Business Announcements.

Sometimes advertisements are funny enough to deserve gratuitous circulation. The following are from England, but they will be appreciated by readers in this country: Two menageries recently arrived in a border town, one of which was under the management of Signor -——, and the other under that of his wife, travelling respectively on their own account. Here they decided to unite forces, and the fact -was intimated on the bill thus: “Owing to the arrival of my wife, my collection of ferocious wild animals Is considerably augment.” This was the work of a foreigner. It is thought to have been fairly outdone by a native who hung out the following from a traveling exhibition of waxwork:

“The public is invited to see Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, In waxwork, as large as life, and other curiosities.”
