I iyer. the Artful Dodger, and SO on, will be
sustained in manner that renders the sol
liver Twist" of thel Pomerty troupe one OF
the most attractive and interesting plays of
the day. 1t should be borne in mind, too,
that the company is here for but one night
only. Secure seats this morning, and, if you
fill them this evening, you will see Oliver
Twist at its best
While BAG heller 81 Doris circus gave
a creditable exhibition, the thousands who
were drawn to its tents were the victims Of
fraud. In the advertisements and posters,
the public was informed that it should have
a sight of "Prof. Du Ruyter's splendid
museum" Not single curiosity that en-
tiers into the composition of Prof. Du Ruy-
ter's or anybody else's museum, was put
upon exhibition. The public was further
informed that it should have a sight of II.
H. Buttus' New York aquarium" Expec-
tation was high, in this regard; but not a
fish, reptile or monster Of ocean, lake or
river, was there to be seen by anybody. H.
A. Buttus' aquarium is travelling with
Coupe's circus that exhibited in Vincennes,
yesterday, and will probably reach Cairo,
in week or two. What Messrs. B. & D.
had in their side shows, We do not know, or
care to know. They advertised the museum
and aquarium as part of their main estab-
lishment, and gave notice that the "admis-
sion to all, was only 95 cents. The show
was richly worth the quarter; but the de-
ception practiced will be recorded against
the propretors, and may operate to their
disadvantage in the future.
After receiving his goods from the Hi.
nois Central express train that came in
about A o'clock Sunday morning, Mr.. j. II.
Mcbride, the messenger, started with the
dray containing the goods, for the express
Office. While he was in the act of passing
a pile of boxes on the sidewalk near Marks
clothing store, somebody dealt him blow
on the head that brought him to his knees.
A second blow rendered him insensible.
While in this condition he was robbed Of
his watch--a valuable gold one, and Sl45
in cash. As he failed to put in an appear
ance at the express Office, the Waterman
was sent out to search for him, and found
him on the sidewalk where he had been
knocked down. He remained insensible
several hours. On his recovery he could give
no description of his assailant that will be
of assistance to the detective, for the reason
that he had nothing but the glimpse of'the
man who struck him, and he could tell but
little more of him than the fact that he
wore cap. II was bold, devilish deed
and too much to bring the guilty party or
parties to an account for it, cannot be eX-
pended.
An objection that is persistently urged
against the new county road project, is one
that any sensible citizen should be ashamed
to use. 1t is that Taylor and Halliday
want the road, because it will enhance the
value of their lands, The road already
rms through their land, and will remain
there. and lust how much il would add 10
the value of the land to throw up six or
eight feet ridge of dirt on the road bed, no
man has presumed to say. We should be
sorry to see any man so narrow.

fits to the city, and base his
opposition on any such ground-on the
ground that the men who own the
land through which the road runs,
will not be injured, but benefited
Such spirit is curse to any COM
munity where it develops itself. Messrs
Taylor and Halliday have, We understand
given 100 feet, free right of way to the
road and as in addition to that, they would
be compelled to pay, toward the construc
ton of the road, more money than all the
Land they own within a quarter Of mile
OF the route Of the road would sell for

honest, shouldn't their land be bencfttcl3
We think We may safely say, however, that
either one of them would gladly

who will obligatc himself to pay their
