Thin City on thcHantft I'lauc With
New York.
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/;.
It wa* the fir*t and moat desirable
point of vantage coveted by both the
Federal and Confederate armies. In
May, 1801, the four Federal advance
column* concentrated at Parkersbnrg,
W. Va., Wheeling. W. Va., Harper's
Ferry, W. Va., and at Washington. To
retain the Advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
to the Ohio river, besides forts at Win
cheater, Harper's Ferry, Cumberland,
Piedmont and New Creek (Keyaer).
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*. The
government Arsenal and armories
which were located there, were de
stroyed by the government to prevent
their capture. One hundred and
seventy-nine battles of greater or lens
Importance were fought on or adjacent
to the Baltimore & Onio Kallroad, not]
taking into consideration the innnmer-,
able skirmishes.
