What everybody says must he true,
.doubting ThomrScs' TO the contrary
Notwithstanding, II is undoubtedly
beyond question that ist arcnic eX-
hibition is the best ever given; its
wonderful stciicrous arena, compris-
ing in MI POO star performers, led by
the rcnoW hed James Robinson, the
greatest bareback rider living, who
positively rides his last season, hay
ing actually retired but was prevailed
upon by Mr.. Barrett To give a fare
well trip under princcly salary. Its
mcnagcric is most stupendous col
lection, consisting of coun less dens
aud cages of rare living wild animals
numbers of which were never cXhib'
! tied before anywhere in the world
| its elevated stage, museum aud grand
racing carnival are on n like scale o
huge magniticence, with its menngc
rie and arenic wonders, In n word
| il i, undoubtedly what we have said
above-what all others say: 9TH,
greatest show in the known world.

Hon. Daniel Roberts, Receiver OIL
the First National Bank, of St. Al.
bans, has received notice from the
Comptroller of the Currency that his
services are not longer wanted, and
Hon. G. W. Writers, of Milton, has
been made his successor. The reason
for Mr.. Roberts removal is not made
known. He has been very active in
the prosecution of the affairs of the
defunct bank, and has made himself
very obnoxious to them, as would nat
urally be the case, but the depositors
and public generally have seemed to
be very well satisfied, and public
opinion does not usually go astray.
1t is intimated that an old feud ex-
lists between the ex-Receiver and 0.
A. Burton, who, through Roberts in
strumentality, is now under indict-
ment, with other officers, for various
alleged offences, and that he has been
guilty of persecution rather than
prosecution. We think the public,
however, will be slow to come to this
conclusion. A correspondent of the
Boston Journal in commenting upon
the affair, says, among other things:
Receiver Roberts says that he has
no doubt the removal was affected
through the law firm of which Smith
NJ. Weed, of Plattsburg, n. Y, is
member. Weed and Secretary Man
ming have been political bedfellows so
many years, are so intimately associ-
~atet1 in political intrigue IN the Empire
State, that no explanation of cause
and effect is necessary in certain cases.
The next move by the power be-
hind the throne of this reform admin
istration will doubtless be to remove
District Attorney Haskins. The next
turn of the wheel will be watched with
much interest. Receiver Roberts pro-
poses to ask the Comptroller of the
Currency for the cause of his remov-
al. If he is removed simply for do
ing his duty the act will be a most
discreditable one on the part of the
administration. Mr.. Writers is the |

business man, and has the confidence
