The Circa.
The Nickel Plate Circa gave twj exhi"
bitiens in tbis city on Monday last. In
the evening there was a full house, and
as that was the tim- we attended we can
only speak of then. For a crcus exhibi
tion in Oregon, where expenses are so
great, the one given was good .and ssveral
of the parts were superior. The feats of
Daisy Belmout on the rolling ball, and as
well her riding on a bare back horse, the
daring trapsze performance of Mr and
Mrs Bel men t, the contortions of the Healy
Brothers, the ladder performpce by the
three Irwin Brothers as well their cross
bar act, the cannou ball performance,
the riding of a bicycle en a tight wire
without counterbalance, were all rirt
class, while the donkey and the poney,
and Senator, added sauce to the affair ;
and the two lions, the tiger and the ele
phant were of great interest te these who
had never seen such animals. The whole
made up a good oircui entertainment, one
deserving of patronage. We were struck
by the gentlemanly, quiet tuanser in
which everything west offend this speaks
with that class of people who think all
circuses are terrible affairs anyway,

Breen, not as two common fellowsrs,
but as two performer, operators in
somersets and trapeze acts, double acts
and single acts. This is an important
step far two young men to take, but no

DIED
HARRIS In Albany, Or., May Uth, 1884.
of consumption, Ella, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. J. W. Harris, aged 23 years, 8
months.
We chronicle with sadness the end of a
pare, noble, womanly life. Ella Harris pos
sessed those Christian qualities which shone
in her daily life as well as in her professiens.
It is easy to flatter, but to those who knew
her theee words ouly begin to do her justice.
Lovable, she was loved by all ; virtuous, she
was respected ; womanly, she was admired
for the Qualities which made her so. There
sre women who have obtained the smiles of
ths world on account of dramatio or literary
talents ; but above this is the pure, true
woman, whose every influence is for good.
Such an one was the deoeaaed.
Miss Harris had been failing for several
years ; but not until about nve montas ago
was she confined to her bed. and since then
her lite gradually went out as the sand in
the hour glass runs down, until on v Wednes
day morning, when her spirit took its flight.
Her parents have the universal sympathy of
tbe whole community in this sad afflicUon.)
