AN attache Of the circus had run
away through our streets on "Wednesday
morning, while driving down Main street
y from the Addison House in carriage.
The horse was brought up near Sheldon's

moralzed. No other damage done.

Howes' circus could not be brought d.
rect from Fergennes to Middlebury, ow-
ing to weak bridges, SO detour was
made through Addison aud Weybrdge.
Aud even then they found some Difficult
ty in making their passage. O

liquor at the Addison House, but upon
legal Investigation this charge was moi

-Howes' London Circus visited Mid
dlebury last Wednesday. Their street
display was the best ever made by any
show IN this town. The animals exhibit
ed were similar to those usually travel
ing through the country in menageries
The zebras were thought by some to have
been home made, from mules, by the ju-
dicious application Of artificial coloring
The performances Of the elephants were
pronounced wonderful by all. The riding
was not, in our judgment, superior.

writing up the Otter Creek Valley Fai
at Walliugiord, speaking of the address
which was delivered by our townsman,th'
Hon. James NJ. Sade, says: 1t was al
able aud scholarly production. He spok'
10 u practical manner to them as farmers
He thought the tendency is to desire t
own too large farms. Industry on small
farms would make men rich quicker thar
with shiftless management on large ones
He favored farmers clubs aud agricultur
al libraries. He did not approve Of al
rushing "out West" soon as they are o
age. La this connection he held up Yer
mont as the best State in The uorld st
he born in, to live in, to die ill.," If an.
young man 10 going to be farmer. b.
ADl meaus be "Nermout farmer" if h
is u native. There is no wider field 70
fo. enterprise than in our own State
But we will 20 no further with this au
alysis. There was too much breadth an
scope to it for Us to make any attempt t
do it.
