The Coming Circus.

Burr Robbins presents his big show to
the people OF Austin on Oct. 2, and the
following ia a criticism of the exhibition
from the Detroit Post and Tribune which
proves that the show is one entitled
to the large patronage it will doubtless
receive. .Ss@5
The Burr Robbins show gave two per
mances in Detroit Saturday. The street
procession in the morning was equal to
usual displays of that kind. but was
scarcely complete enough to give the OBJ
server an adequate idea of the character
of the organization. The performances
themselves were very pleasant surprises.
The circus came without any extended
announcement, with modest claims and an
almost freedom from the buster so COM
mon TO amusements Of the kind. So lit
tie had been claimed for it, in fact. that
the persons that always greet circus an
nouncements with an eager little tlutter
of anticipation turned away from the PIE
liminary statements with disappointment.
All this did not deter large number of
people from visiting the grounds, after
noon and evening. 1t summarizes the
whole performance to say that these peo.
pie were amply repaid for their venture.
The spread of canvass was large enough
to promise plenty OF room. The menag
erie tent was found to be occupied by an
| excellent selection of animals, many of
which are rarely seen in travelling exhibi-
tions. There were not so many that one
became confused in an attempt to see
them all on the other hand, there were
not so few that one felt it scarcely worth
while to look. Not the least interesting
feature of the animal exhibit was the
n>onstrous horse, Modoc, a powerfully
developed colt of five years, from the
north OF France, so high in stature an(
large of limb that one doubted whether
it was horse or some as yet unknown
Quadruped Of similar structure. Their,
was also hippopotamus, ungainly ant
ugly enough to be interesting. The ring
performance was one of the best seen her
in some time. 1t was superior not onl,
in variety and excellence of the acts, bu
in the rapidity and earnestness with whic]
they succeeded each other. The bes
thing about this circus, when all has bee
said, is it's cleanliness and freedom from
the tormenting huckster.

-L1GhTN1NG.-Amo the most re-
markable escapes on record from the fiery
fluid was that of three young men named
G. A. Mcbride, j. H. Ballweber and Geo.
Wetter, which occurred at a point nine
miles east of Austin. in the township of
Marshall, at about midni ght on Thursday,
September 18th. The boys who operate
a steam thresher we're stopping IT the
house of Peter Hannigan, and were
awakened by the tremendous conclusion
which tore the roof off from over their
heads (Which approached to within two
feet Of them), and through which aper-
ture vast quantities of the dismantled
chimneys were hurled upon the bed on
which they lay literally burying them
beneath it. Wonderful to relate although
looking as if they had been wrestling with
cyclone, they felt none of the usual
effects from the close contact of the fluid
and the only marks they bear were caused
by the falling brick. Not soul in the
house was injured, although things were
badly torn up and both chimneys were
wrecked. A vast chasm in the roof
attests the severity Of the stroke. Tho
young men were sleeping upon feather
bed, which may in a measure account fol-
their escape. This is taken from re-
port sent to the St. Paul Globe.
