and little wild boy Zeppo, representing
no k:own cline or people, dances madly
to the tinkling music Of the $1,000
German dwarf family. Three times
daily, on return Of procession TO the
grounds and after each circus perform
ance, twenty star variety actors give en-.
tertainments. The Chicago Tribune
says; Under the management OF the
Bunnell Brothers proprietors Of the
American Museum, New York, is an
Annex in which is given an enjoyable
performance and where numerous ia
nous curiosities are exhibited. No one
who visits the larger show should neg
lect to visit the Annex.
On last Sunday morning, about
three o'clock, the lightning played
singular freak in the furniture store of
Messrs. Kayser & Wettstein, corner of
Third and Fulton streets. It struck
the chimney in the center Of the building
and divided, part going down one side
and part down the ether, splitting the
shingles and walls slightly, but doing
very little damage to the building. On
the east side of the building which was
struck, Messrs. K. g. W. had put up
one-story frame, and this incorporated
with and forms one apartment with
the lower story Of the main building.
The lightning instead Of slanting off on
the roof Of this, passed down into the
store room and after spelling one look
ing glass, breaking another, and splin-
tering dressing case, passed through
the floor into the basement and damaged
a cupboard. Where it then went to no.
body knows. The other shaft, followed
down the side wall few feet, then went
inside and spoiled handsome coffin,
after which it again took to the wall
and followed it to the ground. Fortu-
nately it did not set the building on fire,
as, at that hour, it would hardly have
been possible to have saved it or its con-
tents, and to have destroyed it would
have inflicted severe loss on this city,
for Messrs. K. g. w. manufacture all
their furniture and they make as good
as any that car be obtained anywhere.
Indeed, some of their chamber suites
and parlor sets are more elegant than
those brought here from the east, but
. we shall hereafter have occasion to no
tice these more at length.

We deeply regret to note the deatl,
) last night of Mr.. A. Seaerberg, recently
: in partnership with MIR. Kemp, in the
e grocery business. Mr.. Sederberg has
: been a sufferer from rheumatism for
$ several months and for years has been
: troubled with disease Of the lungs.
s The latter ailment led him to abandon
0 his profession Of artist, in which he had
d attained considerable celebrity. Some
I of his portraits possess rare merit and
e deserve to be classcd with these execut.
