THE BIG SHOP TO.DiY.

Forepaugh's great circus and me-
nagerle made grand entry into st.
Paul this morning, and gave the peo-
pie a foretaste, by the street parade,
OF what may be seen beneath the
canvas. There is no doubt whatever
but this is by-far the finest combina-
ton ever gotten together in this
country. 1t embraces the best fea-
lures Of a score of exhibitions that
have for years delighted large
audiences IN every part of the world.
The elephants, seven in number, are
trained to perform some of the most
wonderful antics, while the lions and
tigers are the handsOmest specimens
OF those monarchs Of the forest and
the jungle to be found in the world.
The performers in the circus are the
best artists that could be collected.
The stud Of horses is the largest and
best trained ever exhibited. Our cit
liens will not have an another oppor-
tunity 10 see this exhibition. The
band will strike up the overture at ?
o'clock this afternoon and s o'clock
this evening.

of Haives.ers and Self Binders, on the farm of

chimes work in heavy wheat, and thoroughly
examining them, we give it as our opinion

Its success has been most extraordinary. |
now rivals, after few years of existence, the
great New England Fire Insurance panies
which have heretofore drained so mnch
money from the fertile fields of the west
to enrich the barren rocks of Yankee land
To those who desire cheap insurance in the
most reliable insurance company in the State,
we would say by all means patronize that

are over ONE MILLION dollars land it has reach
