w. G. COup's circus and menagerie
drew an immense crowd to town on Fri
day last. The canvas was well filled at
both afternoon and evening performances,
and the entertainments were we'll up to
what was promised. The show presents
many new and remarkable features, and
in many points has 4 just claim to supe-
riority. The brOnchO horses are, per-
haps, the best trained animals on exhibit
tion by any show now travelling. Their
performances are wonderful. The Japan
ese family are a special feature. Their
feats are something new in circus per-
fOrmances in this country, and we'll worth
seeing. The troupe Of performing dogs
is the best we have seen. The collection
of rare animals and birds in the menage-
rie is extensive, and contains some fine
specimens. The magnificent street dis
play is not surpassed by any show.

Philadelphia and other places are ad-
vancing the price of iron and the indica-
tions are that other materials and the
price of labor will be higher. The COM

have limited that it was hushed up be-
cause the criminal and the injured party
belong 20 the same fraternity, but we
can hardly believe this to be true. If it
is, we have no hesitancy in saying that

Thomas X. Beecher.

Is flfty-five years of age, and 4 pastor
in Elmira, New York. He early devel-
oped talents of high order, and these,
added to some harmless eccentricities
Of manner, soon attracted a numei Gus
and delighted auditory. Mr.. Beecher
has served the church in Elmira, with
signal acceptance and distinguished
success for nearly twenty five years.
He did not accept the call in the usual
manner. He only agreed to serve the
church for so much per month until
such time as they should mutually
monthly. That arrangement has con-
tinued to this day. Mr.. Beecher is n
man of broad and thorough culture.
In the estimation Of mary, his scholar
ship is more critical, aud his mental
processes more orderly and logical
than those of his more distinguished
half brother, Henry Ward. He is ne
yer content with mere cursory glance
at things, or a surface acquaintance
with a subject. With strong intuitional
powers he combines keen analysis and
sharp investigation and is ever seeking
to get down to the roots and foundation
of things. His mental processes are very
rapid. An error, a fallacy, . falsehOod
he is quick to discover, and without
hesitation or care for consequences, he
eliminates and discards 1t. With syn
thetical powers equal to his analytical,
he seeksto unity, strengthen and utilize
all remaining truths. He has a whole
some horror of mere negations, and in
sists up"n having truth in definitive
and affirmative form.
Having mind of great originality,
strength and independence he has ever
been In advance OF public opinion; has
had following sometimes large, some
times small; has been greatly honored,
and greatly abused; has sometimes been
comprehended, but oftener misun der
stood; has been warmly loved, and
most heartily hated.
Mr.. Beecher sees truth In all creeds
and good in all churches. He finds
himself In close sympathy and fellow
ship with all good people everywhere.

Life's Best Esta te.

From the Dubuque Daily Times We
copy tie following account of the mar
riage on the 9Th inst, of a daughter of
Mr.. Abel Daugherty originally of Span-
Ger, and many years resident of We'll
lington:
"Weddings bells, so to speak, pealed
forth their Joy Gus notes last night on
Iowa street. At the residence of the
brides father, Miss Lillian Daugherty
was married to Mr.. Frank p. Garcken.
Kew. w. Faucet performed the cere-
mony and gave the formal sanctions of
law and religion to the union of hearts
suitable, devoted and pledged. The
COMPANY was not large. but select, COM
posed principally of relatives and spec
ial friends. The bride has been long
known and highly esteemed in the CITY,
and the bridegroom is one Of dubuque 5
most promising young men. Numerous
friends and acquaintances will wish
them the much joy which ever at
tends true marriage, earth's best es-
tate. The pair for the present have
taken rooms at Mrs. Marsh's, on Julien
avenue. and last night when the festiv-
tiles were over they were driven there

"One is your Master, even Christ; and
all ye are brethren.' The spirit of this
truth possesses and controls him.
Mr.. Beecher Is natural teacher, an
cannot preach without instructing his
hearers. He is exceedingly apt and fer
tile in illustration. His manner is ear
nest, pleasing and often eloquent. Con-
versational in style, of magnetic pres
ence, abounding in tender sympathies
and generous impulses, he often wins
the heart, where he fails to carry the
head. Utterly without ostentation,de ,des-
titute of all sham ministerial dignity, a
friend to the poor, approachablc to ALL
genial companion, a faithful friend-he,
as might be supposed, enjoys the confi-
dence and good will of a vast majo rity
of his fellow-citizens.
He identifies himself readily with ev-
cry movement looking to the social and
material welfare of the community in
which he lives. Whether it be in the
conduct of public schools, in the build
ing of school houses, in the putting
down of sewers and pavements, In the
construction of an opera-hou sc. or in
the building of iron bridges across the
Chemung river, his voice is heard, and
his influence felt, impellinS to good,
honest work, and economical outlay.
He is practical educator, ,besides being
no mean architect and engineer. No
man in Elmira could die, who would be
so much missed, or who Sc loss the peo-
pie would SO universally deplore. His
love for Elmira is fervent and deep.
The most tempting offers from churches
in Hartford, New York aEd Chicago
have failed to SECURE him. He will
probably live and die at his little home
on the hillside, which overlooks the
beautiful valley of the Chemung and
the Queen City of the Southern Tier.
