CIRCUS-STRCCK-

On Wednesday . young fellow, 20 years ol
arc, arrived In this city from Cedar Springs,
having walkcd-a hoofcd it,' as the boys say
$50 miles, his sole object heinz. to 'sscc the cir
Gus" His is perhaps the most complete and
thorough case Of crcus-struck ever developed.
We have hear,l III wislow lady rssisin.. in q
Utah county settlement who sold her sewing
machine and with the proceeds csnc to this city
q couple Of Years ago anti attended the circus
performance. One ef the sterner Sex recently
disposed Of I cook-stovc to obtain money with
which to treat himself and family to the luxury
OF seeing the spangcd knights and trick-2oncs
OF tho saw-aust arcna~ But our Cedar Springs
youth cciipscs these se1ni-insane individuals,
leaving them entirely in the shade He states
that two years ago this summer he walked 10
the citT to see the circus, but arrived two days
after the tcn1s had been struck, and the Show,
ade, had gone hence The Young man has
never recovered from the terrible disappoint-
menr- Two long years has he 1abosed, and
when the news again reached him that the cir
Gus was again coming, he cast about him to as
certain the extent OF BIS tiisposablc property:
Tie result was, that the only article he had
that could be sold was yTain-cradle With which
he Was earning his living. This implement he
closed out to ueighbor at sacrifice, TcceivfnS
only $3 for 1t, and with that sum he started on
foot for this city, arriving on Wednesday With
out cent in bis pocket, tired anil hungry, but
jubilant. The same evening his awkwar!,.
gawky appearance attracted the attention
Of > company Of gentlemen In the bill,
iard-hall. They began qnfzxing him, and
soon asccrtained the object OF his visit
to the metropolis. When asked how he expect
ed to get into the circus without money, he said
he only hoped to sec the tents and pictures, bit
be would stay on the grounds and might posi-
biz obtain glance OF thu animals and some OF
tic circus people After much sport with t1c
enthusiastic countryman, the gentlemen matle
ND purse OF $50, treated him to 3 mug OF

CAMP MEETINGS.


The Closing meeting at MATTHIAS Grove was
held at. the Cornish chapel Friday evening, and
although it rained heavily all the evening, the
chapel was crowded, and it was one of the most
interesting meetings held on the ground. In
our report of the afternoon meeting we omitted
to note that Capt Stnrdivant was present and
spoke about five minutes in his usual effective
style. Also Mr.. Swan, president of the Brown
field Reform Club, made short speech in
which he stated that great temperance refor-
nation had taken place in Brownield during
the past four months
The evening meeting was led by Rev. Mr.
Andrews of Fryeburg and consisted of singing
and short addresses by large number of per-
sons-many of them residents of Fryeburg and
vicinity. Among them were Franklin Shirley
j. Ed. Osgood and others, who spoke of re-
newed interest in the temperance cause, and Of
the good influence Of the meeting.
Mrs. Fitzgerald made very forcible and
telling speech against the use of cider, claim
ing that it was in great many cases the enter
ing wedge of intemperanoe; and that very
many good men aud women hold aloof from
the temperance cause simply for the reason
they are unwilling to give up.--perhaps half a
dozen glasses of cider during the year.
Mrs. +. is very efficient worker and has
strong sympathy and words of encouragement
for the reformed boys that has won for her al
most mothers place in their hearts. The
meeting held until late hour and thus closed
series of temperance meetings. we think the
most interesting ever held in Western Oxfo I'd.
Ex-Gov. Perham has been present at nearly
all the meetings and his earnest words of
counsel and persuasive eloquence will long be
remembered. Rev. o. M. Cousins, under
whose management the meetings have been
held, has been indefatgable in his efforts
and may justly congratulate himself that he
has made the meeting grand success, the
good results of which cannot now be estimated,

Amusements for Fair Week.

Both OF our theatres are to be open for the
amusement of those who visit the Fair this
week. Mr.. john Stetson of the Globe and
Howard theatres, Boston, has provided a fine
bill at Music Hail. The amusing comedy Of
Joshua Whticombs' will be produced, with
Den Thompson, who achieved great success in
Boston, as the star, supported by an excellent
company. The extravaganza of ''Cinderilla,"
will also be given, embracing strongi array of
variety artists, among whom are George For
tescue, Maude Branscombe, Lizzie Kelsey
John Wilson and Virgie Jackson. This pro-
gramme cannot fail to fill the house every
night, especially whenspeople find out what
cozy place Music Hall now is.
Saturday evening representatives of the press
with other gentlemen interested in theatric al
matters, were invited by Mr.. Thaxter, the les
see, to visit the hall and inspect the improve
ments, which are very marked indeed The
whole interior presents new face. The walls
and gallery are handsomely painted in colors,
and the chairs have also received several coats.
Ten whole sets of scenery have been painted
by Lowe and Curtis, and now Music Hall can
produce the modern plays with as good scenic
effect as any theatre in the state. The outlet
in the rear Of the hall was carefully examined
and pronounced perfect for use in case of an
