In conjunction with the East Indiau Perahera, presented as a feature with the; Carl llageiibeck Greater Shows, which exhibit in Butler, Tuesday, May Mth, a coterie of Hindoo jugglers, so classed, are presented.

They will make a serpent disappear; a tree grow and bring forth fruit, or water (low from an apparently empty vase. Others will swallow a sabre or play tricks with sharp knives FucU baa his ► pecial accomplishments. They are con jurers, acrobats and exhibitors of wonderful leats of strength. They form a subtle and crafty tribe aud iu their own county are feared by the common pontile. The top trick is one of their curious feats. A vigorous impulse is given a top which is placed on tlie end of a small stick and balanced on the juggler's nose. Then, according to the reijuest of the spectator,the top sudden ly stops or again resumes its spinning Au examination of both the top and stick will reveal no mechanical eon trivance. Another astonishing feat consists iu receiving on the shoulders a ball of stone of great weight dropped from a very considerable height, with out the juggler appearing iu the least hurt. Other remarkable performers utilize high masts or bamboo poles up on the top of which they preform num erous tricks with swords, kuiyes, etc. They put themselves Into the niost astonishing contortions anil perform eij'.iilibristlc feats displaying wonderons skill while perched on their bunding and swaying poles.
