The VAN AMBURG SHow.-Packed aud
fences yesterday greeted the performances
given in this borough by Van Amburg & Cos
circus troupe, and the rounds of applause
which frequently arose from the throngs in
side the broad canvas showed that they ap-
precisted and were well pleased with the en-
tertainment. In the ring the performing of
Miss Maynard on the tight rope and trspeze
were thrilling and worthy of especial note, as
was slso the skillful riding OF Miss Carroll.
The wonderful exhibition of Ajax, the con-
toltionist, was a show in itself, and the leap
ing and tumhliDg. the juggling and jesting
were all far above the average. Throughout,
the performers were artists in their several
spheres. In the menagerie was : collection
of rare and varied specimens, representing
the animal kingdom of every cline, among
them the remarkable nondescript, whose hid
eous fern attracted the wondering gaze OF
the crowds that gathered about the cage.
The gentlemanly conduct of those connected
with the company, and the excellence of their
entertainment, will make them welcome Wis
itors should they stop here AGAIN West<
chester, CRs. Republican, August 26.
This great show will exhibit 81 st. Glars
vile on September 25th.

The CRoUs.-Ean Ambnrg, Frost & Stones
great Circus and Menagerie arrived in West
Chester at an early hour this morning. They
have with them $50 horses, all in good trim.
They have also 4S wagons containing their
tents and circus paraphernalia. Their tents
are very large and from all Appearances the
performance will be a first class one. In con-
versation with Mr.. II. Frost, one of the firm, a
reporter of the Local News learned that wher
ever they had travelled the show has met with a
great success. At Norristown they did big
business and yesterday they gave a perform
ance at Phoeni1vi1le, which was well attended,
especially in the evening. Mr.. Frost has been
with this shov-36 years and he informs US that
every winter his company feeds about 100 head
of horses throughout different points in Chester
county We asked him about his collection of
animals. "0ur menagerie is very good one,
probably thu, best on the road. Still we have
found that a circus attached always demoraliz-
es menagerie, there being to much to convey
about in bulk. Our show to-day rivals any
on the road and am sure. that everyone will
be delighted with it.-West Chester Pa. News;
August, 26. This mammoth show will give one
of their grand exhibitions in st. Clairsville on
September 25th.

AN item appeared in last weeks
CHRONICLE in reference to an accident
which occurred near Barnesville last
week. The facts are as follows: On
Wednesday a wagon containing Miss
Rachel Steer, Charles Steer, Lemuel
Test, and Miss Mary Kennard, was
struck by freight engine at the cross
ing one mile east of GAINESVILLE. The
three former were thrown on the pilot
and carried in to town without receiv-
ing any injury. Miss Kennard was
found near the track with q probably
fatal fracture of the skull. The wagon

A Bellaire paper advises US that a Pc
titiOn will be presented to the commits
sioners Of the county asking them to
build bridge across McMahon's creek
in that town at the foot of Union street.
AS l understand the law, the commits
sioners can bridge streams only on the
line of county roads. This proposed
bridge is not on the line of county
road. Has the law been changed in this
respect recently, or do the petitioners
mean to ask the commissioners to build
them bridge in defiance of lawp
