Last Tuesday being Mardi-gras, and
Wednesday being Washington's birth
day, all public officials had two holi-
days in succession; but these were the
best days we have had for blowing this
season, and the farmers were turning
the soil with a vim. They did not
seem to know that there was such a
thing as Mardi-gras or Washington's
birthday. Holidays will not make a
crop of corn and cotton and the sue
cessful farmer cannot afford any holi-
days besides Sunday.

We publish a very singular article
from the Alexandria Express, in regard
to our report of things that happened
in c0nnexion with Cole and Stoves cir
Gus when here. If our statements were
false, the Express might call them
slanderous; but as the Express had no
means Of knowing they were false, ex-
cept from the er parte statements of the
guilty parties, we think its heading, "a
SANDER refuted." a little far fetched.
We did not relate all the rascallities
committed by the circus employees and
followers; and if we cared to take the
trouble we could furnish she atfidavits
Of many respectable citizens that what
we said was true. However, we think
our word as credible as the denials of a
lot of travelling swindlers and ruffians.
The following, from our nelghbor the
Courier, published on the same day as
this paper, has the following, which is
sufficient confederation OF what we
said:
Coles and Stoves menageries and
circuses, both OF which were billed to
exhibit here, on Wednesday last, joined
their performances in one; but even
then the combination amounted to but
little in point OF arenic merit. They
have at least left very unsavory repu-
tation behind them, for swindling and
first class rowdyism. One OF the bunko
men swindled an old man out OF one
hundred dollars, and a colored man out
Of ten dollars. But the money was re-
covered in both cases. Seven or eight of
