The circus people exhibited themselves
on the streets yesterday afternoon and
displayed their individual and collective at

V. G. Samuels was greatly struck with

The HERALD has been requested to pub
fish the following sonnet, supposed by its
author, az. H. to be appropriate to the
occasion of this day, namely, the opening
of the new Union depot, the cornerstone of
which was laid in the. very first days of
last November
Nine months-may be few days more or less
Have brought about the Union depot's birth
Which to our progress is a burning hearth
Whose flames our all-dcvoted burgherS bless.
AS these sweet summer smiles our town caress,
Encircling her well-laden fountains grth,
Whence springs redemption from the erst
while dearth
That Ogden rises in an August dres.
Gems from its mountains deck her diadem,
Guests from the valleys throng her busy aisles,
And progress puts her signet on the whole.
Yes, water air and mountain yield the gems
Around crown no shadows can defile
Ofpriestly vesture the most sacred stole.
