failed to give us a double column
advertisement, however,) that as a
first class hroken-down show, the
one which was in Pineville the 9th
er day stakes the confectionery"
The acting was poor all round, the
horses booked stiff and "stoved up,"
aod the clowns the poorest We ever
saw. With snch concerns, the dull
monotony experienced while sitting
on a circus seat, made of a hard
board, is oftentimes relieved by
the hearing of nice music, hut on
this particular occasion, such was
not the case, as the notes which
oozed forth from the brass horns,
and were whined out of the cat-gnt
instrument, somewhat assisted by a
hinge base drum, was the dryest and
most sepulchral we have heard for
10 ! these many days. On their
coming out, all who were present at
the evening performance were of
one accord, and that was that they
had been basely deceived, for the
show was poor one, not worthy
the support of any body. They
have gone, however, and taken the
three-headed lady and all the other
accoutrements of this travelling pa.
geant, and may peace be with them.
