SELLS GREAT EXPOSITION AT Pied
MONT, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER s.
AS a general thing complimentary
notices, many of an extravagant char
acter, precedes the advent of a circus
and menagerie, which after its de-
parture is az often suffered to depar t
without word of commendation. In
justice, however, 10 an exhibition, or
rather a series of exhibitions COM
prised in the Sells Brothers Expoai-
tion, an exception should be made, for
positively it is the only show Of the
kind, in our remembrance, that has
truly and faithfully fulfilled every
promise set forth in the advertisement.
We do not believe that one OF the ten
thousand spectators who witnessed
the arenic performances on Monday
night but will cheerfully admit that
they were the best and most unique
that they have ever seen, many
being Of startling and decidedly
original character, as for example,
those Of the Davene. Stirk and Caron
families. The meuagerie is vast III
proportion, and choice in character,
containing amongst other curious spe-
oimens two large hippopotami, mon
ster rhinoceroa, a herd of girafes, and
school OF sea lions and leop.rds, be-
sides as the bills announced, herds Of
elephants, eiraffes, etc., and at least
100 cages of animals. The expense
OF running this organization must be
immense, but the reputation of the
Sells Brothers viii iasure them crowds
wherever they exhibit. Emphat-
ically it is by far the best ahow ex-
tant.- Chicago Times, May 80.

SEVERAL fire insurance companies
have given notice to their agent at
this place to cancel policies on cer-
tain exposed properties until ade-
quate protection is furnished either
by the water company or by the peo-
pie themselves in their corporate ca
pacity.
1t only remains therefore for the
other companies to do the same thing
to place the people Of Frostburg be-
yond the reach of indemnity for loss
by fire.
The wonder is that the companies
have carried their risks here so long.
Our water supply is notoriously mad
equste even to meet usual demands
during dry seasons. In winter, when
it is at lis best, the drain o ccasioned
by an ordinary conAagration is suffi-
cient to exhaust the reservoirs, and
then there is nothing to stay the
spread of the flames. This is known
by every company represented here.
They know, too, that we have no
night watches-that on this account
timely alarms even in wet seasons are
very improbable. Hence, the degree
of consideration for our interests
shown by the companies in spite of
our own neglect, is little leas than
marvellous.
They have at length become alarm
ed. The first step has been taken to
care for their own welfare. They are
not to be blamed. Thsy have, in
fact, set an example we should profit
by. Now what will the people Of
Frostburg do to protect themselves

NERvoUsNEss.-The moment there
is danger of impairment of the mind
from excessive nervons exhaustion, or
where there exists forebodings of evil,
desire for solitude, stunning and
avoiding company, vertigo and ner-
vous debility, or when insanity has
already taken place, Perbna and
Manatin should be implicitly relied
on. But it is never we'll to wait so
long before treatment is commenced.
The early symptoms are loss OF
strength, softness of the muscles, dim
or weak sight, peculiar expression of
the face and eyes, coated tongue, with
impaired digestion or in others, GER
tain powers only are lost, while they
are otherwise enjoying comparatively
good health. In all these Perttaaa
and ManaSn should be at once
taken.

PERSECUTION OF JEWS IN Russia
The extent Of the outrages committed
upon the Jews in Russia may be in
ferred from the fact that in the single
towns of Ekaterinoslav as many as
346 houses were wrecked and plum
dered during the progress of the re-
cent riots, the losses sustained by the
Jews aggregating $458. $50. Includ-
ing the fourteen Russians wounded
by the troops in queiling the tbreak, ,
the number of lives lost so far has
been twenty. eight. At Berchadi
eighty houses of Jews have been
burned, and instances of Jew batting
at other points are numerous. The
police and troops are at length acting
with energy for the restoration of
order.
