Circus COMING. = The Morristown
(Tennessee) Gazette has the following to
say of old John Robinson's circus:
John Robinson's circus has come and
gone, and we pronounce it the best show
that has ever exhibited in our midst.
The number under the canvas was esti.
mated at from twenty-five hundred to
three thousand persons. The crowd was
mostly from the country and came in
every conceivable manner. BY daylight
Thursday morning the Beans Station
road was a sight worth sesing-some rid.
ing three on one animal, others in hacks,
and about six hundred on foot coming
down the middle OF the road. A good
deal of bust-head was sold and drank,
and quite a number Rugged the ground
fall of JOY or something. but we heard
of no disturbances az aBy kind, neither
a disposition on the part Of the visitors
to engage in a row. In short, the day
was quiet enough for such an occasion,
and will be long remembered by those
who witnessed a circus for the first time
in all their life.

At Hamilton, Ontario, one evening
last week, a quantity of gas escaped from
the street pipe into a sewer. Seine
workmen were sent to discover the leak,
and the electric sparks from their boring
tools set fire to the gas, and the fame
followed the sewer, causing an explosion
about one hundred feet distance. The

How to Lead a car.

He was a small but muscular boy, and
the calf was probably two months old,
with q development of unadulterated
cussedness that would do credit to a Ku.
Klux Khan Captain. There was a rope
between them, and, as they went down
South Third street, bets were about ever
as to whether the boy was leading the
calf, or the calf leading the boy. The
calf made a dash for the Central Express
office. The boy pulled him back, and he
made a dash for the boy, who ran around
a wagon and fell over a watermelon pile;
the proprietor whereof swore copiously.
Come back here, you Internal clod-
buster, and pay for this melon"
Say, NH lister: %whoa-give me
my-thunderation on you-hat, won't
yer?"
And the calf kicked up his heels and
b-a-a-d, and tried to run into q store, but
the boy sat back on the line with all his
strength, and suddenly sat down in the
mud, as the calf altered his mind and
turned around to look at him. They
went quietly ten steps, till a dog barked,
when it took four circles around the boy
in as many seconds, tying his legs up in
the line, bringing him down in the mud
again, and dragging him around until
be looked like an old hat that had been
run over by the ice cart for two
seasons
A philauthropic fat man went to the
boy assistance, but the calf kicked him
on the shin and butted him in the con
denser, so that he sat down on the curb.
stone and tried to die easy. Then the
boy and Gait entangled themselves and
started down the street like a mail train
behind time, until the calf, soaring at
something, stopped suddenly, and the
boy suddenly fell over it and lost the
rope. The calf at once took to his heels,
every boy in the street running after and
grabbing at the rope, until it got tangled
in the bridge, when his conductor caught
him by the ear ard tail, and a lively
fight took place all across the bridge
and out of sight, while everybody along
the street proceeded to tell how easy it
is to lead a calf if you only go their way
about it.
