IS The Circus and Menagerie that OK
hibits at our Council Room, every month, was
a little more lively than usual and gave a
better Tor worse) performance on last Monday
evening than for some time past. This was
partly owing to opposition. Opposition gen.
orally stirs people up Barnums show was
exhibiting at Trenton, and they didn't intend
to be outdone by his second-rate concern, or
have the patronage drawn away Barnum
did a mean thing, too. After trying to en-
gage this troupe, and his offer being scorned,
he had the impudence to advertise the Mo-
docs y as among his curiosities, when they had
not left this city, and the few who went to
Barnum's didn't see a single one in the collec-
tion. kWe say-ithat the jliveliness was partly
owing to the "other circus and menagerie -
but not altogether. 1t is quite natural that
every animal should be most at home in his
own element. Whskey was the principal
subject under discussion Monday night and
the Modocs were at home on that. That
stirs them up when they are dull to all other
appeals 1t acts like a hot fire on 4 den of
snakes. We have not space to speak in detail
of the performance, as other matters of a
local character crowd out extended remarks.
We may speak more fully in our next issue.

gB According to our Pennington exchan-
ces the recent fair of the Hunterdon Co.
Agricultural Society was the best ever held.
We are under the impression that they say
that ever year. Now, as far as our observa-
ton went, it was inferior to that of some pre-
vious years. The entries were perhaps as
large, as usual, but the mass of articles ex-
hibitcd were commonplace. The display in
the building was certainly much smaller than
usual Two or three merchants occupied a
considerable portion of it in displaying
shawls and dry goods, which were of no in
teres. to those who attended the fair but were
advertisements of their stores---thus, perhaps
saving some printers ink.s The object Of "a
fair is supposed to be to afford people the OPP
portunity to display new inventions and I'M
provements, specimens of mechanical and
artistic skill, improved stock, the choice pro-
ducts of the soil, &C., with view to encour-
age improvement in all these, and there should
not only be an opportunity offered to display
these, but special effort made to induce per-
sons to exhibit them. We are glad to be able
to commend the Directors for making the
"horse part of the exhibition less prominent
than in former times.

which.we gave lastweek, WAS tested ON last
Saturday morning, the first trial having been
unsatisfactory, owing to the blowing out of
the packing. At this trial it went beyond its
guarantee, and threw an inch and<a quarter

cording to the corhmitteels measurement, the
steam guage showing 140 lbs. pressure ON the
boiler. Two streams We're also thrown about
two hundred feet with smaller MOBILES. The

She made steam fast, and demonstrated that
for steady work she can not easily beexcelled.

The Temperance Vote.

From the noise and bluster around
Eaton eleven months in the year, one
would be lead to conclude that the
Temperance vote would knock the
socks off everything else. But alas
for human nature, how deceptive ?
The Prohibitiouists had a candidate
for Senator and Representative. The
former is a quiet, moral and unob-
trusivc citizen of Eaton, and withal a
man of fair Intelligence. The RAIDS
had a candidate who Il take his lit
tie glass OF whisky, his "swi" glasses
of Lager and sit down and play a
quiet game of poker. The temper
ancc candidate received TwENTY-FoUR
votes in Washington township, and
the Whisky Ring candidate THREE
HUNDRED sEvENTY-THREE! And
yet, some of our good citizens we're
taken to task and severely abused by
supporters of Corwin, because they
voted for Mr.. Edison, our Represen-
tative, who never played a card in his
life, and whose visits 20 a saloon do
not average one a month! Now amt
that consistency?
Then take the two candidates for
Prosecutor. MI. Campbell is a schol-
ara member of the Church-has
acted with the Temperance society
for years-and yet the Temperance
men voted against him and for his
opponent, who will take a little of the
s'ardent" when he feels like It'll We
would like Ikey to rise and explain
why it is thusly?

Who is Cheated 2

The Ring candidate for Prosecutor
made a speech in West Elkton, a few
evenings before the election, and was
~interrogated as to how he stood on
the temperance question, which it is
said he settled very satisfactorily by
referring his interrogation to Bro.
Chambers, Coffman and key of the
REGISTER. In another Township he
was charged with being pledged to
the friends of total abstinence. This
he effectually quieted by referring all
who doubted his standing on that
score, to Bro. Jefferson, Monosmith
and Flemingl AS this gentleman
thought somebody would be cheated
in the election of Mr.. Edison, let him
inform us which of the two parties
referred to have been cheated in his
success?
