WHAT A GREAT NEWSPAPER SAYS

WHAT A GREAT NEWSPAPER SAYS
OF THE COMING GREAT SHow.-Un-
questionably by faEthe greatest Menag
arle and Circus that has ever visited this
place. will reach here by special train on
Tuesday Oct. 1st., and that is Tine
Great European Seven Elephant Rail-
road Exposition Of the Sells Bros. Its
proportions are simply enormous, and
its educational and amusement reseur-
ces almost beyond computation. II is
also as superior in refinement and ele-
gance of presentation as it is oyershad-
owing in vastness, and comes recem-
mended and Endorsed as follows by such
indisputable authority and the Cincin-
natti Daily Inquirer, which, in its issue
Of April Sd, says:
THE GREAT EUROPEAN ELEPHANT
RAILROAD SHOW.
THE Messrs. Sells, Of Columbus, SO
widely and well knewn as both daring
and honorable managers in the tented
field, have taken a new departure the
present season, rendered necessary by
the increased size of their menagerie and
circus, and abandon the worm-fenced
high and byways for the straight and
narrow path of the steel rail, over which
their special trains Of animals aud are
mic possessions will thunder to the
amazement, edifcation and delight Of
the natives everywhere. Their present
ventures exceeds, in both size, novelty
and expense, anything of the kind here
tofore attempted, and includes, among
other noticeable features, seven ele-
plants, the largest number exhibited
by any one menagcrie- five performing
baby elephants, pair Of twin baby nur-
sing elephants-a geological curiosity
without parallel-an elephant carried
on the high platform of huge tableau-
car through the streets, the only two
horned rhinoceros III the country, su-
perb Ethiopian horned horse, and other
rare exotic animal attractions. The cir
Gus will present besides an immense
company Of equestrian and gymnastic
celebrities and a troupe Of wonderful
performing dogs, goats, monkeys and
ponies, a stud OF remarkable trick hor-
SEES. Here is more than enough animals
and antics TO satiate the most exactingI
of sawdust patrons, and the decorum
and liberality always charactherizing
the Messrs. Sells management will
render success a well-deserved certainty.

CAPoN ROAD :
NAION hOADs
On Tuesday evening

On Tuesday evening
Sept. 10th, we were cordially invited
10 the residence of Mr.. Levi Sonner,
near Capon Roads to witness the mar
rage Of our much loved, and highly
esteemed friend, Miss Lucy B. Mowery
to Mr.. J. Slower, a kind, noble and
generous hearted young man from Ohie.
When we arrived, we found the bride
awaiting us, deeked in her bridal array.
and looking the happiest and the sweet
est Of the fair. With her many atteh-
dants, the ceremony was performed
with perfect success. After indulging
a short time in good wishes and con-
gratulations, we at once repaired 10 the
refreshment, hall, where we spent an
hour or 50, very pleasantly around a
beautifully laden table, spread with
exceedingly palatable viands. Great
myriads OF the most delicious and
choicest of cakes, candies, nuts, &c. OF
every conceivable kind.
After refreshments, we repaired to a
large and spacious room, where the
ladies and gentlemen gave hearty in
diligence at once to innocent amuse-
ment, such as singing, tet-a-tet, &c.
Our host, one Of the kindest, and most
generous hearted Of men, looking to
the welfare and comfort Of every guest,
chimed in with the merriment; and
from his agility, and the manner IN
which he seemed to appreciate the oc-
casion, we do think, that he certainly
thought himself the youngest on the
floor.
In the midst of our merriment we were
somewhat disturbed by a set OF unruly
boys, but after getting rid OF them,
went on with our enjoyment uninter-
rupted.
On Thursday evening, with much
feelings, we gave our beloved, and most
highly esteemed friends long farewell,
and saw them start for their far of home
in the West.
We think it unfair, though not unjust,
that the Buckeye boys should come in
our midst, and pick cut our falrcst
maids. May much love and many
bright flowers strew their path. NJ.

BETTER THAN VIZ STATED.-Last
week we noticed that Mr.. Robert
Harnsberger had threshed over l.6oo
bushels Of wheat from Gfty-Gve acres Of
land. and stated it to be an average Of
TWENTY-FIVE bushels to the acre. We
do net know how it happened that we
made such a mistake, but those who
read the statement could readily cor
rect it for themselves. The average
was about thirty bushels to the acre,
and the wheat of first quality.-Valley

PIC-NIC.-The Sunday School pic
mic at Mt. Clifton, Saturday last, was
one of the most delightful occasions
we have enjoyed for long time.
The schools met at the church at Mt
Clifton, at half past O'Clock, marched
from there to the grove. at an early
hour the young people, and old ones
too, began to assemble from every
point on the circuit, until not less than
two or three hundred were on the
ground. There were several Sabbath
Schools present, among which was the
Solomon's Church school, conducted
by Captain Peters, which furnished the
schools with excellent music.
At about IL O'Clock the services were
introduced by an appropriate prayer
byIRev. Mr.. Carnahan, after which
that gentleman delivered most earnest
address to the children and teachers
present.
E. F. Rnker, Esq. produceda very
good argument on family devotion.
AT the conclusion fthe speeches the
tables were spread, and all present
partook Of a most sumptuouS repast.
To say that there was an abundance
will rot convey the idea, there was a
supcrabundance Of the very best the
country could produce. If any one
present failed TO get their dinner it was
certainly their own fault. The album
dant supplies furnished by the warm
hearted people Of this neishborhood' is
an additional proof Of their liberality
and generous hospitality. G. NJ. j.

a microphone was placed in the pulpit OF
chapel in this town on recent Sunday,
and connected by a private telegraph line
With the residence of gentleman over a
mile distant. Every part Of the service was
distinctly heard at the gentleman's house,
with the exception OF few words rendered
indistinct by the preachers becoming little
excited and shaking the lncropbone. So
faithfully did the instrument do its work
that the chapel-keeper was heard to close
the doors after service, walk up the aisle,
and up the pulpit-steps, in conversation
with some one else. The idea is about to
be put to practical use, the gentleman al
ready referred to having given instruc-
tions that his house should be connected
with another in tine neighborhood in order
that an invalid may hear the service from
one Of the churches in the town.

OF tne Comstock lode. Four perpendicular
shafts were started, at equal distances along
the route, from the surface, to meet the
main tunnel. The working from the nrst
shaft and the entrance met about four ana
a taif years ago. The second shaft encoun-
tered a body Of water, which burst out so
suddenly that the workmen were obliged 10
flee for their lives, and the shaft became
well. The main tunnel reached this shaft
in 1876 and drained the water. The third
