VAN AMDURGH's CONSOLIDATED
SHOws.-Van Amburgh Il Co.'s
consolidated shows gave two exhi-
billions in Titusville on Wednesday
to crowded houses. The aggrega-
ton and combination Of 90 many At
tractions as were embraced in Van
Ambergh's celebrated menagerie
and Frost's popular circus could not
fail to bring out the populace for q
day Of instructive, heightened enter
tainment and recreation. In every
department Of the vast congress law
aud order prevailed, and the long
programme in the arena was gone
through with as advertised. The
animals we're fresh, fine, large spec
linens, well trained and under per-
feet subsection. The circus perform
ance WINS satisfactory to the most
captious critics. The tumblers,
vaulters, jugglers, contortionists,
riders and clowns, showed them
selves to have been culled from the
leading men in the business, and
correspondingly we'll up and skilled
in doing their respective specialties.
We can cheerfnlly recommend this
show as Of the first order of merit,
and have NO hesitation in saying
that the proprietors are honest and
pay their bills in full, rs per con.
tract, on demand.-Tytwsvill Herald,

n The wise man has said, "that
it is better to 60 to the house of
mourning, than the house of feast
ing"
We have never felt the force of
this sentiment more than on re-
cent visit to the house of our friend
and neighbor, Col. j. A. SN1DER.-
He had just returned from q short
absence, to find his darling little
daughter-fair as q lilly; the pride
of her mothers eye-cold in the
embrace of death. She had scarce
ly been deposited in her last resting
place. until sympathizing friends and
attendants were lowering around
the couch Of little ADRIAN. But
friends and medical skill could not
avert his doom. The light Of prom
Use faded from his open brow, and
he, too, started on the journey after
his sweet sister. And we could not
but reflect, ION how frail a thread
hang all our earthly hopes" And
when deaths skeleton tread is heard
in our household, the greatest boon
we can ask, is to feel and know that
We have the heartfelt sympathy Of
our friends and neighbors, in the
same degree, that Col. SNYDER and
his good wife had in their great
sorrow.

No one doubts the importance and value
of being able to write correctly and prop
erly, and yet 1t Is a fact that an alarmingly
large portion of this community write in
a hand that is scarcely more than legible.
OF recent years attempts have been made
to remedy this defect by establishment Of
writing schools, and of these institutions
the latest and best is that recently estab-
lished in the basement of the Whining
ton Institute (entrance on Shipley street)
by Prof. James A. Congden. This gen
tleman's system of instruction it simple,
practical and effectual,. and under his
teachings pupils acquiring proficiency
that is marvellous. He already has formed
two classes, comprising ninety pupils, in
cluding many well known ladies and
gentlemen, and will form a third (and
possibly the last) class on Monday even
ing. His terms are three dollars for
fifteen hours. instruction, and many OF
his pupils have declared that they learned
more in fifteen hours with him, than
during five years in school. The term OF
fifteen hours is generally comprised in six
evenings, but arrangements for longer or
shorter terms can be made at reasonable
rates. A large class should be formed
on Monday night. 4.a t3
