BarHum's Bay.-Yesterday all the
people OF Seneca county, apPar-
emily, besides several from adjOin-
ing counties, attended Barnum's
show. The crowd was immense at
the show both morning and afternoon,
and the attendance was very large
/ in the EVENING" and 81 people are con-
( tent with getting a dollar and a-haifs
worth for fifty cents all must have
been pleased. TheshOw is an immense
affair and good from beginning to
end. The curiosities were wonderful,
with other things, the only trouble
] being that one could not see alIsimpiy
from want Of time There was too
much. The management of this show
i under control Of ". c. Coup, whose
! talents in that line stand out brilliant
lIy. Mr. Barnum's son-in-law, Mr..
[ Hurd, accompanies the show as treas
urer and is very gentlemanly and
full Of business. d. S. Thomas, who
holds the position ofpress attendant,
knows the value OF printers ink as
well as Barnum does, and acts accord
ingly. He is liberal and very gentle
manly. These gentlemen, with nu-
merous Others connected with the
exhibition, constitute the best array Of
managerial talent we ever saw and
are folly competent 10 handle the
greatest slow, the world ever saw.
TO show that the people appreciate
Barnum we have only to add that up
wards Of 5000 people attended the
exhibition 1000 in the morning
and afternoon and large crowd in
the evening.
Police Business, Ete.-Yesterday,
the day of the big show, passed off
with but little disturbance, consider
ing the large crowd and the amount of
cooling drinks it was thought neees-
sary to take. Three arrests were made
for drunkenness and those were all.
Some petty thieving took place, be-
sides several had their pockets picked.
On the morning train one man had
watch taken from his pocket while
two others lost pocket books.
Mr.. Sdnchcomh, Of Green Spring,
was at the depot at 3 P. NJ. assisting
some ladies on the train, when his
pocket was cut and a valuable watch
taken. Mr.. Wenner lost his pocket
book by the same light-fingered gem
try. Tie Office OfG W. Canning
hams mill was enIe-ed while the
man 10 charge was in the mill for q
moment, the money drawer broken
open and 800 taken. -
The boldest thieying took place at a
private house by The Eired girl. The
house stands on an alley and has a
side door, and steps by it., In the az
ternoon a drunken fellow staggered
into the alley, went 20 the steps Of the
house and oInmeneed taking 10 the
girl who stood there. He finally sat
down, then laid down and fell asleep.
The girl waited until the fellow was
sound asleep, when she commenced
rifling his pockets. She watched to
see if any one was looking, and when
a person passed along the street at the
end of tine alley she would dodge back
into the house, and then try it again.
After finishing her stroke OF
business, she called a policeman
to take the fellow away. As
this was being done, gentleman
who lived near, and hadwitnessed the
whole affair, through the Stats of a
window blind, told the policeman the
state of the case, and the latter taxed
the girl with tile robbery. She finally
owned up, and gave back forty cents,
which she claimed was all she got.
A lady who also saw sthe operation,
said the girl took the fsllow's pocket
book, but she denied the soft timpeach-
ment. The fellow was asked if he
had pocket book land if there was
any money in it. His answer showed
that he was not reliable witness

The Wheat CFOp.-ReIatiye to the
prospect of the Ohio crop the Cincin-
J natl Gazette says: For the last week
or ten days we have heard less COM
plaint about poor wheat crop. The
straw is thin on the ground in many
tIJiaces. and the heads are short but
: well filed and the grain plump, so
I that the quality will go far towards
making up any deficiency which there
may he in the yield. The few SAM
pIes which have been sent TO this
: market are unusually good in quality.
/ l'Fhe fact that an ample not to say an
excessive supply of old wheat is being
sent here for sale, is pretty sure in
dication that the new crop is good, as
otherwise farmers would not part with
their old wheat. Other crops are said
to be good in most sections in this
? vicinity.
As regards the wheat eropin Seneca
: county, good judges insist that the
t crop will be much below the average.
+. Some fields are good while Others are
not worth cutting. The crop is esti-
mated to average. seven bushels TO the
! acre. We belieye1t will be much bet
: ter.
