love to tee clrcnses. .The Zoological ex

hach as this company possesses nothing

to visit such places but we have noticed
that many people who so counted are quite
s muon delighted at tbe street parade as

advice is, go and see the circus if you want
to and let your children do likewise. Yon

A horse belonging tu Mr. Eugene Ferris,

the borae thieving gentry will be appre
hended and prompt justice administered.

It will be seen by reference to our adver
tising columns that Mr. Pratber offers a re
ward of $125 for tbe recovery ofhishormi
and the arceat of tbe thief. I. 1b tiucerely
to hoped tbe scoundrel will be cuugbt
and made to suffer lor bis rascality. The
borse is highly prized by Mr. Praluof.

Thompson's well No. 2, McCray farm,
wbish destroyed tbo engine bouso and der
rick, and severely burned tbe ongineor and
driller, Mr. Robt. Henry and Mr. Peter
Ke an. The fire caught under the follow
ing eircumstances: Tbe tools were in the
third sand-rock about 7 feet when a, vein of
gas was struck which rose with powerful
force to surface and running back into the
engine bouse, caught Are from the tool
dresser's forgo and exploded, witb the above
result. Fortunately for tbe men tbey were
in tbe engine house at tbe time. Had they
been in tbe derrick undoubtedly tbey would
have been burned to death. As it waa Ee
oun was badly burned about tbe bead and
face, and Henry severely burned on tbe
bands and arms. Tbe loss Is not very
heavy, and the well will soon be la opera
