The Coming Event-Something En-
tirely New-A Real Roman Hippo
drome. As our readers will observe by the
advertisement in another part of our paper
Fremont is bound to have new sensation.
As we have had but few shows this season
yet. almost anything would be likely to bring
out crowd. But as we are to be treated to
''bran new Enterprise" exactly like that
with which P. T. Barnum has been turning
the world upside down in New York, it will
be strange il We don't see the largest concourse
ever convened in Fremont on the day Of ez-
exhibition.
Judging from all we are able to learn this
is is no humbng, but really grand and mag
| niicent affair, entirely different from any
thing ever seen here.
1t is nothing more nor less than complete
revival Of all the classic sports and pastimes
of the ancient Grecinn and Roman Olympic
Festivals and Games, Chariot Races. Roman
Standing Races, Liberty Races, Elephant and
Camel Races, Indian Races, Flat Races, Sack
and WheeIbarrow Races We notice also
among its unique features, that of Walking
Races By James Smith, the champion walkisi
of the world, who will walk against running
elephant. Also steeple ohases, &c. It must be
a grand sight to see a track 900 feet around
wide as the walls of ancient Babylon, covered
by spacious canopy, Aanked with amphithe
ater seats, capable of seating 10000 people
with ample protection from sun and rain
The whole is brilliantly illuminated by nigh
with 5000 patent gas clusters and jets, pre-
senting a grand and magnificent sight.
To each chariot there win be harnessed ioul
swift running horses, abreast, driven by anna
IONS, all of which are faithfully modelled from
ancient coins, medals, and intagtios; hurdle
racing, steepl e chasing, surprising and eIcit
ing races by elephants, camels, dromedaries

The sewer work on Croghan street has
been let to Messers. Welch & Bro, who
last week commenced the work from the riv-
er. Up to Wednesday the work was COM
pletod to the junction of Front street, but
when it becomes necessary to insert the branch
sewers and catch basins. the work will, of
necessity, become somewhat impeded. Ac-
cording to present indications the undertak-
ing will last some considerable time, but the
beauty is that it is being done carefully.
Probably when the boys get their hands into
the work we may expect little more steam
put on, which, come when it may, will be very
agreeable in the sight Of those who have an
interest in the completion of the improve

Last week we had occasion to refer to the
apparent blunder of some one in the grade Of
portion of State street, which leaves the
street very dangerous for the approaching
dark evenings. We refer to the front Of
Messrs. Thompsons and Schwartz's stores.
The city surveyor states that after he first
graded the streets that the stakes he inserted
were either removed or driven lower, and he
is not accountable for the defect. The prop
erty owners who laid the sidewalk protest that
they did not remove or drive the stakes in
question. Now it does seem that the original
entire grade Of the street, surveyed by the en-
gineer and approved by the Council was COZ
rect, or would not have been passed-and how
the same surveyor could, on second survey
make this mistake, is unaccoUntable. Still
the property owners aver such was the case
and insist they will not be put to the unneces
sary expense of re-laying the walk. So far
both parties proclaim themselves faultless, ,bu
vet to the Inconvenience and danger Of pedes
trians there the unseemly discrepancy exists
and will most assuredly have to be dealt will
in some way by the Council. Without siding
or otherwise with either party, We hope sooi
for the public safety the matter will have at
tention, for unquestionably some one is in th'
wrong and the sooner it is discovered VIII
that soma one is the better, before the pipe
has to be paid to the tune Of dislocated o
fractured limbs.

The Fair at Cleveland.-The North
ern Ohio Fair, to be held at Cleveland, during
five days of the week, commencing SepteTn-
ber I4th, bids fair to excel all the previous
fairs of the association in the number and
character of articles exhibited. An unusually
lively interest seems to be taken by the citi-
zens of the northern part of the state and the
number Of exhibitors from other states prom
ises to be larger than in previous years. 1t is
intended TO make the fair this year rival any
in the country in the excellence and extent Of
the exhibition, and there seems to Be little
doubt that the expectations viii be more than
realized.
The premiums which are more liberal than
formerly, are to be paid IN cash, and the pre-
mium LIST which is very comprehensive, il
easily obtained by addressing the Secretary
Mr.. Sam. Briggs. Such articles IS are moi
enumerated in the regular premium list are
provided for by a special fund, from which
premiums viii be awarded to such as possea
merit and interest.

tent made Glorious
by the arrival of beautiful spring,
with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &c., to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, SO we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers?
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter Of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials OF
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That "the
best is tie cheapest in the end" is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First it the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more fol
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little

FIRE one night last week, about II o'clock, and
