We Have Seen Them.


The editor had the pleasure of wit
Messing the exhibition of S. II. Barrett
& Co. Mammoth Circus, at Mt. Ster-
ling, few days since, and is glad to
say that it is one of the largest and
grandeSt ever put upon the streets OF
any town. The menagerie consists of
a great number of rare animals of al
most every variety on the face of the
earth-such a collection as has never
before been seen with any travelling
show. Mr.. Robert Stickney, who has
always been a general favorite, was per-
lection, and Miss Emma Lake was both
daring and graceful, The horizontal
bar performances by the Renos was ex-
cellent and deserve q larger notice. than
ne have space to give them. The
clowns are the funniest fellows who
ever donned a motley. garb, and the
and the feats of the Malay Prince
attracted special attention.,
Everything connected with this show
is noticeable in elegance and refine
ment.-[Loxington (Ky,) Advertiser.

The Celebration.

The Fourth has come and gone.
Yesterday morning the citizens OF this
city were awakened by the salute fired
at sunri:e. The morning dawned clear
and bright, and everything seemed to
promise a pleasant day upon which to
celebrate the one hundred and seventh
anniversary of the birthday of our ma
ton. At ten O'Clock the procession,
headed by the comrades of Phillipsburg
Post n G. A. r., with the tallest man
in the West as color-bearer, formed
and marched to the grounds. The rear
of the procession was formed by thir-
teen little girls appropriately dressed
and representing the thirteen original
states. On arrival at the grounds the
assemblage was called to order, and
devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. Allen. From this point until the
adjournment for dinner the program
was carried out just as advertised. The
Grafton, by Geo. W. Stinson, was one
of that gentleman's best efforts and was
listened to attentively by large and
appreciative audience.
a short time before the adjournment
for dinner the sky became cloudy, and
just as the crowd had nearly all left the
pavilion, one of our little breezes came
along and split the canvas entirely in
twos
After dinner it became evident that it
was bound to rain, so the canvas was
taken down and the seats removed to
to the court room. A portion of the
crowd assembled in the court room,
some in the stores around the square
and number went home on the first
appearance of rain. The program for
the afternoon. consisting of toasts mu-
sic, etc., was filed in the court room.
Some excellent speeches were made and
ideas advanced by Rev. Allen. E. Davis,
Geo. w. Stinson, G. j. Hardin, the tall
man, who here made his first speech,
and an excellent one.
After supper it quit raining and the
fire works were exhibited from the roof
of the court house. The effect was very
beautiful.
The dance in the evening was order
" and well attended and everyone
present seemed to enjoy themselves.
Had it not rained, as it did nearly the
whole afternoon, we would have had
one of the most enjoyable celebrations
ever held in Phillips county, or any
where else, but we needed the rain, and
all should be thankful to Providence
that it came, even if It did spoil our
sport and wet our clothes.

OUR.PROsPECTIvE RAILROAD.


Much is being said just now about q
new road from Denver to the East, and
we give below an extract from the Den
yer News bearing up on this subject
and as Phillipsburg is on an air line be-
tween Norton and Beloit, two points
mentioned, it would be difficult to build
the road without making this a point,
and considering the many advantages
we could offer such an enterprise, we
Believe there would be no disposition to
90 so:
sit is definitely settled that the Den
yer & Rio Grande will be built from
Denver to Kansas City by as direct a
route as it will be advisable to take.
For long time it has been understood
that the Rio Grande management has
not been altogether satisfied with play
ing second fiddle to the Atchison and
Burlington roads, and have come to the
conclusion that the only way cut of the
mess will he to build direct line of its
own. This is to be done in connection
with the Chicago and Alton road, which
1t is Understood has been fastening a
longing eye on the advantages of Den
for some time past, but owing to the
number of railroads which have pre-
ceeded them, the Chicago and Alton
people have ever failed to take the mi
tial step. It is a settled fact now, how
ever, that the Rio Grande and Chicago
roads have formed q strong coalition
which will result in a new road to the
East from Denver. Another fact which
makes this appear more probable is that
large corps of surveyors have been lay
ing out q route just north of the Kansas
Pacific and taking in all the country
which is taken in by that road. The
new road viii take in Norton, Oberlin,
Beloit, Concordia, branching at Topeka
taking in Atehison and Leavenworth in
Kansas, also st. Joseph, and running to
Kansas City where connections will be
made with the Chicago and Alton.
This viii give the latter line a direct
outlet to Salt Lake City, and by the
time new line is completed it is more than
likely that arrangements viii have been
made with other roads by which an al
most direct line to California will be es-
tablished.
