On Monday next, June 10th, Burr
Robbins New Consolidated Railroad
Shows will give grand street parade
at 10 o'clock q. M, and exhibit after
noon and night. The following criti-
cism is from the Detroit Free Press
and furnishes an excellent endorse
ment of the coming show:
Saturday was day of several in.
teresLing local events, but that which
called out the largest crowd and excited
the most enthusiasm, was the Burr
Robbins circus and menagerie, two
exhibitions of which were given.
In estimating the quality of this
superb show, one should begin at the
beginning, which is to say, at the
menagerie, the first feature of the
great combination that the spectator
encounters on passing the good natur-
ed ticket takers at the gate. In the
tent devoted exclusively TO the me-
nagerie division of this enterprise are
so many rare attractions and interest
ing studies that one finds considerable
difficulty in selecting "a starting point
of description. However, it is a literal
fact that the first object generally seen
is the giant horse, Flemish animal
aud a most extraordinary freak of ma
ture, being 2l4 hands high, Weighing
$500 lbs, and only five years old.
Statistics OH paper convey little or 10
idea of the enormous size of this ami
NAL but when a siX-fOot man tries to
"chin" him, human insignificance
becomes strikingly apparent. Size is
not confined to this single feature OF
the menagerie by good deal. Fol
example, it contains what is confident

neatest and cleanest advertisements o

"Col." A. s. Beecher, of Mantua
Station. was in town on Saturday last
and was interviewed on the political
situation. He is sanguine of Repub-
lican victory the coming campaign
and declares that the people cannot go
back on the e. o. p. that has in the
past furnished them with such an
honest and economical government.
He is enthusiastic over the financial
situation, and looks with pride upon
the United States Navy. Well, Austin
we do think the good people ought to
send you to the legislature.

The usual crowd was in attendance

The usual crowd was in attendance
at the open air Band Concert last SAT
urday evening. An effort was made
to detract from the usual enjoyment of
such occasions by holding a Blaine
and Logan ratification meeting in
front of the Court House. 1t was a
tame affair. About half-past eight p.
m. the Band came out and eXcellently
rendered "Old Hundredn &c, while
Judge Day was getting the power"
When the Band ceased playing the
Judge opened up in his customary
tragic style, and after briefly exhibit
ing the bloody shirt" he quietly re-
sumed his normal condition. Next
came the brave Col. Rowland, the hero
of hard fought battle in a saw mill
in the State of New York, who, in
thunder tones, that made t" the wild
waves roll" J" and the Ides of Novem-
ber' draw near, announced to the vast
multitude'that Blaine and Logan had
been elected. The Colonel" intended
to have said nominated, but the de-
lighted hearers lost sight of the mis-
take through the truly great eloquence
of the speaker. The Colonel sub
sided, when suddenly there leaped to
the front John Porter, without any
other title except simply Esq. Now
Porter did "give it to 'em" right and
left. His gestures were of the sledge-
hammer order, and he was evidently
determined to outdO the orators who
had preceded him. He declared in
favor of " Nation with big N" axd
was opposed to calling our Union
confederacy of States. Well, John,
we think that is Republican doctrine
and permit us to say right here, that
there are many men who are now en-
joying our Union. which is but con-
federacy of States, who have escaped
from the tyranies of a government
across the great waters, where the doc
trine of strong, centralized govern
ment has long tyrannized over the
people.

we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY. OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as We
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not travelling experimental insti-
tuition, and they will continue to buy
their Watches, Silver Ware, etc., of

Investigating an Insurance Com
many.

COLUMBUS, June 9-A large mum.
Der of complaints having been pre-
ferred against the Citizens Mutual
Relief fInsuranceCompany, of Yelling
ton, the Superintendent of Insurance
appointed a committee to examine into
the transactions of that company.
The report of the committee has bee
submitted, and this afternoon Super
intendent Moore filed the following
complaint against the company with
the Attorney General. The examina
ton shows that the company has ex-
ercised powers and franchises contrary
to law, as follows: First, the company
was never legally organized; second,
no annual meeting was ever held !;
third, it was organized for profit !;
fourth, it was operated for profit; fifth,
for the last three years the officers
have failed to file an annual statement
with the Superintendent of Insurance;
sixth. the object of this neglect was to
CONCEAL the actual contractions of the
company for the purpose of profit to
certain of the officers seventh, since
the organization some $4,000 have
been divided as profits, $50, 900 having
been divided during the last three
years. The complaint closes with q
request that proceedings in quo-war.
rantO be instituted against the com.
pany.

Mr.. S. n. Andrews, of Rootstewn, Ohio,) for
sOundness. find him very fine specimen of the
equine species, and as nearly sound as we often
lind horses of his class and (he being nine or
ten years old. My attention was called especial
ly to his hook joints found slight enlarge
ment on the posterior part of one hind leg in
the curb locality (Which / do not consider curb
hae been produced by laceration of some of the
fibres of the calcaneo cuboid -ligament-a very
natural result of the extra weight thrown upon
the hind limbs of horses used in the stud, and
| norat all uncommon in that class of horses, and
not in the least detrimental to their progeny
! Mambrino Mohawk has naturally a very clean
fine set of limbs and parties wishing to breed 10

he has never offered a prize to get Gus
