HAVE A VERITABLE ZOO.
Ringing Bros Wonderful Dis
play of Birds and Animals.

The superiority of Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows over similar
organizations in the United States and
Europe is demonstrated in many ways
but in none more effectively than in its
geological department Many shows
carry menageries, but it has remained
for Ringing Brothers to organize a
complete geological garden, in which
every beast of the jungle and every
fowl of the air is displayed with prop
er classification and in manner TO per-
init of careful study and comparison.
The arrangement of the mammoth men
agerie pavilion itself carries out the
idea of huge travelling Zoo In the
centre area are the led animals includ-
ing the most superb display of big and
little elephants ever seen in this or any
other country This great triple herd
pachyderms embraces twenty-five mag
nifcent specimens of the African and
Asiatic elephant, all of which have been
carefully trained to preform many mar
velous feats in which the accuracy and
memory of these animal performers are
put to a successful test. On one side of
the great ellipse is the ayiary. This is
a notable departure in geological dis
plays 1t is not merely a conventional
display of the most familiar tropical
birds, but complete exposition of or
anthology, in which almost every bird,
from the hunlming- bird and macaw to
the huge stork and ostrich, is shown in
its proper family group The bright
plumage of the tropical birds elicits
endless expressions of admiration, while
the entire pavilion is filled with the
melody of these feathered songsters
probably no exhibition ever given in
America has ever proved a greater at
traction to the ladies and Children
among the patrons of this great show.
The aquarium, which is also a new and
novel feature, is notable for its remark
able collection of hippopotami, sea lions
seals, Polar bears and other water fre-
duenting animals and the huge tanks
in which they are displayed are arrapg
ed in such way, and with such char
acteristic environments, that 1t is easy
to realize the conditions under which
these strange animals exist in their na
tive state. The children's menagerie
has been augmented this year by a huge
monkey den, fitted up as play ground
with a carrOussel in the center, upon
which the simians ride.and galubol with
delight to themselves and unlimited
amusement to those who witness the
almost human anticts. Interest in the
coming of this famous show to Butler
May Is is universal, and no small part
of this interest has been aroused by the
encomiums that haye been fairly show
cred npon its unique geological display.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.

Last week Judge Criswell of Venan-
90 Co. decided that the bridge across
the Allegheny river at Emlenton should
be free There We're only three wit
nasses examined, when ii was decided
to leave the matter to a vote of the
jurymen. The vote showed that all but
two of them were in favor of making
the bridge free. and the court 50 decid-
ell. The grand jury of Venango Co.
has condemned the present Jail, and
recommended the erection of Il new
structure
The Clinton country commissioners
have appointed two men to serve as fire
detectives. Their. duties Will be to fer
ret out all persons who wilfully or mali
ciously set fire to the woods in that
county.
Mercer county has established a Gus
tom in regard to its jail prisoners which
should be adopted by every county in
the State The commissioners have
erected a large building in the court
yard ard each prisoner is compelled TO
break 50 much limestone each day and
those vino refuse to work receive no
food.
\ day or two ago some gentlemen
from the country called 1T the confec-
tionery and bakery of William c. Rob
inson. in New Castle, and displayed
mammoth egg which the man said had
been laid by one Of his common barn
yard hens. The egg was a very large
one, in fact. it weighed exactly as much
as three ordinary chicken eggs. Mr..
Robinson at once bought the egg and
displayed it with card giving the
weight, size, etc, of the alleged curios-
ity. y great many people stopped to look
at it. and now the general verdict is
that the egg was laid by the wife Of
we'll known gander that resides and
does business in Shenango township
At any rate jury composed of II rep
utable poultry fanciers have set" upon
that chicken egg and have brought
forth a goose egg. Guardian

PARK THEATRE.
FAUsT-FRIDAY, MAY 6.

The rendition of the thrilling drama,
Faust" by the Hubert Labadie com
pany at the Spencer opera house last
evening was very interesting affair,
and particularly so TO those who admire
this pecuiiarlar kind of play. The
parts were all handled very CAREFUL in
deed and with the elaborate special
scenery and stage fixtures which the
company carries, the effect was partic-
ularly attractive and pleasing. Mr..
Hubert Labadie assumed the part of
His Satanic Majesty, Mephistopheles,
in an admirable manner and fully sus-
tanned the high reputation he enjoys as
an actor of great merit. He possesses
peculiar and special qualifications for
the part, in fact he seemed entirely a
home or quite at east in the character
Mrs Labadie, however carried off the
honors of the piece in the part of Mar
guerite. Her queenly presence, smooth
rich voice and accurate articulation,
together with her correct interpreta-
ton or conception of the character did
much in establishing her in popular fa-
vor.
She is a lady of much dramatic abil-
ity. culture and refinement The Com
pany entire is made mp of educated and
refined people and entitled TO the conf
dence Of theaterg going people. They
made many friends while here. Daily
