THE Great Eastern Circus and Menagerie, on
Monday last, caused an immense crowd OF peo-
pie to visit our town. The streets presented al
most as lively an appearance as fourth of July
parade. The exhibition was very creditable to
the parties concerned. The three exhibitions
were well attended. In the afternoon standing
room was In demand. The steam piano ppcd
music, but VIC must confess none of the sweetest
melody. Some improvement might yet be made
on that machine. The Menegerie was nothing
too much to boast of, while the ring perform.
ances were good throughout. Their horses were
in fine condition, and some excellent feats OF
horsemanship were performed by both men and
women. This show it appears has good pat
ronage whenever 1t is put on exhibition, which
is, perhaps, owing to thcii live agent, who un-
dcrstands his business in the advertising line.

TIE heavy rains on Tuesday and Wednesday
last caused much damage south and southwest
of us, and the travel on some Of the railroads
was much interfered with. On Tuesday the in
habitants of Cumberland Valley were made
great sufferers by a heavy rain and hail storm.
The corn and other crops were literally cut to
pieces, aud the fields laid waste. Along the
Juniata there were heavy rains which eonsidera-
bly, intersercd with railroad travel on the Penn
sylvania road. AT Black Log Station, in the
Lewistown Narrows, a landslide OF considerable
magnitude occurred, and until the obstructions
were removed, the trains on that road we're sent
over the sunbury and Lewistown road to this
place, and from here over the N. G. road 10 Har-
risburg. The Cincinnati Express, fast line, and
Philadelphia Express were sent over this route,
and were considerably behind lime. The South
ern Pacific Express trains west, were also sent
via sunbury accompanied by engineers from the
N. c. railway who were acquainted with the
route. Several narrow escapes of terrible acct
dents arc reported, one of which was east Of
Lewistown on the Pennsylvania road, on which
was our esteemed friend Hon. J. B. Linn, Deputy
Secretary of State. The train was running at its
usual speed when IL came In contact with tele-
graph pole blown across the track, and was al
most instantly stopped by the air brake. The
engine was considerably damaged, but no inju-
ry was done to the passengers or to any of the
employees. After further examination, Il was
found that culvert had been washed out short
distance ahead, which, had the first accident not
occurred, would have prccipitatcd the train into
chasm, and probably caused complete wreck,
resulting in great loss of life among the pas
sengers. At one point along Red Hill, on the
Lcwistown railroad, we were Informed, the wa.
ter in certain creek had risen so that 1t covered
the railroad and reached the floor of the postal
car, MS the train ran through It.

THE NEW PosT OFFIcE.-The mail matter and
furniture in the postoffice were moved into the
new postoffice building on Saturday last, and on
Monday morning the first mail was given ont in
the new office. The building was erected for the
purpose of postofIice at the suggestion of our
present polite postmaster, Mr.. j. J. Smith. 1t
is a handsome two story brick building, and is
creditable to the projectors and the town. There
is great Improvement visible between the two
offices. The post oflie room on the first floor is
large and commodious. The interior design was
executed by the Yale Lock Manufacturing Com
pany of Connecticut, and is both convenient and
ornamental In Its structure. The building is
twenty-onc feet front by forty-three in depth
The general delivery is in front four feet in
width. The delivery cases on each side extend
back at an angle about eight feet, from whence
the interior space is continued 10 feet back, G
feet seven inches wide, with boxes on elch side.
The space between the boxes and the walls on
each side, is six feet. At the end of the boxes
on the left, is the money order desk. On each
side, in the centre is box delivery, besides the
general delivery in trout. The number of boxes
is S00 namely, 800 call boxes, $50 lock boxes,
and 2S lock dra wers. These boxes are the pa
tent metallic Yale boxes guilt. The wood work
is pine lnlaid with walnut. The space from the
entrance door to the general delivery is IS feet.
The entrance to the back office is on the right.
The delivery cases on the angle are covered with
stained glass.
All who have seen the new arrangement ex-
press their admiration, and feel a just pride in
having postotiice which compares fivorably
with any other In the State. And as the enter
prise is solely an individual one, accomplished
through the indefatigab'e efforts of postmaster
Smith, the citizens need not feel under obliga-
tions 10 the government for this improvement.
Sunbury can well boast of its neat, convenient
postoflice as well as an accommodating post
master, and one of the most agreeable and polite
postoflice clerks that can be found in the State

make him worthy of his high destinies.
Let him never forget the motto of the
head of our family: Everything for
the French people. Let him fix ON his
mind the writings of the prisoner of
st. Helena. Let him study the EN-
peror's deeds and correspondence, and
finally let him remember, when circum-
stances permit, that the cause of the
people is the cause of France. Power
is heavy burden, because one cannot
always do all the good one could wish,
and because contemporaries seldom
render Justice SO that in order to fulfill
ones mission one must have faith in and
consciously appreciate his duty. It is
necessary to consider that from heaven

illustrious uncle that has always in

worthy of his name. I leave to the

wish that, at the majority of my son,
she shall live at the Elysee and Biarritz.
I trust that my memory shall be dear to
her, and that after my death she may
forget whatever unhapp1ness may have
caused her. With regard to my son,
let him keep as talisman the seal 1

comes from my mother. Let him care

me from the Emperor my uncle, and let

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
save the Bones.

We see on almost every farm, ali over
the land, old bones scattered around as
though they were worthless. In many
places, persons are doing a good bust
ness by gathering these bones and sell
ing them. Every farmer or fruit
grower should prepare place to save
the bones. Instead of giving large
bones to dogs to carry off and hide, put
them in bone-box and make them use
full. A few pounds'of bones are worth
as much as a wagon load of barn yard
manure. The farmer may ask, &c How
shall I get the richness sout of these
bones ?" In the first place when you
prepare your leach to get lye, for max
ing soap, put the bones in the bottom
of the leach (; after you get all the lye
out of the ashes, take the bones ou4. all
of the softer bones will now mash up
very easily, but those that remain hard
must be boiled in lye until they become
soft; after which they may be ground in
a corn and cob mill, if you have one; if
not, you can mash them with hammer;
the finer they are ground the better they
are You now take this bone dust and
sprinkle very little of it about any
thing that you want to have grow fast !;
be sure and put but little to a
plant, as this is a very powerful fer
till er.
The lye that these bones have been
boiled in is also q very powerful fertil-
izer; it may be diluted with water or
soapsuds and applied to the ground,
near vegetables; but do not put it on
vegetables, as it is too powerful for
them. I use it altogether on my pear
trees; I dilute it about one-half with
soapsuds, and, with the stub of an old
broom, L apply it to the bodies of the
trees. By this means 7 keep the body
of the tree clean and bright, and the sub
stance all goes to the roots, which will
make the, tree grow and bear fruit of
extraordinary size, and very superior ex-
cellence.
Bones can also be prepared by burn
ing them until they can easily be mash
ed. this is a very simple and quick pro-
cess. but the burning of the bones de-
stroysi more than half of the fertilizing
properties. Cor. Ohio Farmer.

Ironing shirt Fronts.

In first class laundry starch is made
in the usual manner; to pail of starch
a whole sperm candle is used. When
the linen is dry, it is dipped in the cold
starch and ironed in the ordinary way !;
then it is dampened with wet cloth
and the polish-iron passed over it. This
is an ordinary smoothing iron, ground
off SO that the edges are all rounding.
To this last manipulation the linen is
indebted for the peculiar laundry gloss
we admire so much, but which many
house-keepers have vainly striyen to
leave upon the wristbands and bosoms
of their husbands shirts.
