Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Barclay
Felch gave free lecture to the ladies,
preparatory to a course on the subject.
How to get we'll and how to keep we'll.
The ladies were well pleased, and a
course of lectures was decided upon,
to commence Thursday P. NJ. at 4
o'clock. Teachers and school girls
are especially desired to attend. Mrs.
Felch comes highly recommended, and
to meet her once is sufficient to satisfy
any one of her good sense and ability
to instruct. The small fee charged
should not stand in the way of the
poorest. One dollar for three or SOC.
for single lecture. Mrs. Felch is a
fine woman.

THE CIRCUS. The Great Grecian
Show gave two exhibitions in this city
yesterday, and SO far as we could see
did all and more than previously
advertised. The trapeze performance
was good and likewise the horizontal
bar exhibition The clown nonsense
at times was first rate while at other
times it was real silly. The homeless
actor was quite interesting and the
balancing feats by Mr.. AL. Ringing
were received with applause. Among
the many feats that he did, balancing
large breaking pillow upon his chin
unsupported, was worth the price of
admission. Taken as a whole the
show is passable but when compared
with Barnum's er Coles exhibitions it
is rather tame. They are, however,
not frauds.

Messrs. Coleman Jackson & Co. are
rebuilding their fumes, and will also
change water wheels. Three small
ones will be taken out and one large
wheel put in their place. The food
trash that runs has caused the com
pany much trouble by elogging the
wheels, which necessitates these
changes. The railroad track bridge
leading to this mill is being raised SO
as to allow Bonsley's logs to pass
under it. The bridge will be raised
3 feet and the track at the mill Is
inches.
