There are few persons in this com muuity who will not be glad to know that the Adam Forepangh and Sells Brothers Enormous Shows are coining here with all the great features with which they so starth'd New York and other Eastern cities at the beginning of this season. It has been the cn«tom of so many shows to exhibit In some large city and then travel on the reputation msde in such city by giving a pro gramme far in advance of the one they exhibit while traveling through the country. Whatever else may be said about the Forepangh Hells Show there is a certainty that when they sav any thing the utmost reliance may lie placed upon their statement. They pledge themselves to repeat 'the same lierformancc here, complete in every detail with all the great star and champion performers and new and exclusive features, which they gave in the metropolis. If this programme does not satiry everybody who sees it they must be harder to please than are those who live in the metropolis whure only the biggest and Is-st of everything is permitted. It is for that reason that th'-se are the only circuses, menageries and hippodromes that are permitted to exhibit In New York. Philadelphia, Brooklyn and other eastern cities. They will exhibit here on Haturday, Aug. '<s. The liaitliiiorc At Ohio Kullroaii ami the Civil War, IHOI-IHO/;.

The !J A- <). was the bane of operation* for the Federal army for nearly four years and from which the government could not take advance line earlier than November lhfit. The Is. <fc O, wa* the mean* of communication between the West and this Army of the Potomac and was consequently in a contlnua, ntate of siege. Harper's Ferry, the key to the Khenandoah Valley first famed through the faiiatcial attempt of John Brown, in defying the law* and custom* of his country, was captured or recap tnrud eight times in three year*.
