MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

SELLS GREAT EXPOSITION AT PIED
MONT, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER s.
AS a general thing complimentary
notices, many Of ON extravagant char
acter, precedes the advent Of a circus
and menagerie, which after its de-
parture is as often suffered to depar t
without word of commendation. In
justice, however, to an exhibition, or
rather a series of exhibitions COM
prised in the Sells Brothers Exposi-
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 a startling and decidedly
original character, as for example,
those Of the Davene, Stirk and Caron
families. The menagerie is vast in
proportion, and choice in character,
containing amongst other curious ape.
cimens two large hippopotami, mon
ster rhinoceros, a herd of girafes, and
school of sea lions and leopards, be-
sides as the bills announced, herds OF
elephants, giraffes, etc., and at least
100 cages of animals. The expense
Of running this organization must be
immense, but the reputation of the
Sells Brothers will insure them crowds
wherever they exhibit. Emphat-
ically it is by far the best show ex-

'sThe Event of the Season. -

The M. E. Church, South, excur-
sion, yesterday, on the steamer w.
N. Chancellor, to Rose Hill, was
indeed the event of the season. We
only have time this morning before
going to press to say, in brisS that
some 1875 persons enjoyed the pleas
ures of the trip. The boat started
at 9 a. m. under the most delight
full circumstances. The weather
was all that could be desired, and
Capt. Stahl's Star Band being
aboard, the company were treated
throughout the day with numerous
selections of well executed music.
The boat reached the landing near
est Rose Hill &C 1 o'clock, and the
majority of the excursionists enjoy-
ed the walk to DR. Harris SAM tarium
on the summit of the hill, where
they were repaid for their trouble
by quiet rest of three hours, after
which they walked back to the
steamer and returned to- the city at
y o'clock, after first going down to
Blennerhasset Island.
The ladies and gentlemen of the
Church deserve the thanks of our
people for affording so pleasant and
enjoyable an excursion-a short re-
spite from the cares and business
Of life. The ladies provided every
thing, and plenty of it, that the
appetite could crave, and a hand
some sum was netted for the worthy
object of the excursion. The off
GERS Of the boat we're unremitting
in their efforts to make the trip
pleasant, and not a mishap occur
red that we heard of.
The FREEMAN was represented
on the excursion by Mr.. J. NJ. Wal
ters and family.
Let us have more such pleasant,
orderly, refined excursions.
