BARNIrM's Worlds Fair came tC
time on Tuesday, and gave two eX
hibitionS. to the satisfaction OF over
four thousand people. This show
has more than double the number
of animals, curiositieS ana mechan,
zeal figures ever before carried
through the country. The giraffe
and sea lion alone were well worth
the price of admission, to say moth
ing of the scores of other rare and
beautiful animals and birds with
which the tent is filed. The circus
performances in the two rival rings,
under the supervision of Mr.. James
Cook. the prince of arena directors,
showed that the actors ere all first
class artists in their profession.
A noteworthy fact was the good
order and feeling which prevailed
throughout the day both on the
show ground and in the village.
Not an instance of drunkenness or
rowdyism was seen. This was due
in great measure to the fact that
no Intoxicating liquor could be
procured in the place. If all tray
cling shows were like Barnum's,
who employs only gentlemen, no
matter what their position, and who
will allow nothing of vulgar or
immoral nature to be introduced,
the preljudices against circuses
would soon die out.
Much of the success attending
this exhibition is due to the good
judgement and pleasant and gentle
manly way of Mr.. Dan. B. Hop
kins, the press agent, who seems de-
lighted to show attentions to the
members of the press, clergymcn
and other guests. Barnun has the
of being a 'humbug,"
but it would be well if there were
more such "hu mbug"-ers, as he al
way gives the public more for their
money than he promises too.

groceries, fruit, confectionery, nuts
&C., has put into his store new

A good assortment of Hamburg
can be found at Mrs. G.
s. Stevens, also a full stock of mil
linery goods. embracing all the
novelties of the season.
The Depot Store at Piermont
crossing is doing a lively business
n the way of selling flour, tea, coffee
md other groceries, crockery, fish
and in fact everything usually found
N a first class country story. Risley
mas the advantage of landing his
goods directly from the cars to the
store, thereby saving expense of
.arting which enables Linn to sell
cheap. Give him a call.

OXFORD. Our beautiful street
ever looked more beautiful than it
oeS just now, these fine showers
+ rain make all the scenery to put
II and wear living freshness and
perfection. But, whilst my thoughts
I'm upon nature. there is one part
f creation, upon which | often am
ID to reflect with especial sadness,
ince man treats it improperly.
The mercitul man is merciful to his
east" writes the pen of wisdom.
IAN person be said to be merciful
