of late, advertised a museum as one OF
is attractions, when the truth is, but
two travelling shows in the country eX-
hibit a museum; OF these two one Is
Forepaugh's great overland combina-
ton of Menagerie, Museum and Eques-
trian Aggregation, which is to exhibit
at Millersburg, Saturday, Sept. 9th,
afternoon and evening.
Forepaugh's Museum is presented to
the public under a mammoth pavilion,
set apart exclusive for this purpose.
Prominent among the objects of Won
der to be seen in this Museum depart
ment is the famous --.--. --,.-i 8.
Two-HEADED BABY,
Born in Penn township, Morrow coun-
ty, Oct. 18th, ISL. 1t is thus described
by DIR. Dock, an eminent surgeon OF
Pa:
ssMina and Minnie, two beautiful,
bright and cheerful white children
born on the 18th of October 1871, in
Morrow county, Ohio, and now on ex-
hibition, are without exception the most
wonderful and interesting cases we have
ever yet witnessed. They are not mon
strosities or simple coalesced bodies,
but are of one body, with a finely de-
veloped
HEAD AT EACH END.
In short, l can describe them no better
than to let the reader imagine two per-
feet bodies lying OIL table before him
on their backs, then cut each one in half
right through the body at the naval,
then with heads at opposite ends join
these two upper halves of their bodies
and take the lower half OF one and join
it at perfect right angles to this COM
pound body, just where you Joined their
upper halves. Then you have the two,
heads, shoulders, four properly placed
arms and heads, two chests, ,, but one
two legs and feet, one naval,
one genital organ (female) and one out
let of bowel, the physical organization
and functions of which are perfect.
Then on the opposite side of the body,
to the proper legs, is short, stout
limb, with no hip or knee joints, but one
foot, with six small toes, one large and
an incomplete double heel. This un-
developed limb is the only imperfect
and supernumerary piece of the whole
There is nothing repul-
sive, but just the reverse, in their ap-
and no one can behold them
without feeling deeply interested and
fully repaid"
This Museum department is also re-
plete with wonderful specimens of me-
chanical ingenuity in the shape of mov-
ing mechanical figures. It contains
what is known as the
s ELEcrRIcAL DRUMMER.
A mechanical figure of "bold drum
mer boy.n capable of drumming va
riety of popular airs,s using the drum
stick in q most life-like and natural
manner. There is also on exhibition Il
mechanical Nightingale, Oriole and
Lark, surrounded with flowers; they
jump from bush to bush, and trill forth
notes as sweet and clear as ever feath-
cred songster uttered. The ''Lady Bell
Ringers" and the ''Dying Zouave," are
wonderful specimens of automatic skill.
The mechanical Doll Frou-Frou, is an
other object of wonder; it salutes yisi-
tors, walks, and opens and closes its
eyes.
Realistic tableau representations of a
temperate" and Intemperate Family,
exhibiting the effects of intemperance,
also revolutionary relics, ancient ar
NOR, and specimens OF the finny tribe
from river, lake and ocean, constitute
attractive aud instructive features in
the Museum.

vilion, and representations of Napoleon
iii, the Emperor of Germany, and Bis
marck, Dickens, and many other celeb.
rites in war and peace are presented tt
view in official costume. Space will no
permit an enumeration of all the rart
and strange curiosities to be seen il
Forepaugh's magnificent Museum, bu
when it is remembered that this depart
ment, so full of interest and amusemen
to all, constitutes hardly Onetenth par
of what is to be seen in this great "Ag
gregation," as it is most appropriated,
called; when it is remembered that th
finest and largest menagerie on thi
continent and a gigantic equestrian dis
play and trained animal exhibition ar
presented to the public, each under sep
arate tents, the several exhibitions rep
resenting cash investment of near on
million dollars, the visitor can hardl,
comprehend how such 4 stupendou
amount of varied amusing and ihstruc
tive recreation can be aggregated undo
one management and offered to the pub
lie for the ridiculously low admission
fee of 80 cents, and 25 cents for childre
with free exhibition of wild animal
more numerous than has thus far bee
seen here this season.
J. With pleasant weather, we kno,
there will be an immense gatherin
here from all parts of the country, o
Saturday the 27th, the day Forepaug
exhibits here. We have had no ''bi
show here since Forepaugh visited I
