The Peak Family are now on their fifteenth annual tour, and seem to have tall times among the prairies out West. They finished up a good week’s business at Quincy, Ill., on the 30^th July, and made Mons. Jean Alfred Fays, their solo violinist, a present of a splendid diamond ring as a token of their esteem.  They were at Peoria on the 4^th and 5^th, Bloomington 6^th and 8^th, Atlanta 9^th, and Elkhart 10^th.  They next visit Springfield, Ill., 11^th and 12^th, and Decatur 12^th, and will pack up for a tour in Texas, commencing about the 1^st Sept.
