To the New York and New Orleans Cir
Gus and Menagerie, on Thursday morning
July lst, the greatest OF all existing circus
and. menagerie combinations will disem-
bark from the special trains which is call
ed into requisition for the transportation
of its army OF menagerie vans and baggage
wagons, and form its street parade at 10
O clock. At one o'clock the wonderful as
cension feat will take place at the grounds,
free to all spectators, young lady walk
ing a wire TIVE hundred fees in mid air.
There will be three performances, each day,
at 10 in the morning, one in the afternoon
| and 7 o'clock in the evening. Admission
| fifty cents; children under 10 years, twenty
fifty cents; children under eight yeats, free.
| The following account of the performance
and appearance OF this circus and menagerie
| from the Peoria National Democrat will
| give our readers some idea of what they
are going to see: 5
AS every man, woman and child in this
| city is ERE this we'll aware, W. W. Coles
aggregation, known as the New York and
/ New Orleans managerie and circus, has
come and gone. The street parade which
| took place between the hours of ten and
eleven a. M, was witnessed b, thousands
of people who thronged the streets and
! crowded the overlooking windows for
4 many blocks. The parade was an excellent
one, the snake charmer coming in tor his
! full share of wondering admiration. The
parade over, the universal question SEEM
j ed to be ''are you going to the circus ~
and as the. large majority of the answers
/ were in the Affirmative, it may easily be
imagined thai the spacious canvas spread
in Yoris Field, was crowded during both
1 afternoon and evening performances.
OF the menagerie We have nothing but
praise, larger than the majority. 1t is ex.
cellent in every particular, and calculated
to please.
The steam man is q marvel of mechani
cal continuance, and walks backward an6
forward as if blood and muscle, instead o.
steam and iron were its component parts

I species of animals no less rare than curl
Gus and the crowd around their semi
acqueons cage was large and interesting.
: Of course the waxen images OF the prin

tention. They are new and modelled from
life, 80 that those who cannot see the origin
ais and have seen Mr.. Coles figures Cal
rest content that they would rscoga ize tn
former from their resemblance TO tn
latter.
The circus was one of the best We hav
: seen here for mauy seasons. The equestri

bat.out leaps of Kelley and Batchedo
were surprising. The reserved seats, wit
: their cushions and backs, are q new an

College Com mence I'm MT.

The vacation season is coming again, and
while the younger generation looks for
ward with pleasure to its prospective re-
lease from study, we, whose vacations are
over, turn with interest to see what has
been accomplished. and to enjoy the literary
festive season which marks this happy
period. The quiet and faithful labors of
the students, the long winter season of
digging out Greek roots, teaching the
young idea how to shoot,"--must have
harvest time when the faithful laborer re-
ceives due reward for his toll.
No more gratifying reward can crown
the diligent laborers in our colleges than
to receive a token of appreciation from
their interested friends and the public
every year as they approach the final term
mus OF their college career. Let our citi-
zens, therefore, show their appreciation of
the literary institutions in their midst by
attending the commencement exercises
The examination Of students at the
Northwestern University, of this city, will
commence ON next Friday, June 25th. and
continue on Saturday forenoon, Monday

Auspicious Opening.

The opening races on the Watertown
Driving Park, adjourned from Juue 10Th
to Saturday last, June 10Th, were well
attended and created decided interest
among horsemen The weather was all
that could be desired and the track never
in better icondition. The races were con-
Quoted with the utmost fairness and we
heard no dissatisfaction expressed on any
side. 1t is matter of congratulaton that
the good name of the Waterfowl track and
its proprietors was SO well sustained at the
opening OF the season of 1875 on Saturday
last. A number of excelient horses put in an
appearance as contestants tor stakes and
some highly interesting trials of speed were
witnessed. We herewith append the sum-
mary of the different races:

through the tobacco juice the sIush and

,tumps and filthy guilds of tobacco, and
dropping them at every crossing, and
thus block after block repeating the
same disgusting and injurious perform
aucc. She finally reaches home worn

Smcurcd with the most offensive filth,
her stockings sohcd, her limbs wet and
cold.
She had as much stutrIu her hounccs
and pack saddles as would make an
old STYLE dress. This is not all. Her
heel mark is scarcely larger than your

of very narrow sole. 1t Is only five
or six inches long. The heather Chinec
could scarcely do better Look at this
shoe. A heel two inches high shaved
down to point, placed almost under the

the scaphoid cuboid Il, heel. In place of
the supports being on level, the heel Is
tilted up two inches higher, the foot Is
crowded forward, the great toe Is forced
over the others She i constantly

All this forces the entire frame out of

There is IL larger crop Of corn planted
in this county this year than ever was

pie are still planting. One farmer says
he will bring corn down next year to l5c
a bushel; hope he will. There will be
