The collection of wild beasts is advertised as very large and rare, and the doors will be open an hour and. a-half be fore the circus performance; to allow those who do not desire to witness it ample opportunity to examine fully the animal specimens . exhibited. Among the collection are elephants, lions, ti gers, leopards, =lima, panthers, hyenas, bears, elk, lamas, etc., besides birds of beautiful plu mage, and reptiles without number; the whole affording the naturalist a chance to pursue hii favorite study that comes not often in a life time. Children will take delight in beholding what they have read of with wonder. Schools will have an opportunity of visiting and seeing and discussing in company. Tho equipage and paraphernalia of'this concern is iMmenso and gorgeous, and .credit is certainly 4ao to the proprietor, in that he advertises so liberally and extensively. He-appreciates the advantages of first-class advertising, and, with many others like him, is reaping the reward of shrewdness and sagacity in this matter. The circus company embraces many star per formers, who will give a first-class entertain ment to those fond of such-amusement. The parade in the streets on the , morning of exhibition la represented as magnitlcent,: the procedsion containing twenty massive cages handsoMely decorated, headed by a fine band of music in a "car of gold." But wo have not space to extend this notice.. Everybody may see for theinselves on Tifiirs day, October 14. We are informed that this establishment will give two entertainments in a tow days, fin the _benefit of the Avondale sufferers. This is cer tainly a most praiseworthy object, and evinces a commendable spirit of sympthy-for suffering humanity on the part of the inanagement.

And there is morn or less excitement manifest as the day draws near, and it's ail right ; for in my humble opinion wo• have the privilege of dis cussing the merits and demerits of the several candidates placed in nomination for our suf frages, yet we should not let personal feelings or prejudice overrule principle. But when we find men aro put in nomination—men of princi ple aid worth—we should support them, as readily as we would if they wore of our ownper sonal selection. Wo have hers some good Re publicans, who are staunch party men, that are willing to lot the majority rule, and wiilaiipport the ticket as selected by the people. But I am sorry to say we also have some Weak, vacillating ones, that really are unable •to see how good candidates can be placed in' the field without their being personally consulted; and if there happens to be a candidate on the ticket who, in their judgment, has held office a little too long, or has done what they in their far seeing discernment perhaps would not have done, they at once bolt, and say they will not vote for him—"no, not we; we will vote for the democratic candidates instead." Now such men are a detriment to the party, and the sooner they get out the better; for you never know where to find them unless they want office (sod they are ever wanting it), and then they arostrict party men, of course. Still, notwithstanding thew Jndasos, wo aspect to give our usual majority for OELTLY. The Union Sabbath-school of this place, which has been conducted for several lears past by the several churches, with seeming harmony and a good degree of success, has recently, we understand, boon divided.

Rimrt if3' In common with the public generally, wo are much pleased at the wonder ful success of the National Life Insurance Com pany, of the United States of America. It has issued 7,070 policies in the very first year of its operations. When the days and month' of pre paratory labor are considered, this number may be taken as a pledge of not Ices than ten or twelve thousand for the second year. The Company asked and received the unquali fied endorsement of the public in the very first year of its organization; nor are we in the lout surprised at this, for the plan of the Company meets a popular mint. Heretofore, if a poor man wanted to got his life insured for the bene fit of his family, ho must needs go into the busi ness of insuring others ; ho must for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and assign., become an a9ociato member of a mutual com pany, with all the liabilities thereto attaching, but, with no expectation of knowing even when and where there would bo a single scooting of. the Company. There was no propriety in this, mai more than there would be on the part of a clothing dealer, who should requiro every customer to go into co-partnotship with him before ho would sell him a pair of pantaloons. If all Clothiers should require this, the public would have to submit to the occ-parhaership for a season, but when ever dealers established themselves who did riot impose such obligations, with reference alike to their put business and their future..they would certainly secure the patronage of the public. The Pao* have had - their- botoclive Unions and Mutual Ere Insurance Companies; these are not so popular as they once were. .Indeed have almost all passed away. 'We predict for the .
