THE CIRCUS rs COMING.

Backentose Cosmopolitan Circus and
Menagerie, whose advertisement will
be seen on another page, will visit
GAINESVILLE Thursday March %. As
regards the performances of this
troupe, the Helena Clarion says:
Backenstose's Circus, Menageric and
Museum exhibited in this place last
Thursday, and had full house both
day and night. 1t was conceded by all
to be the best and most accomplished
Company that ever visited here. The
renowned Southern favorite, happy
jack Lawton, as chief clown, and his
appearance in the ring is replete with
Jun. The different roles are all repre-
sented by first class artists. Mr.. Whet-
tony, NJ. Covelli, Mrs Warner, Mad
anne Whettony are masters in their
profession. Miss Rosa, the Queen of
the Air, in her beautiful balancing on
the trapeze, presents fairy-like scene
of beauty and holds the audience in
breathless amazement. But the most
wonderful feast of the circus are per-
formed on the double trapeze by Mile
Oracle, (the Iron Jaws) and Harry
Clark. We have never seen anything
to equal their extraordinary perform
ances. Oracle, suspended by her feet
in mid air, head downward, and hold
ing her partner, weighing one hundred
and sixty pounds) by her teeth alone,
presents wonderful feat of strength
and agility, and gives her the appro-
pirate name of Iron Jaws" They
would be great attractions in any show.
Altogether, DR.. Backenstose has
a superior company, and he en-
forces strict discipline, tolerating no
profanity, intemperance, late hours or
any irregular habits among his people,
and thus the moral of his show are,
perhaps, the best of any travelling COM
pany in the country.

THR KATIE PUTNAM TROUPE.
This splendid company made its first
appearance in our city last Wednes-
day night, and, We are sorry to say, to
nothing like so large an audience as
they deserve. The piece performed
that night was the beautiful drama, "0ld
Curiosity Shop" and the rendition of
it was most excellent. Miss Katie
Putnam as Little Nell, and Marchioness
was superb, and Mr.. Browne, as Dick
Swiveller, cannot be surpassed. The
characters Of Old Trent, Quilp and
Brass we're well sustained and in fact,
there was not character iii the piece
that was not well rendered.
On Thursday night Wallack's beau
tiful drama, "Rosedale,' was present
cd. to large and approciatiye audi
ence. Where all deserve 80 much
praise, it seems invidious to mention
any, but we must say that the acting
of Miss Katie as Rosa Leigh, Miss
Osborne as Lady May, Mrs. Ashton,
as Tabitha Stork, f. Browne as Elliott
Gray, Kennicott as Colonel May, and
Ashton as Miles Mckenna, has never
been surpassed in our city.
We go to press too early to speak of
the performance last night, when the
play was "Fanchon," said to be Miss
Katie's best piece.
The play for the Matinee this eve
ming will be Household Treasures"
with farce, and tonight "Meg's Di-
INVERSION" one of Miss Katie's favor
ito pieces. will be brought out, follow
cd by the splendid farce, Stage
Struck" We bespeak for them full
house at each performance, for we are
sure they we'll deserve it.

SMALL PoX.-There are at present
only two cases of this disease, both of
which arc in the family of Mr.. Grigs-
by, who lost daughter last week from
the same disease. There is no in
dication of any spread Of this scourge
and the only cases known this season,
-four in number) can be traced to ac-
tual contact with the disease in
each case. The city authorities, how
ever, are taking all the precautions
necessary to prevent its becoming gen
eral They have employed Mr.. Car
kuff, who has had considerable expert
ence with small pox, to attend to all
cases which may be known, and, as
warm weather approaches, we hope
the disease will soon entirely disap-
pear

"One of the party of Arizonians told the
story Of the ship which was supposed to have
been discovered in the dry lake Of the Colo

now teaming between San Bernardino and
the Clark District, was endeavoring to es-
tablish ferry across the Colorado in 1861.
A boat was constructed and placed on
wagon behind a mule team bound for the
river. When in the bottem Of the dry
lake, which wonderful depression is below
