and regular. Owing to repairs that are
necessary to the furnace, a temporary
shutdown Of few days will have to be
takeE next week.
! Among the street attractions in our
town last Friday and Saturday were two
negroes. One was a tirSt-class acrobat

hand being gone, beating the strings OF
his instrument with a little baton, and

a harmonica, or mouth harp. Several
free exhibitions Were given Friday and

collections were taken NJ. If the crowds
that were present gave as much as a
nickel or dime apiece, they must have
done well.
