John Robinson's Big Show.

The 9th day of September will long be remem-
bered in the annals Of Eaton, for on that day one
of the greatest shows on the earth will give a
holiday exhibition to our citizens. On that day
the famous John Robinson's Worlds Exposition
will pitch its tents, and present to the public the
vast wonders of a grand Menagerie, Aquarium
and Circus. Old John Robinson's name and fame
are too well known to require much notice, but
this season he has gone so far ahead of all prior eff
forts, that we yield him our personal Endorsements
knowing how well he merits it. He seems to
spend his immense wealth with a generous hand,
and has this season lavished over sixty thousand
dollars more upon his mammoth show, which had
already cost over one million OF dollars. The in
trinsic merit of his vast concern made him a sue
cess, and the old adage that success makes sue
cess" is fully proved by his lifelong experience
and the liberal Endorsement of ministers and fami-
lies, as well as the public in general. He has late
Iy added several new features to his Caravan, in
Guiding Giraffes, an immense Rhinoceros, Sea
Lions, Labrador Seals, a gigantic Ostrich, the
largest performing Elephant in America, Asiatic
and African Lions, forty new cages and dens OF
wild beasts from every quarter of the globe, and
also added many Thoroughbred hors s to the
Circus, and engaged some of the best riders and
gymnasts Of Europe and America. The entire
show is so vast that a pen description can not dc
it justice, but we advise the public to go and see
it on THURSDAY, SEPT. 9th, and the day will
be ever after remembered with pleasure. The
grand street parade, which is said to excel any
thing in the United States, will take place on the
morning of the exhibition. Remember the day
THURSDAY. SEPT. 9th, AT EATON. One day
only.

Labor,


Every human being should perform
some sort of labor, either mental or
physical. The piece of machinery
that stands exposed to the weather fol
a few years becomes so rusted that it
must be repaired before il will per.
form the functions for which it was
intended. The same is true of the
mind and body idleness corrodes
the one and units the other for its
duties in the great machinery fsocial
life. fit were possible for the hu-
man race to live in idleness for n GEN.
Jury, we would degenerate into idiot
ic animals, with constitutions too ef-
Terminate for the purposes of sclf-pro-
lection. Philosophers tell us that the
sins of the parent are visited upon
the child to the third and fourth gen.
Grafton. If this be true as regards
the matter of diseases, is it not also
trueconcerning ourphysical strength ?
Because the immediate descendant
does not inherit the talent of the par
emf, it does not by any means follow
that the vigor of mind has been lost
to the human family. Labor of a
physical nature is not only not de-
grading, but our bodies require it in
order that we may enjoy good health,
possess also clear and distinct under
standings.

A number Of Virginia editors and attaches
of the Virginia press left the State last week
upon northern excursion, taking view of
the Philadelphia centennial buildings en-
route. They have had very pleasant time.
They have been literally entertained. In
Baltimore they were feasted by Mr.. ABsLL,
OF the Sun, at bis princeIy country residence,
Guilford, where toasts were given and
speeches made suited to the happy occasion.
In Philadelphia, on Thursday, they were
also finely entertained, had more speeches,
&C., and went to see the centennial grounds
and buildings. They were next to see New
York, and after cruise, each man to his
humor, were expected to return home. We
think they are likely to be done for about
that time. .-.. ..... .-..
