The Kcoagerta

Well, (tie Meatgvrie c*m« duly to hand on Monday last, and with it, on* of tbe Urged crowd* of tb« sovereign* that Terrell aute «rer witnessed. Rately, indeed, baa our city- contained a more motley throng of men, women, children and ••niggers," all bleeding with anxiety, to see the great animal show. The day was exceedingly warm and sultry, the $fcy hardly dimmed by a passing cloud. Hardly had the sun risen before the streets, stores and shops were filled by the anxious "Johnathans and 8u*annahs," seeing the sights. purchasing goods, or parading the streets, with linked hands, in the wake of various couplet of Giptey vagabond women, who "discoursed sweet music," to the gaping crowd.'

In the afternoon, the scuffle for tickets commenced with an energy truly appalling I or a warm day. Soon, however, although •hot as Erebus,' the va«t tent of the Menagerie was crowded to overflowing, in every part, there being, variously estimated, from three to five thousand persons in (he canvas, 'luring the afternoon.

The wild animals in th» csges, were duly gszod upon, wondered at, and criticised.—Then the performances began. The monster Elephant Hannibal, was led among the admiring crowd, wilh an interesting bevy of Mis'es, upon his back. The monkey exhibited his agility upon the pony, and the daring Mr. Van Amburgh, %hose portrait, had graced every CoflVe House in the place for the past mouth, then entered the dens of his trained animals, stirred up the Tigers, put his head in the Lion's mouth, and performed many other courageous feats, which were visible to at least one tenth of the dense audience. When the menagerie closed, and one or two babies at the breast, were auflocated to death, by the intense heat, the bide show conaisting of Negro singing, slock wiro dancing, &o, commenced operation, irnd were as prolific of delight and heat as the principal one had been. The performances in the evening were a repetition of those in the afternoon, minus the baby killing, and a great portion of tho sovereigns who had been gratified with the sight of the "Elephant," and were satUfied.

It is estimated that this establiahment, with iia various accompaniments, carried a*vay from our community, not lea* than fifteen hundred, or perhaps two thousand dollars. Whether tho same amount of money oould not have been lavished upon a more praisworthy ol'joot. we shall not, at present assumo tho province of determining.

JwUbe to Public Men. "Well done good and faithful eervant." the greeting-we all hope for, when Kfe'k fitful fever is over, and we awaken is the apirit Land. Even upon earth, it is a gratifice* tioc to feel that we are entitled to the com* mendation of our fellow men. Love of approbation, the respect and good will of our fellow*, a'e strong icoentive* to a correct course of conduct in private life tbe came i* true, even to a greater extent, in public !Ue. The Representative who feels that his action* are observed by as intelligent oon stitoency, wiB he more Kkfijrto do hi* duty, than one who kftowa that they are indiferem, and from whom be expects neither praise nor censure. It is the duty of all men to take as interest in such matters more especially it the duty of the Local Press, and »ith a realizing sense of that dmy, we feel called upon to aay a few words repecting our Representative* to the Congress which closed its labors the Sd of March last. Who has forgotten the short, sharp, severe Congressional contest of 1851? McGaughey was at tbe xenitb ot his popularity he was a cunning lawyer, an able debater, and a shrewd politician be had the prestige of past success, and a Whg DistrictI That was certainly a man of soma nerve, to enter the lists against him, under such circumstan ces. Mc. knew that very well, and from the day that Davis entered the field, be could see the hand writing upon the wall, and knew that his politicsl days were numbered. However, he determined to taake a last fi nal effort he was too old apolitical gladiator to give up the conteat without a struggle: he done all that man could do, but it was of no avail the Democracy, with a leader worthy of them, are always invincible. Mr. Dsvis was elected. It was his first trial upon the stump, his first oontest outside the limits of his own oounty true, he bad always been successful there, his own people bad never failed to sustain him through all the varying phases of parties and politics, his own county had borne him aloft triumphantly the District done the same, and well did he repay the obligation conferred upon him, faithfully and honorably has he discharged every duty, He was emphatically a working member the Journals can show butone instance where he failed tovote, except a few days when he was confined to bis room by sickness. He never failed to attend a committee. He attended to every case of private business entrusted to him, and secured by his own personal research, some sixty land warrants for old soldiers who had given up all hope ef obtaining their just bounty. Mr. Davis gave particular attention to the establishment of new Post Routes and new Post Offices, for the accommodation of the people of the District. Upon all the cardinal points of Democracy, he has ever been true as the Needle to the Pole, and by his firm and consistent, but always respectful oourse, secured the approbation of hi* party, and the general good will of his opponents. No man stood fairer in Congress than Mr. Davis, and few men have before them prospects of greater or more continued usefulness. He has the confidence ol Administration, and in all matter* just and proper, his recommendation has deserved influence. He was re-ejected last year to the ne&t Congress, over C. W. Barbour, one of the ablest lawyers, and one of the best men in the State, by a very large majority. We shall look forward to his future csreer with interest, and ahall keep our readers advised from lime to time.

IHDMKA CKMTRAL RAIUWA*.—The Richmond Palladium says "that several miles of the track of this road have been laid west of Greenafjrk 111 Wayne county, and in a few day* the locomotive, which has been a1 Cambridge for some lime will be placet! upon it. The Irack layer* are at work at several point* on the road, and in a very short time the entire line from Greensfork to Indianajllia will be completed. The deep cut, heavy fills, near CeUreville are being made with all possible dispatch."

The New York and New Haven Railroad Company have settled with one of the passengers by the late cataatrophc at Nor walk. Mary Jane Williams, the Irish woman, on hei wa to Cabotville, who went down in ihe broken oar and lost her gold amounting to $250, had the same restored to her by the company at New Haven, before it was found, and five hundred in addition, far which she gave a receipt in full for all dam. •g«*.

It will be seen, by an advertisement is an* other column, that the Juvenile Vocal Mu*ical Class under the charge of Mr. A. C. Isaacs, give at the close of their second Term, a concert at the Universaltst Church, oa next Tuesday eveaingw Those who heard the same class sing, at tbe

Town

CixcutHATi WATER Ccax —Attention is directed to tbe advertisement of this establishment, which may be found in another column of to-days Courier, we have seen the place, and can *ay from personal obser vat ion, that it is fully equal to what ia claimed for it. The houee is a large and elegant three-story brick, with well arranged, well ventilated, healthy furnished, and in every respect desirable and comfortable rooms.— Thero is abundant supply of pure and sparkling water and the air is pleasant and healthy. Dr Pease and bis lady enjoy a high reputation for skill, and their whole time i* devoted to the care of their establishment, it is quite accessible, being reached in a pleasant ride of twenty miles by railroad and its position and numerous advantages, must make it a popular place for those seeking restoration of health.—Lou.

THE MECHANICS MUTUAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION, of Cincinnati, has proved to be a most consummate swindle and humbug. Every body who had a hand in that pie has been most villainously swindled. Cincinnati is a great city for humbugs,—the immortal •Cincinnati Art Union' having also proved a most veritable humbug, as also many other operations emanating from the "Queen City."

An Item Lost.

MB. VAN AMBtmaH, the great Lion tamer, among his other performances put his head into the Lion's mouth. Would'nt it have bejn a good item for the "Journal", if the head had been bitten off.

AIN'T IT STRANGEthat there are many men in ihi* oommunity, and, in fact, In every community, who will spend money freely for seeing Menageries, Circuses and Nigger Shows, time after time, when aaked to subscribe toward maintaining schools, improving roads, taking newspapers, or performing some act of benevolence, will most piteously plead poverty as a sufficient excuse for not doing so. Any such an individual should be ashamed to do so. Should'nt he?

0£r Several cases, principally for petty misdemeanors, assaults and batteries, rowdyism, &o., have been tried in the Mayor's Court during the past week.

The President has pardoned John Riohards, the boy conviotcd of robbing the mail between Gosport and Bloomington.

HOT WEATHER, with its usual compliment ot du»t and musquitoes, has been down upon us, in good earnest, for the past week. The thermometer has ranged from 75 to 95 degrees in the shade.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.—Tbe New Orleans Picayune of the 4th says that a Mr. Petio has for several days been engaged in making extensive preparations for an experiment wilh his aerial abip intending to make an ascension on the 5th. It consists in two immense balloons and along slender fabrio called the ahip, to whioh the balloons are to be attached. In the abip ts placed at one end a steam engine, with a large propeller screw at the other.

Tbe Richmond Despatch says: "In relating the story of a killing of a cow on the Danville roil road, a few days ainoe, and the oomiitg forth from her mangled rem 1 ins of a live calf, that was, at laat accounts, doing well, we remarked that if there ever bad been an occurrence of the kind before we bad never heard of iu The paper bad hardly appeared before we were informed of two other oases—otte that occurred on the oeotarl mad, and the other on the Richmond and Fredericksburg road.

QUEBEC,

June 1.

Tbe number of persons wounded by the military on Thursday is 50: If are lulled or mortally wounded. It is reported that eight of the rioter* were killed is addition-names unknown. An immense meeting ot tbe cit ixess waa held asd resolatioos were passed requesting Gavazzi to continue his course of lectures, and censuring the mayor for inefficiency.

There is the most Intense excitement.— Several cases of outrage on Roman Cath ofica have occurred. Gavazzi left this morning for New York. Msyor Denies did not order the soldiers to fire asd it i« not known who did. The streets last night was patrolled by tbe flying artillery. ,r

THE LICENCE VOTE IN WASHINGTON.—At tbe municipal election in Washington city, on Monday the 6th inst., a vote was taken upon the question of licence or no license of shops taverns snd refectories, with the following result: License, 991 No License, 1,963. Majority against License, 972.— This looks like the people of Washington were disposed to stop tbe liquor traffic in their midst. But Congress has something to ssy in the matter, and tbe membera of that body will probably decide that the wheels of legislation would probably move slowly without tbe oil of brandy.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.—A temperance paper in New Orleans says that "Wolfe's Scheidanis schnapps," is nothing but common gin: but the editor of the N. Y. Day Book, who professes to use the schnapps, say* it is "first rate gin." We suppose, theiefore, that we may safely oall it gin: and to know the real name of anything, whether it is good or bad is to gain a great point.

The London News frankly admits that England is fairly beaten at every point where Americans have attempted to rival her. It attributes the fact to the better education of of our people. The News remarks:

We are menaced in our manufactures, in our trade, and in our maratime supremacy. As a means of rising superior to these dangers, none can be more effectual than a sound practical education to the mercantile and maratime classes of our oommunity.

The Washington correspondent of the N. York Times writes that President Pieroe disavows and repudiates, in the strongest terms, the sentiments contained in the Union's laudation of Russia, and that he is deeply mortified that he should be supposed to endorse them.

No MORE BACHELOR'S REVERIES.—The papers of Charleston, S. C., announce the marriage of Donald G. Mitchell, of Connecticut, ('Ike Marvel/) the author of Reveries of a Bachelor, and other popular productions, to Miss Mary F., daughter of William Pi ingle of Chrrleston. Mr. Mitchell was a few day since appointed Consul to Venice by President Pierce.

Two summers ago a gang of Gipsies arrived from England and settled at lloboken. N. Y. They have since removed from there and the following from a New York paper givea some account of their opperations:

The Gipsies have settled or squatted near tbe town of Tully, some eighteen miles west of Syracuse, in this State, and are creating quite an excitement, we see. A man named Garret Tully (from whom the town is named) a few days since lost an aocount book, in whiob records involving some 9400 were kept. Thereupon, Betsy Cooper, the queen of the troupe, spplied to bim with the request to tell his fortune. Anticipating the result that would follow, he told her that he did not wish his fortune told, but, if she would tell bim bow to recover his lost book, he would pay ber 95 therefor. She replied that it could easily be done—only she must get together a certain amount of money order to produoe the charm. He accordingly placed in her handa 9300 in specie, all he had at command but upon consulting the oracle—an old astrological book of 1668 —she found it was not sufficient for the purpose of the incantation. Mr. Tully refused to trust her with more—whereupon she returned to ber gang and procured 985, which sbe added to the pile. Strange to relate ibis would not satisfy the spirits, and after much persuasioo, Mr. T. was induced to borrow another 9100, whioh Betsy pronounced adequate. The money was wrapped up and formed a good sized parcel, which Mr. T. still retained. Betsy then demanded that her reward of 95 to be edded to it, which waa done. Sbe then asked tor a lock of hair from the beads of Mr. T., his wife, and child —then for a paper of aalt from each—and then directed them to place tbe money in ber band, and turn their backs while ehe repeated the mystio words of tbe leather oracle. They did so, and Betsey, takiog advantage of their situation, contrived to substitute a particle, as near like tbe original as possible, containing a rare show of pebbles and pewter, is place of tbe one containing tbe 9485—tbe latter whioh sbe smuggled under a blanket. Sbe then gave tbe paroel tbe kw jb one as be supposed, into Mr. T.'s charge, saying that it must rentals asopen for four weeks, at whiob time sbe would return and tbe lost book be restored. She then took her departure, as sbe said, for New York. Tbe result can be easily immagioed. Mr. Tully discovered at bat that be bad bees doped. Tbe Gipsies were paraded, asd die queen Betsy asd ber royal consort were arrested. Sooe of the property found os Betsey waa identified by Mr. S-uith.

The Eastern Money Market stiR continues easy, with a full supply and active demand, at 6 to 7 per cent, for prime endorsed paper, on short time, unendorsed from 7 to 9 per cent. The Banks are discounting freely for their customers. Foreign Exchanges has been active at from 109} to .110 the Market closing at the latter rate for leading drawers. In consequence of this advance in Exchange, further shipments ot gold, to the amount of some 9600,000, have been made.

Tbe Stock market has presented a rather dull appearance, especislly among the fancy Stocks. The New York Central Railroad Consolidated Stook rates at 135, a alight decline from 139£. Government Stocks tecnais firm, with but slight sales. The Revenue receipts are very heavy the amount now subject to tbe order of the U. S. Treasurer, is upwards of 920,000,000. The estimated revenues of the Government for 1853, will amount to 960,030,003,

Land Warrants, are in demand at advanced pricee. At the West, the money Markets presents a quiet appearanoee though the demand is steady and full equal to aupply. The Banks are discounting for their customer* to the extent of their means. Street rstes from 6 to 12 per osnt. Eastern Exchange we quote at our former rates, though the blances at the East in favor of the West are increasing.—We see that Exchange in St. Louis upon tbe East, has been quoted at par. We also learn that one of our City Banks has been drawing for its customers only, at half per oent.

In stocks we note but slight activity, and that only in the better class, it which we quote a partial advance. Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dnyton Company Stock is in demand at from 109, to 1S1 quite an advance, probably well_ sustained, as the road must increase.

Real Estate seems just now to be a favorite investment with capitalists, and is consequently quite active, especially for city lots.—Railroad Record.

A MONSTER HOG.—The Milwaukee Sentinel says "A monster hog, weighing eleven hundred and nine pounds, was lately shipped on the steamer Arctic, on his way to the World's Fair at New York. He was purchased by Messrs. R. Bug and R. Stewart, of Niagara Co., N. Y., for 9200, from Mr. Hollister B. Thayer, of Troy, Walworth county. Wis. His actual measurement was as follows: •'Girth behind the shoulders, 6 feet 7 innches extreme length, 9 feet 11 inches height lo top of the back, 3 feet 10 inches. He is perfectly white, and only twenty months old. The hind wheels of ihe wagon off, when ihe animal walked off on his own accord on board the boat, and laid down on deck contented.—The owners are confident pounds, one of the specimens Wisconsin sends to the World's Fair it will be hard to beat."

An amu$ing incident occu red at the afternoon session of the Woman's Rights Convention at Ravenna, O., on the 15th ult.

Mrs. Robinson commenced reading the annual report, when she was interrupted by a "gentleman of the old school,*' in the back ground, suggested that the masculines in the audience who were comfortably seated were standing up lagged and exhausted in the fear of the rootn. To this, Rev. Antoinette Brown gallantly demurred, saying that as the ladies claimed equal rights wilh '.he gentlemen they could not, in courtesy demand, nor did they wish to, more than equal piivileges.—(Laughter.) Says the Whig: The hint was acted upon, the gentlemen keeping their seats, and the ladies remained standing, while the kind hearted soul whose gallantry led him to propose such an absurdity turned away mortified, and no doubt, thinking he was not "up to snuff." after all.

Something New*

Tho last novelty in the way t»f buisnes. is the offer of aNew York hatter, to give each purchaser a Dagureotype of himself neatly inserted in the crown of his new head gear, there to remain till the hat itself wears out They propose to sell these Daguerrolype Hats just as cheap as hsts are or can be sold, calculating that the moderate expense of the pictures will be made up to them by the increase of their sales.

The New York Tribune thus balances the advantages and the disadvantages of the new idea: "In coming out from a crowded dinner party, and undertaking to pick out his hat from a pile of two or three hundred, half a dozen of them by the same maker, the owner of the daguerreotype attachment would have adecided advantags.and in fact could hardly blunder unless be had gone beyond the second bottle. Then a partly rejected lover blessed with some unexpected opportunity to communicate with the jeslously guarded maiden, might cut tbe portrait out ot his hat and send it in lieu of tbe letter he bad neither time nor means for writing. But suppose be should be most unseasonably detected is a clandestine visit to his adored, and constrained lo beat a precipitate retreat, leaving bis bat to bis pursuers, piotore and aU—that would not be so pleasant for the lady. Wearing one's heart upon bis sleeve is proverbially doubtful policy—and there is much to be ssid both ways as to wearing one's portrait in hia hat. ^hat is the next novelty."

Editor of ihe Scntinel:-l would respectfully ask your leave to correct a mistake into which you have fallen in reference to a meeting of the General Assembly lately convened at Buffalo.

Some of the papers seem disposed to give currency to the idea that most of the time of the Assembly was taken up in discussing the subject of slavery. Tnis is a mistake. Some memorials on the subject of slavery were addressd to the Assembly—all of them respectful and kind- These referred to the Committee who pttwented a a report. This report was discussed parts of three days— considerable other business being disposed of during these same days. A large psrt of this time, too was occupied by Southern men. I listened attentively to the debate, end 1 beard threats of secession from but two men, and both were from the South. There was not a revolutionizing spirit in the Assembly: but on tbe contrary, a kind and conciliatory feeling. Men never parted feeling more kindly to each other.

I regret that you should be misled by newspaper reports as to the marriage ques* lion. No General Assembly, I trust will ever endorse the abominable dootrtne that a man may marry his niece. The facts in the case are these: The question came up in an overture whether a man might marry his niece. The committee lo whom it was referred reported in subatanoe, thai the Bible does not expressly forbid such relationship but that such relationships are inexpedient. This report was entered on the docket, to come up for consideration in ils proper place. Before the report waa taken up, a Buffalo paper puplished that the General Assembly had declared that a church member might marry his niece and thus (he dander got into circulation. The editor of the paper promptly retracted hi* oharge against the Assembly when the state of the case was explained lo him but hi* so doing did not stop the spread of the unfortunate charge. When in the order of busi ness the question came up, the Assembly promtly declared that all such unions are incestuous, and forbiden.

Believing that you would not willingly injure a large and respeotable denomination of Christians, I ask you to insert the above correction. GEO. M. MAXWELL.

The execution of Arthur Spring took plaoe a quarter after 11 o'clock this morning, at the county prison, in presence of about 590 persons. Rev. Messrs. Street, Keniil, and Alexander remained in the cell all night Spring slept abovt four hours, and spent the rest of ihe night in religious exercises. Early this morning, a letter from Governor Bigler wa« received and read to the prisoner, slating that executive clemency would not be exercised in his case.

Spring reasserted his innocence and also the innocenoe of his son, but he had brought money and placed It in his pocket. On reaching tho gsllowj a hymn was sung, after which Itev. Mr. Street osk?d the prisoner most s4emrily, whether he was Kuilty of the murder? He answered "no sir!" "no sir!"

Rev. Mr. S. asked if lie was guilty of the murder of Rink to whioh he replied. ••No. sir 1 never saw him in my life The third question was in regard to the innocence of his son, to which he answered. "I believe I-Q had nothing more to do with it than I had." Prayer was then offered by Rev Mr. Kensil, alter which the rope was sjusted, and Spring ngiin asserted the innocence of his son, without an) qualifications. The drop fell soon after.

"If your husband looks grave let alone don(t disturb, or annoy him." Oh, Pshaw! when I'm married, the soberer my looked the more fun I'd rattle about his ears. "Don't distuib him!*' I guesiso! I'd salt his coffee and pppper his lea—and sugar his beef steak—and tread on his toes* —and hide his newspaper—and put pins in his slippers—and dip his cigsrs in water —and I would not stop for the Great Mogul till I had shortened his face to my liking. Certainly he would 'get vexed,' there would be no fun in leasing and thil would give his melancholy blood a good healthful atari and his eyes would snap snd sparkle, and he'd say, 'Fanny will you be quiet or not?' and I should laugh and pull hi* whiskers, and say decidedly, 'Not!' and then I should tell him he hadn't the slightest idea how handsome he looked when he was vexed, and then he would pretend not to hear the compliment—but would pull up his dickey and lake sly peep into ihe glass, (for all that!) agd then would begin to grow amiable all the rest of the day. at if he wasn't my husband, and all because I did not follow that stupid bit of advice 'to let him alone.'
