fussing with the ushers about his seat,
excited much laughter while the orchestra
played the overture. For two hours there
were all sorts of performances going on
simultaneously, on the stage and in all the
rings; hurdle racing, vaulting and tu1nbling,
trapeze and acrobat feats, boxing, wrestling,
fencing, bicycle riding, juggling, rope walk
ing, etc. Elephants and ponies did funny
things and though the clowns said not q
word they kept every body laughing. The
most ludicrous thing was the little elephant
dressed like clown sitting up in a chair
eating dinner with the clown. He rang the
BELL held the glass of water, wiped his
mouth with the napkin and displayed very
good table manners. A good thing and
something new, was the obstacle race. The
contestants had to reach the goal, fifty
yards distant, by climbing high ladders,
crawling through boxes and barrels, scra1nb-
ling over slippery heights, going in and out
of pits, and lastly, running over suspen-
ded net, fifty feet long, with meshes foot
long. The people were there in crowds,
many standing, and apparently the most
delighted set you ever saw. The Rev,
Henry Ward Beecher said that Barnums
exhibition was no longer show, it was an
institution, and he might have added that
it would draw.better than all the preachers,
himself included. Go to a circus and You
will conclude that the children are not all
dressed in short skirts and knee pants.

PITTsyILLE. We were visited by
one of the worst storms on Saturday
of last week that this part of the
country has ever known. 1t COMMENCE
ed about II m. and lasted till three p.
m. At first it came from the east the
wind blowing a fearful gale At
about half past one the wind changed
into the west, the rain still pouring in
torrents. There was hardly a house
that was proof against the storm, the
rain penetrating and doing much dam
age to walls and furniture.
L. Pitts liberty pole was struck by
lightning and about 10 feet of the top
was broken off the rest being badly
shattered. The yellow river raised six
feet in six hours and is still high.
At the school meeting on the eve of
the 23d, the order to sell the school
house was recinded.
The specifications drawn up by the
committee were not adopted. After
considerable debate it was moved to
adjourn.
If the tax payers of this school dis
trict want a school house built this
fall they will have to put their should
er to the wheel and find out just what
they want, then go ahead and build it.
Everybody seems to be waiting for
some one else to do the work.
Mr.. Sanford is putting up an addi-
ton to his house 14x26 with II foot
posts He also has the honor Of own
ing the first telephone line in town. 1t
connects his shop and residence.
Messrs. Ward & Hiles have com
menced the preliminary survey of the
railroad from DextervilIe to PittsviIle.
They expect to go right to work at
clearing and grading.
L. Ward has just completed the
saving up of his stock of logs for this
season. He has commenced running
his shingle machine and with other
work will keep his men busy till fall
