osCEOLA ITEMS.

From the osccola RcrciHc, of last week, we
learn the following
Dr. Kline, supposed to be the oldest prac-
ticing physician in the State, being past 81
years of age, was prostmted by the heat on
Monday, the 1ith inst. He is recovering
Patrick McCailcrty was also overcome by
the heat, from the effects of which he died.
He was between rs and 80 years of age and
native of Ireland.
Bold RobJery.-On Monday morning last,
Mr.. T. G. Helms of osceola, on going to his
store found that the front door bod been
forced open during the night, and his store
robbed Of goods 10 the amount of four or FIVE
hundred dollars as near as can be asccrtained
at the present writing, The night preceding
tho robbery was bright moonlight one, and
the door Of the store which was forced open
faces Mr.. Helms bed room in his residence
on the opposite side of the street, which
makes this act a bold one, the robbers appar-
emily not caring whether they were seen.
This is the third robbery of MIR Helms in
this building inside of two years, and all have
been similar ms to the manner of entry and
goods taken. Royolyes apparently being
the leading article desired. Three tramps
were seei. at different places in and around
the town on Saturday and Sunday, and it is
supposed that they are the robbers. The
police are on their track. A reward of $50 is
offered for any information that will give any
clue 10 the robbery and reeoyery Of the goods.

A Birthday Wedding.

CHEST, Pa, June 3lst 1ssl.
MIR. EDITOR While time is bringing many
changes, and weaving It's network of joy, as
well as sorrow, / ,was ON the 20th inst,
called from business to attend the marriage

gratulations, and the many valuable presents
given on this occasion, will convey in part the
great respect due the noble couple
OF course, enjoyed the wedding breakfast
or rather dinner for some of us for II was
growing quite late before we were all served
and the way we managed the cake, pies,
turkey, and other delicacies was a caution TO
old folks, Some Of us wouldn't care to attend
a wedding feast every day.
After the pleasant scenes were over, and the
time drew near for the happy couple to leave
our midst affairs assumed a more serious
aspect with great many, smiles of pleasure
gave way TO expressions Of grief, and when
the time came TO say good bye" the true
affection of both father and mother, and the
heartfelt love of brothers and sisters, were
fully exhibited. Truly, Miss Lizzie has left
a good home, and hope has gained pleas
ant position for life As this was the brides
birthday, hope she has got very valuable
birthday present
At about 3 o'clock P. NJ, the happy groom
sailed of with his prize to Indiana town,
from which place they will start west on their
wedding tour.
The newly married couple have our sincere
wishes that they will have pleasant voyage
down the stream Of life and nj last anchor

THE BOY AND THE CIRCUS.

Appropriate to the time is the following
waif which is now going the rounds
The small boy lookcth upon the circus
poster when il is he'd, white and blue, and be-
cometh intoxicated with delight.
For what is II that canieth more joy to the
heart of the small boy than y dead wall COW
cred with crcus posters9
Echo might answer, a deadhcad ticket
covered with the legend admit one.p
And as the boy gazeth on the pictures of
indescribable animals, and upon the impossi-
BILE antics of lightly clothed men and women,
his imagination maketh all the pictures reali-
ties and he is willing to stake his reputation
as a champion marble player that the coming
circus is the best in the world.
And he longeth to so,
So he is joined by other boys of his age,
and they all gaze upon the posters and drink
in the beauties thereof
And they marvel among themselves,
And one boy sayeth he has never seen such
a wonderful display of circus pictures. And
they soon fall to spoculating among them
selves as to whether each performer really
doeth all the things which he is represented
as doing
And another one sayoth he has seen rs
wonderful performances as are pictured out
on the posters
But his companions laugh him to scorn.
So il cometh to pass that the boy who hath
seen all these things is forced to hold his
peace provided he has not deyoured it), for
verify the majority ruleth among the boys.
Soon the all important question cometh up
regarding the prospects of crawling under
the canvas, and they wax enthusiastic, and
in their minds they are all in the circus on the
front seat, each one having found good
place TO crawl under.
But soon one of their number recollecteth
the fact that he was once caught in the act,
and rs he dilates on the canvas men in gen
ersl, and the one who collared him in particu
lar, the courage of the troop oozes out of their
individual ends
But the company adopteth preamble and
resolutions to the effect that it is necessary
that each boy attend the circus.
Any man who hath ever been n small boy
knoweth these things to be true.

BdtcbsHer a Doris Sbow.-The Harrisburg
Patriot of Monday last contains the following
notice of the show that will visit Clearfeld
on Saturday next, July 23d;
"Mr Edward Whiting, press agent for Batch
eller x DOrs' inter-ocean shows, called last
evening and reported immense business at
Pittsburgh on Saturday. At Youngstown,
Ohio, the crowd was so great that the ring
performances were interfered with. At this
latter place the famous Russian athletes
formerly of Coup's, and Vincent Lowandre,
the South American bareback rider, of Bar
NUNS, were added, to the inter-ocean force.
Mossrs, Batcheller q Doris are evidently de-
termined to spare no expense in the way OF
making their allied attractions the most popu-
lar tented exhibition in the country, and that
they are eminently successful is attOstcd by
the comp imentary press notices daily re-
ceived."

THE GREAT SHOW.

Batcheller q Doris Great Inter-ocnn Cir
Gus and Monagerie, said to be one of the very
best exhibitions of the kind travelling this
season. is billed to appear in Clearleld satur-
day, July 23d The Allentown Democrat one
of the ablest and best edited papers in Penn
sylyania, refers to this show in the following
flattering terms:
"Batcheller & Doris Great Inter-Oean
Circus and Menagerie, newly reorganized and
equipped for the present tenting season,
pitched its colossal tents on the Public Com
mon, and gave entertainments afternoon and
evening to large and delighted audiences
The grand street parade at Z o'clock A. NJ
was beyond question one of the most brilliant
pagcants ever presented to our people and
was witnessed by immense crowds of people
lining the various streets through which the
glittering spectacle deiiled, amid the rich and
inspiring strains of music from two splendid
Military Bands placed at the proper intervals
in the long and imposing line. The Chariots,
lines, costumes and other paraphernalia and
equipment are all new and hrst-class, while
the horses and animals of all kinds are in
superb condition and the very choicest of
tltlI hN'tlte' iut uItlllt performances Nt
all by stars of the iist magnitude, and many
Of them Of a new and startling character,
never before shown here, and which were re-
ceived with rounds of applause by the large
audiences compactly filling the spacions tent
The employees Of establishment are courte-
Gus and gentlemanly to an eminent degree,
and their bearing and conduct was in marked
favorable contrast with the behavior exhibit
ed by the general run of circus men visiting
here in former seasons One prominent fea-
ture highly creditable 10 this circus is that
it strictly carries ont to the letter all that IL
promises to do, not omitting single act or
feature advertised, and thus inyioately main
tanning strict faith with its patrons and the
public. The performance here were of such
excellent and exceptional order that the best
classes of our people heartily express the
hope that Messrs. Batchtller & Doris win see
proper to revisit our town before the close of
the season.

mishap, he fell through trap-door, distance
of twelve or fifteen feet and was afterwards

coal to the mouth of the cupola. One leg
was broken, his back injured and body badly
crushed. His physicians in attendance con-
slider him to be in a dangerous condion.
