asked them if they had been to the circus. " Yes," replied the old lady, "and he (meaning the old man) got cheated out of "ten dollars." "No I didn't" says the old fellow, "I just bet;" It seems he had been swindled by a circus shark, but was unwilling to acknowledged that he lost the money in any other way than by a fair bet. Our Chinese reporter was sent out to interview Lee Yum, the imperial prince of the washboard, whom a circus faker, fleeced out of a $20 bill, last week, through the "flimflam" racket. As we have, at present, no Chinese type we cannot print the interview verbatum, but the substance .was that Lee Yum expressed himself in a most vehement manner that ttte "shlow man dlam fiaud; but me makee money back oif melioan in Wo week by washee." .... , Notwithstanding last Saturday was a wild, blustery day, the large crowd in town caused a stranger to ask the Counn:it if it was show day. He was told that it was a very ordinary crowd for Saturday, and that the people in town, were those who had been reading the advertisements in the Cockier and had come in from this and adjoining counties to patronize our live and enterprising merchants.. The stranger said he had heard that there was a big trade done in this town.
