Russian side:
Translation 1: (child's name hard to read), the son of Aron Erjvits (Ervits?), the resident of Limbava?(in Russian written Лимбовского еврея), and his wife Bluma, was born on February 2\Adar 9, 1861. The rite of circumcision was performed on February 9\Adar 16 of this year by the rabbi Yosif Mochinegverg?.
Translation 2: Russian side (not posted, but in same image) has father's surname as Эрйвицъ, which transliterates as Ervitz. Since there's no H sound in Russian, there are compromises made. Boy's name could be Шмерил, which is consistent with Hebrew, but it's very faded. Mohel's last name is visible on the Russian side, could be Мочинаверъ (Mochinaver).
Yiddish side:
Boy, Shmerel. The father is Aharon Hirvitz from Lumchla(?), the mother Bluma. Born in Locash (probably Lokachi) Born 2 February/9 Iyar Bris 9 February/16 Ellul Mohel was Yosef (last name faded)
NOTE ON DATES: Probably Julian Calendar. Jewish holiday calendars & Hebrew date converter
