A Grave Oversight,

With the present year expires the law
making couuty Offices salIried positions,
they being then r, turned to the old fee
system for support. In addition to the
abrofation of tn salary law, the last
Legislature enacted a Law establishing n
new schedule o: fees, and in the list
adopted for the government OF County
Clerks, no provision was made for the
issuance Of marriage LICENSES. Now.
iuasmuch AS q law OF This State makes
the commission OF matrimony, without a
legal instrument from the County Clerk
authorizing the preparation of such
proceeding. a p nal o%tTense, the omission
referred to, on tn part Of the Nevada
Solons, is one OF exceeding gravity, and
will inevitably result in great perplc1iiy.
The stolii milf renee manifested by
tn. assembled wisdom OF the s: lte
touching this most important matter. can
only be accounted for on the hypothesis
that the last Legislature was made up
exclusively of cranky old bachelors, who
never expect to marry, and hen-peckcd
husbands, soTry that they ever did.
But the stubborn fact OF the irritating
omission remains, and as there's a whole
lot Of people in this vicinity anxious to
enter the nuptial moose bcior. the warm
weather sets in. something should bc
SuetiIiy done tn Cytrirufr Them from thu.
ttmttlizing position into which they have
been incoutineutly thrust by iurXcusnb'e
Legislative dcrIiciiGn. The smoothe,t
route out o: this legal labyrinth woull
bc the repeal o! the license law and the
adoption Of IL sort Of a go-as.you-plcase
formula on n tough, hard formation.

s:sreus Panic.

TITUSvILLE, Sept. 22.-Tho big ten
OF Barnum's circus was blown down
at tn Is place today, dur ing aperform
ance, and there ensued an extraOrd
nary panic attended with many acci
dents and personal injuries. The can
vas is very large, being over VS26 fee
long, and 1856 feet wide, and under 4
was collected an audience largely com
posed Of women and child rem, perhaps
10 600 In all. The exhibition WIS al
most over when the accident occurred.
A Seins,orm had been raging, and
the sudden darknening OF the sky
caused the performance of the elephan Il
to be cut short. but no particular un
easiness was felt. The neyt thing or
the program was Q skating perform ance
on the stage. In one ring the Clifford
brothers were doing the cannon bal
act, while in the other, Ceballos and
Lowondt, perch per formers, were at.
tracting attention.
THE wHIRLwIND COMING.
Suddenly II began to grow darker and
the wind swayed the canvas more
violently. People began to leave their
seats hastily and pour in a living tide
toward all the places of exit. While
the masses of people were descending
from their seats and filing the area
about the rings the main guys that held
the centre poles. and were attached to
strong stakes, broke with the violencs
OF the wind, and the whole of the vast
canvas collapsed and settled slowly
down on the heads of thousands of CO.
pie who had not yet escaped to the open
air.
A scene CT extraordinary confusion
and excitement ensued. People scat.
tered In all directions; families became
separated, men and women were pray
Ing and screaming, while the rain came
pouring down, attended with almost
continuous flashes tf lightning and
claps of thunder. The other tents re-
mained standing, 30 there was no STAN
pede among the elephants, which were
already shackled and kept quiet. The
other animals made no disturb rbance.
A SCENE OF RUIN.
The people under the tent cut their
way out with knives and extricated
others by that means. When ord or
was partly restored the ground was
found to be strewn with hats, shoes,
bonnets, ,shawls and other articles OF
apparel. Fashionable hats and fine
gowns were ruined by hundreds. The
struggle of the thousands, young and
old, to find shelter and obtain carriages
to reach home was pitiful.
No blame is attached to the manage
ment, as 1t was an unavoidable acci-
dent. The company pays the doctor 8
bills and provides board and care for
the injured. No performance was
given here to night, and the tickets sold
were redeemed, but the circus is an
nounced for Oil City tomorrow as II
nothing had happened. They have ex
ira new tents for such an emergency.
The less to Barnum will foot up to
$S. 900. This is the first accident OF the
kind he has met this season. He had
a like misfortune at Cortlxndt, N. Y,
in July, 1884.

Mr. Spence declined to do this at the

81. Nicholas,

The present number concludes the
Twelfth Volume of st. Nicholas, and
the most prosperous year in the history
OF the magazine, which still heads the
list OF periodicals for boys and girls. 1t
was never more successful than now in
Its efforts to delight young readers,
while at the same time making them
wiser and better. St. Nicholas aims
both to satisfy and develop the tastes
of its constituency and the sponta-
neous and hearty praise besto wed upon
1t by the press of both America aud
England, the enthusiastic tributes
which 1t receives from parenls, and
from boys and girls themselves, are
welcome evidences of the appreciation
in which this magazine is held.
Encouraged by such generous sup
port from the earnest minded people
and press of the land, the editor and
the publishers have sought to obtain for
the new volume attractions even ex-
ceeding any that tho magazine has
heretofore offered to its readers. The
November number begins the Thir-
teenth Volume of St. Nicholas, and,
with that issue, it will appear in a new
cover designed by one of the leading
decorative artists of the day. The

The Feast OF Tabsraucles

Sunset this evening marks the open
ing of the Hebrew Feast of Tabernacles
(Succoth), which, in accordance with
the Biblical command, specially found
in Levitious, chapter xiii, verses 33, "a,
35 and 36. will be observed for seven
days, ordinary labor being prohibited
only on the first two aud the Sabbath.
The festival is intended to serve as re-
minder of the Isralites 'sojour in tents
for forty years while in the Wilderness.
Formerly each Hebrew family erected
its own booth, in which all meals were
partaken of during the prescribed peri.
cd. But the practice has of late fallen
into disuse, particularly in this country
Hence, largo tabernacles are built In
the rear Of s)me OF the synagogues, to
which the congregations repair at the
the close of the regular service and eat
of the fruits Of the season after blessing
God for permitting them to live. Anoth
