A Circus Coming.

The advance agent of VIM. Main
& Co.'S New Consolidated Shows was
here Thursday and made arrange
ments fortwo exhibitions at this place
on Monday, Aug. Goth. 1t is repre-
sented as strictly first-class tent
show, and we don't know what in the
world the church people are going to
do about it, as there is no menagerie
attached to which they can go and
take the children. True the clown
is always very interesting animal,
and the troups of beautiful young
ladies with their gaily colored dresses
about thirteen inches long are always
quite attractive studies in natural
history. And the charming little
gazelle who sails around the ring on
a bareback horse with one foot point
ing to six o'clock and the other to
high noon is just too great natural
wonder for anybody to miss seeing.
The Sharon Pa, Leade rcompliments
this show as follows:
"Main & Co.'S Show pitched their
tents here on Monday and gave a
first-class exhibition. All in attend
ance seemed pleased and many were
heard to say that it was the best show
they ever attended. The performance
throughout was much above the aver
age. The clowns were funny, the
gymnasts and tumblers were the best.
The contortionist was immense, and
trained horses and ponies did some
very difficult feats, the bulldog and
the "imagination" brought down the
house. Prof. Austin's troupe of
trained dogs "took the cake and
licked the platter"
