
head, and, plunging madly to the right
and left, broke loose from the men and
dashed forward through the tents. Its
first victim was John Gillem, canvas
man, who was knocked down, and, the
beast trampling upon his breast, he was
killed instantly.
1t next ran its nose against Martin
Ready, another canvasman, striking him
in the stomach, ripping out his bowels,
and killing him on the spot. II then
made dash in the direction of the seats,
which by this time were cleared by the
frightened spectators, and knocked down
nearly all of the seats on one side of the
tent, dislocating the shoulder of one of
the employees, and breaking the arm of
a spectator. Running next into the me-
nagerie tent, it upset Mr.. Forepaugh's
den of performing animals, after which
it struck the center-pole with its head,
bringing it down with crash upon the
cages of the tiger and leopard, but not
breaking them so as 20 allow the ami
mails to escape. Dashing into the mu-
scum tent, it broke all the curiositias
frightened all the people in the neigh
borhood, and rushed out through the
canvas into the street, finally stopping
in vacant house, the door of which
stood open. Here the men succeeded in
capturing the animal and getting it into
a cage. The damage to the show was
about $4,000.

Grand Isle County.

The presidential campaign in Grand
Isle county has been lively. Mr.. Bal
lard has spoken in every town for Grant
and Wilson and was received with much
favor. The people turned out en- masse
to hear him. The Burlington Free Press
says that " at North Hero, Wednesday
evening, Hon. Jed p Ladd and Willard
Harrington of St. Adams proposed a
joint debate, which Mr. Ballard accept
ed +; and the meeting lasted until after
midnight. The Greeley disputants made
such a sorry show of themselves and
were SO triumphantly answered by Mr..
Ballad, that they brought their political
journey in Grand Isle county to close.
The republicans in Grand Isle county
are fully alive to the Importance of the
campaign, and will carry the county by
larger majority than ever before. The
liberals are every day becoming beau
tifully less" and if Ladd continues his
labors they will be annihilated before
election. Many democrats utterly re-
fuse to remain with their old party since
it has gone into this shameless Greeley
movement. Alburg promises to give
over 100 majority for the republican
State ticket"

Great Meeting at Rutland.
OVER 5000 PEOPLE PRESENT.

A great Grant and Wilson mass meet
ing was held at Rutland on Tuesday.
Over six thousand people were present.
Speeches by Hon. Geo. b. Loring OF
Mass, Gen. Tuthill of Tennessee, and
others. Music, banners and notices pre-
vailed, in the evening grand torchlight
procession and illumination were the or
der. 1t was grand success, and show

Remember the Polls!

Let every true Grant and Wilson free
man remember the dayIofelection, TUES
DAY SEPTEMBER THIRD, and not
only make his calculations TO be on
hand himself, but also encourage his re-
publican neighbor to do likewise. This
neighborly encouragement is like the ell
bow touch of soldiers as they charge in
battle. 1t is magnetism for each other
and leads to sure victory.

5000 Majority" Z!

Some of the more absurd and crazy
of the Greeleyites in this State, say that
the republican majority in this State on
the first Tuesday of next month will not
be over 5000 to 10000! Now if there
is any Greeley man who is so infatuated
as to believe this assurance, he Is of
course doomed to severe disappoint-
ment. It's hardly possible for the re-
publicans to gain much on former votes
for the reason that they have nothing to
gain from. The republican gain will be
on the increased vote, and we shall give
our usual overwhelming majority. A
few towns will show opposition gains, as
in former years, frequently in conse-
quence Of divisions among the republi-
cans on local candidates, but on the
whole State we shall drown them all out.
In a neighboring town eight weeks
ago, a hundred republicans were claim
ed as disinfected." Two weeks ago it
had dwindled to less than forty and is still
downward. Another town claimed for
ty Greeley republicans at the beginning
ofthe campaign. Last week they claim
ed but ten and we certainly shall not
quarrel over the number they may have
left on the day of election.
The fact is the Hon. JULIUS CON
VERSE is going to have a glorious and
overwhelming majority for governor, and
neither the folly of Greeleyism nor the
darkness of the temporarily suspended
democracy can prevent it.

$4,000 DAMAGE.

On Saturday morning last 2estruc-
tive tornado swept from East Long
Meadow to Wilbraham, Mass and leveled
everything in its path for distance of
five miles, its course being northeasterly.
Stone walls and fences were strewn in
every direction. A strip from five to
fifteen rods in width was cut clean through
a forest of large trees, and several build
ings were blown down, but no dwellings.
Among the buildings unroofed was a
boarding house of the Wilbraham Acad-
envy, which institution sustained loss
of $500. The total loss was about
$4,000.

The New York Tribune reports an
other recruit for the Greeley and Brown
party-Hon. E. A. Rollins of New
Hampshire. This is fair specimen of
the reliability of that paper. Mr.. Roll
Inns made an able speech in favor of
Grant last week. 1t is by such false re-
ports as this that the Tribune seeks to
keep up the failing courage of its party.
A similar report has been in circulation
in reference TO Congressman Kelley of
Pennsylvania, but now that he has made
speech for Grant, that gun is spiked.

PIMPLEs, ERUPTIoNs, ROUGH SKIN. -
The system being put under the influence
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry for few weeks, the skin becomes
smooth, clear, soft and velvety, and be-
ing illuminated with the glow of perfect
health from within, true beauty stands
forth in all its glory. Nothing ever pre-
sented to the public as beautifier of the
complexion ever gave such satisfaction
for this purpose as this Discovery. The
effects of all medicines which operate
upon the system through the medium of
the blood are necessarily slow, no matter
how good the remedy employed. While
one to three bottles clear the skin of
pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots,
comedones or grubs," dozen may pos.
sibly be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofu-
lous or virulent blood poisons. The cure
of all these diseases, however, from the
common pimple to the worst scrofula is,
with the use of this most potent agent,
only a matter of time. Sold by all drug

AN ESSENTIAL OF LONELINESS. TO
be entirely beautiful the hair should be
abundant and lustrous. This is absolute
ly essential to complete loveliness. The
most regular features. the most brilliant
complexion and pearliest teeth fail of
their due effect if the hair be thin, dry
or harsh. On the contrary the plainest
face, if it be but surmounted by luxuri.
ant and silken tresses, is apt to impress
the beholder with sense OF actual beau
ty. That GROWING ornament of her sex
is, happily, within the reach of lovely
woman, and being as discriminating as
she is lovely, she long ago discovered
that LYONS KATHAIRoN was the sure
means of securing it. No preparation
for the Hair ever enjoyed 1.-THE of its
popularity, and no wonder since it pro-
duces such gratifying results. Applied
to the waste and barren places Of the
scalp, it functifies and enriches them with
a new and ample growth. II is not, of
course, pretended that it will do this if
the capacity for reproduction is extinct,
but so long as it remains that wonderful
rehabilitant will assuredly propagate the
germ of the hair into life aud active.

Much ado is made about the default
ers under Grants administration, and
yet the fact is proved that it is more &C.
onomical in proportion than previous
administrations, while the defaulters and
thieves have been arrested and dealt
with according to their acts, and some
are now in prison. No reasonable man
would expect that president could pos
sibly know all Of his appointees. He
must necessarily depend upon the re-
concentrations of others. This has al
ways been so.
Among the defaulters is one about
whom much has been said, especially by
the N. Y. Tribune, which published him
only a few weeks since. His name is
j. F. Bailey, of New York City, and
his defalcation amounts to S132.645.
Now, how came this Bailey to be APP
