London Circus,


Among all he great circuses is the gigantic
combination OF the dozen or more frst-class
shows boiled down into the title of the Great
London Circus Cooper, Bailey & Co., propri-
etors; and its advent here which will occur on
the 23d inst. is an event looked forward to
with unusual interest by everybody. Its herd
OF fifteen elephants, and the sucking baby ele-
phant and its proud parents, the now famous
electric light, the tremendous consolidated
menagerie of half a hundred well-filled cages,
and the exhaustless catalogue of circus celeb
ties, make up programme Of SURPRISING ex-
cellence. Its coming is certain to be greeted
with such an outpouring of the populace as
was ne yer before witnessed in this locality
Among the novelties announced is team of
ordinary working cattle, or oxen, which per-
form incredible feats of military drill, march
ing by right and left flank, building up pyra-
midson towering pedestals, lettering on boards,
and leaping over one another with the agility
Of the stag. In their wonderful exhibition Of
culture no whip or other coercion is used, but
the great brutes obey the voice of their teach
er with degree of intelligence equal to the
horse.

A Card.

Persons contemplating the purchase of an
Encyclopedia of any kind will doewell to call
on the undersigned and examine the several
publications of this class before purchasing
elsewhere, as we have constantly on hand for
examination and comparison copies of the
latest editions of the American, Britannica,
Johnson's, Zell's and Chambers Cyclopndia
Several professional and business men in
this city and vicinity who not long ago sub
scribed for the Encyclopedia Britannica, find
themselves greatly disappointed in the work
as book of reference for daily and family
use, and have either made an exchange for the
American or offered to assign their subscrip-
tons aoah a gift of four volatmes to any
who will assume their obligations to purchase
the future volumes, which will not be complet-
ed for the next four or five years.
Scientists who have use for any of the special
treatises Of the Britannica will be able to buy
them separately or obtain the completed work
at large discount as soon as it is completed,
so many are being offered to us in exchange
for the American Cyclop@dia.
