OLD JOHN RoRINsoN,s SHOW

This vast combination of museum, me-
nagerie, and circus, is now on its fifty
first annual tour, and will exhibit in
jackson, Wednesday, August 26, 1874.
Mr.. Robinson has been before the pub
lie as a Snowman for SO many years, that
the people know him well, and know
that they will never be disappointed by
any statement as to the magnitude of
his exhibitions. We reiterate the opin-
ion of the press and public, wherever he
has exhibited this season, when We say
that his present show far surpasses all
his previous efforts as a manager. From
a number of favorable notices, we clip
the following, from the Pittsburgh Dis
patch:
John Robinson has most assuredly chosen a
suitable name for his vast combination, in call
ing it the Great Exposition of Wonders-no ex-
hibitions could be more deserving of that tltIe-
lots can be seen many varied and wondrous e1-
positions of equestrian and calisthenlc art Lac
equestrian display is among the best ever WIZ VIZ
messed. The menage% act of Miss EMMA Ls.As
was better than any ever heretofore presehteo
to Pittsburgh public, and certainly every one
will acknowledge the superiority OF Geo Kelly
| faculty of knowing how to please his aud1enc-
es. In fact, we think the circus is the best we
have seen, and such seems 70 pc the genera
opinion, for all seem delighted and pleased
The menagerie embrace many rare animals, and
we are not surprised at the liberal patronage
extended to this exhibition. The entire enter
| tainment is conducted and managed with q
degree Of excellence one seldom notices with
| travelling institutions

Letter from Berlin.

u BERLIN, Ang. II, 1874.
lTo the Editor of the Standard:
4 We frequently see letters from different To-
.calities in your paper, and thought perhaps an
item from Berlin would be of interest to some
of the readers of the STANDARD.
The summer term of Randall Academy closed
on the 18th of the present month. The evening
season was opened with prayer, after which the
Principal, Mr.. T. E. Peden, delivered a short
though interesting address.
Miss Selinda Peden received diploma, hav-
ing graduated in the scientific course. This be-
ing the first diploma issued from the 1nstitu-
ton made the occasion of more than ordinary
interest. The exercises of the evening were in
terspersed with vocal and instrumental music,
and upon the whole passed off very pleasantly.
This Institution which was started in adver-
sity seems to be growing in interest,": and is at
present considered to be standing on firm
basis JOEL BAKER.

WE MEAN THIS.-We want everybody owing
us to call and settle forthwith. We have waited
long on many, longer on more, and longest on
all. We must pay our debts and in order to
do this we must have what is coming to US: 10
have from 81 to SO due each from over 900
persons, scattered all over the State, is the fix
we are in, and we can't make personal calls
upon each. We have other business to attend
TO, but we want all who owe us to send in the
amount due us Immediately, and we know
when we tell our friends we need every cent
due us very badly, that none will fail to COM
ply. Attend to it at once. The amount due
from each is small, but in the aggregate will
amount to hundreds to US. Send in yours as
soon as YOU read this.

The Cincinnati Gazette closes an edi-
torial on the Beecher business with the
folIou;no aaneib1a commissions.


How stands the case, now that Moulton has
told what he thinks best, and Beecher has given
his explanation of all? What must be the
Judgment of a candid world? The case seems
to us to stand thus: Tilton has in all his pur-
suit of Beecher's ruin referred to Moulton as
possess ed of the proofs of Beecher's guilt.
Moulton's conduct has countenanced this.
Beecher's statement duplicates Moulton with
Tilton in a conspiracy to blackmal him. Moul-
ton. is now accused. He can no longer plead his
honor as a confidential friend. If he had a
shred of that honor left-if he had not for
feited it by letting go to the public what could
be used to injure Beecher, while now his pre-
tense of keeping back comes in only when
keeping back will help the injury. yet Beecher's
duplicating him in a conspiracy, and accusing
him of treaohery conffdant, would absolye
his honor from secrecy, and would compel him
to defend -himselfif he can.
Beecher has arraigned these two men. They
are now on trial. Tilton's statement stands for
nothing in the presence of Beecher's explana-
tion Of the extracts from his letters, which
We're the only things that gave it color. Il
Beecher's statement is false, Moulton has in his
hands the proof oft. Unless he produces such
proof, Beecher must stand acquitted. And his
acquiftal means the conviction of both Tilton
and Moulton.

Frank Moulton is a great scoundrel.
He and Tilton got seven thousand dol
lars from Beecher, and because he would
not give them five thousand more, they
attempted to ruin him. Beecher de-
mands that Moulton shall tell all he
knows, and produce all the papers he
has, but he refuses, and goes off and tells
George Alfred Townsend big story.
Beecher has the checks. to show part of
the sums that this villain took from him.
Beecher says in his cross examination:

tating every green thing, according to newspa-
per reports. They came into this county on
the 9Th inst, principally in the west part, some
OF them reaching town. few miles west of
town they are so thick that a cornfield would
be stripped of all blades and soft corn in a day
and night.
Orchards are also cleaned out. All you can
see on a peach tree where they are the thickest
are the pits left on the stems. They have trav-
| eled more generally over the state this time,
than any time before, since its settlement. The
southeast part, from Lawrence to Fort Scott,
has not been touched yet, but may be at any
1 time when the wind is in the right direction.
They extend from here to the extreme SOUTH
west part of the State.
On yesterday, Sunday, 9th,) about 10 A. NJ,
there was a strong wind from the southwest,
which continued all day. They began to go

cling about fast as when bees leave the hive

How She Turned Presbyterian.

Mrs. Magruder will probably leave
Mr. Hopkins church, and go hereafter
to the Presbyterian meeting house. DIR.
Hopkins last week had a frightful boil
on his leg, and he experienced very Sc
we're pain when he tried to walk. While
he was sitting in his study on Friday,
Mrs. Magruder called and was ushered
into the parlor. The servant went up
the back stairs to tell the Doctor, and
while she was on her way the Doctor
started down the front stairs to get
drink of water. It hurthim so much to
walk up the steps that he concluded to
slide down the banisters on his stom.
ach and so, looking carefully over the
landing to satisfy himself that nobody
was about, he mounted the banisters
and began to descend. The stairs ran
directly past the parlor door, and Mrs.
Magruder was amazed to see the clergy
man descending with great rapidity Ia
that singular fashion. It seems that the
servant had placed coal-scuttle by the
newel-post while she went for the Doc
tor, and as he descended with the awful
velocity he alighted in the scuttle and
fell to tho floor. Without being aware
of the presence of the visitor, he leaped
up in rage, and exclaiming, "Hang
that woman p gave the scuttle kick,
which sent it whirling into the parlor,
where it brought up in Mrs. Magruder's
lap. Of course she thought the de-
monstration and ejaculation were in
tended for her, and after rising to her
feet and shaking her umbrella at her
pastor, she shouted, eff you kick an
other coalscuttle at me I'll punch you
with this yer umbrella |" She emerged
from the front door with the conviction
that Presbyterianism was the only re-
ligion for her.-Boston Globe.

SHIPBUuDING ON THE CLYDE.
1873 there were $50 ships built on the
Clyde, representing tonnage of 251,-
846 tons. This year the number is ex-
pected to be 200. Of those enumerated
121 were large sea-going steamers, 10
were iron sailing-ships, and 10 wooden,
ships. One firm alone employs 5000
men, and altogether there are more
than $4,000 shipwrights in the neigh
borhood of Glasgow. The largest ship
launched last year was the Iberia, of
