A few days since, (being rather

quite apt to be,) We fitted out our

little hurricanes twisted into one.---

We presume there are several o'
our citizens who are not aware Of the
fact, that Mr.. BAssETT, of the vicinity
Of Pmutytown, has been engaged,
during The past week in teaching a
class the science ofsVocal Music, III
this town. No person, who has any
knowledge Of music, can hesitate to
applaud MI. B. as . teacher Heboth
understands his subject thoroughly,
and knows how TO make his pupils
understand it. Their progress, thus
far, is highly gratifying. We 'si learn learn
that few more pupils can be taken
if immediate application is made.
The Class,i is occupying the elegant
Hallin the third story ofMr. Towers
new edifico on High street.
1t may moi be amiss 10 add, that
Mr.. Basse.t is not one of those itias-
rant Professors, who deliver their les
sons, pocket your dimes, and leave for
parts unknown, but respectable
citizen of Taylor county, who blends
the science Of Music withtlat oftill;
