KLECKNER & Co.'S GRAND CIRCUS
AND MENAGERIE.-This grand com.
bination of novelties will exhibit here
on Saturday, July 18th afternoon and
evening. In the forenoon there will be
q brilliant procession, which If we are
to believe our exchanges, will surpasS
anything in that line that has ever been
seen in this locality. The Cleveland
Herald says of this company:
1.-The proprietors have secured novel
ties and attractions to be found in no
other travelling company in this coun-
try, and perhaps the greatest curiosity,
are the three baby lions, born in this
country, and will undoubtedly be reared
under the protection of the American
Eage. The troupe of native Bedouin
Arabs is another leading feature of this
show. Their feats of strength and agil-
ity are something remarkable, and are
peculiar and different from anything
ever seen in this line before. There is,
besides a large collection of rare ami.
mails, circus in which can be found
performers who stand at the head of
the profession in their different special
ties, embracing no less than twenty-five
actors, among them four ladies with
the queen of the arena Mile Fontain-
bleau. The general management of
this circus is admirable in all respects,
the seating capacity and arrangement
being as near perfect as it can be. The
managers take particular pains that the
ushers shall do their duty in seeing that
the ladies and children shall be satis-
factorily seated, and nothing that can
be added to their comfort shall be
wanted. The box Office is open tWb
hours before the commencement of the
performance.

WE find in New York paper the
following astounding bit of informa.
ton:
Picnics in Pennsylvania wind up
with what is called the Dolly Warden
march-the young ladies standing in a
row and the young men passing along
the line and kissing each good night.
Before we "hurl back the insinua-
ton" we should like to feel assured as
to the facts in the case. If it be true,
then we have missed it in not attending
picnics this season and are willing to
promise steady attendance herea fter.
Can some of our young lady readers
give us any information on this point ?
The facts need not be published and
only our presence at future festivities
will show that we have profited by the
intelligence. If the statement is false
we propose to rise to a high state of in :
dignation and denounce it in Congres-
sional language.

Unfair, because the Hazletonians had a

"LIGIIT AND SHADOWS OF New YORK LIFE -
or, the Sights and Sensations of the Great City.
various phases Its Splendors and Wretched-
ness Its High and Low Life: It's Marble Paia.
Its Rings and Frauds; Its Leading Men and
Politicians Its Adventures; Its Mysteries and
Crime. BY James q. Nc Cabe, Jr.
The National Publishing Co., of Phil
adelphia, have just issued one of the
most remarkable and attractive books
of the day, bearing the above title. 1t
is comprised in one large octave volume
of $50 pages, and illustrated with near
ly 200 fine engravings of noted places,
life and scenes in New York.
To Mr.. McCabe is due the credit of
having produced the most complete
and graphic account of the great city,
and its busy and varied life that it has
been our fortune to meet with. His
book is brim full Of solid and useful
information. and abounds in descrip-
tions of the various public buildings
of New York, its palaces, prisons. ho-
tells, churches, stores, hospitals, etc.
The work sets forth in glowing colors
the noble work for suffering humanity,
which is going on every day in the
great city, and reveals with bold hand
the terrible crimes, the dark mysteries,
and the hidden sins of metropolitan
life. We are introduced into the home
of the Fifth Avenue millionaire, and
carried with equal interest to the squalid
cellar of the Five Points beggar. We
are brought face to face with the good
and the bad, the high and the low,
with leading merchants, bankers, edi.
tors, and actors, with bummers,
with working women, ballet girls, ad-
yenturesses' and host of others, and
we seem to be listening to their stories
from their own lips, so thoroughly does
the author enchain our interest. Our
Warmest enthusiasm and our deepest
contempt are alternately aroused by
the thrilling recitals of their deeds OF
virtue and vice. The history and frauds
of the famous Tammany Ring are re-
| lated with great force and candOr, and
this portion alone is worth the price OF
| the book.
In short the book is New York in
miniature. The author has penetrated,
under the protection of the police, in to
| the darkest and most dangerous haunts
of crime in the city, and has thus been
| enabled to obtain accurate information
on the topics whereof he treats. Visi.
| tors to New York, cannot hope to see
| or know as much of the city as they
may learn by perusal of this book
| To all who contemplate visiting the
great Metropolis, we cnrdially recon-
mend it both for its information and
for its powerful warnings against the
dangers of the city. Those who can
not see New York for themselves will
be in great measure repaid for tina
privation by reading this work. 1t Il
published in both English and Ger
man sold by subscription only, ant
the publishers want agents in every
county.

that he gained the prize by a vote OF
