Besides the grand spectacle of Columbus and the discovery of America, which alone requires 1,200 people, there are three full and complete circus companies, whose varied performances in three rings, on the backs of horses, on the ground, and in mid-air, are a revelation. The circus department comprises every difficult equestrian act, aerial feat, arenic display, athletic and acrobatic trail, hippodrome race, animal trick, and mad-cap caper of clown and actor, tumbling and leaping and in fact, everything of a remarkable kind in the way of meritorious feature or attraction. To all of which is added two menageries, a museum, horse fair, gallery of supernatural illusions, two herds of elephants, two droves of camels, ponies, led animals and other wonders. The horses alone are valued at $140,000. Then there are strange animal freaks, giant and pigmy creatures, odd and curious beasts and birds, a big black orang(?), a blue-nosed mandril and a myriad others. It is a veritable world's fair brought to your very door. ++ Bergen.--George WARREN, who removed from this village to Rochester in March, 1888, died last Sunday, aged 61 years.
