A MAGNIFICENT EXHIBITION.
What the Press Says of Batcheller &
Doris Great Circus.


Batcheller q Doris shows will pitch their
tents in West Clearfcld on Saturday, July
23d The show has received good name
wherever it has been this season. Read how
the New York press praises theirperlormnnces
in the following strain
"Batcheller d Doris Great Inter-Ocean
Shows exhibited here yesterday, afternoon
and evening, to immense audiences in fact,
too large for comfort. The performances were
fully up TO the highest standard, and gave
universal satisfaction One Of the many COM
mendable features connected with the able
management of the concern is that the usual
circus denominations of peanut-venders and
candy-butchers, together with all like nui-
sances in the peddling line, are strictly pro-
hibited, and nothing Of the kind was allowed
ON the ground. The street-parade was one of
the most varied and attractive ever seen here.
The geological collection is extensive and in
good condition, and comprises, among num-
erOus novelties, the Egyptian bOyalapus, which
is o genuine curiosity, and attracted great at
tention. b. * d. left fine impression, and
are sure of large patronage on a return VISIT
Binghdmion Daily Republican, June 7th.
Notwithstanding heavy rain all day, the
canvas was packed to the ring-bank by the
most thoroughly pleased audience we ever
saw. The Batcheller q Doris is the most
complete show in all its appointments and sys-
TEN of doing business of all shows that ever
visited this section. The fact that no peanut
or lemonade peddling is allowed in the canvas
is sufficient to recommend it, They are sure
of rousing reception whenever they return

Gross Offence We learn from the
County Commissioners, that il is the habit of
some persons driving teams to allow as many
as five to ten wagons at one time, loaded with
bark, coal, or lumber etc, to congregate and
rest on the bridge across the river at the foot
of Second street, and thereby compel the
bridge to bear a weight never contemplated
by law or common sense Again We are told
that some persons make II resort, night and
day, as place of loaiing, smoking, etc. This
is also contrary to law and decency. We
are glad that the Commissioners have taken
steps to break up these offences and legally
punish the offenders who persist in this
manner of trespassing and jeopardizing the
county property. II is strange that these
offences are freely committed. The law forbid
ding the crime indicated was passed ns far
back as 1886 Two-thirds of the present
drivers have been horn since aud have gradu-
ated at schools of learning. They should
know better than to offend the Taxpayers in
that way.
