Burglars .

Burglars entered the house of Mir. Platt Keeler, in Weston, Sunday afternoon, and stole gold and silver watch.

On Thursday of this week we are to have the Great London Circus and Menagerie, with all it's thousand and one attractions An sccu- rate calculation of the three trains which
 transport this great show demonstrates some interesting facts. It is composed of thirty four cars, none of them less than 50 feet in
 length, nor over 65. Their combined length figures 2,040 feet, or 380 yards An ordinary
 train of thirty-four cars would make count ing them 2S feet long, respectively, 952 feet,
 Thus 1t is easy to see that the London Circus trains make what is equivalent to 69 cars more than was ever used by any other show. This calculation does not include the three advance advertising cars Then let us for moment consider the twenty massive golden chariots used in procession-countless display of richly ornamented animal dens- herd of fifteen elephants and fourteen camels canvas lighted throughout by electricity, and long list of circus champions from the first amphitheatres of the old and new worlds, form an irresistible amplitude of wonderful attractions. The baby elephant should not be forgotten in this great exhibition Prior to its birth the proprietors had arranged their manner of transportation, but the advent of the little stranger compelled departure from the old plans. It was found necessary to build new and unusually large car especially for the purpose of transporting father, mother and.infant in separate coach. The vehicle is superbly painted outside and upholstered within with every possible device that will add to the comfort and safety of it's colossal and peculiarly valuable occupants. It isn't everybody can travel in 8 style of luxury equal to this petted baby elephant. It takes frst-ciass passage, sleeping berth and ali, and carries it's trunk along without the trouble of having it checked

An OLD BURIAL YArir OrENEp.

An OLD BURIAL Vault OrENED.-
The arches of the old burial vault of
Wesley Chapel, in Attorney street, New
York, gave way Friday, and almostthe
entire top and one Of the side walls Of
the structure fell in, making great gap
about twenty feet in the ground, which
is about half the area of the yard. Sat
urday a ladder was placed against the
edge, and many persons gratified their
curiosity by going down into the vault.
At one side, where the arch still re-
NAMED standing, could be seen heaps
of mouldy fragments of boards. There
were also several coffin-shaped boxes,
some Of which retained their lids par
TALLY fallen to pieces. The skeletons OF
the dead were exposed to viG@-dis
ioinied and decaying-with no vestige
! of shroud except yellow mould that
would dissolve at touch. Some OF the
broken collins contained only a frag-
meut of a bone. Among the many
fragments of loose boards no traces OF
the bodies once contained in the collins
they composed could be discovered a
former sexton states that the total num-
Der of interments in the vaults was not
far from 5000.
