OUTRAGEOUS FRAUD AND SWTNDLING-
CURIOUS DEVELOPMENTS,
F,o~ The Elmira (Chemsas Co. } Republican.

Tha following details OF remarkable instance of
treachery and crime we have obtained from the most
reliable source In the fore part Of August Mr.. Am

of this village engaged in the bookselling business,
died leaving 10 his young wife and infant child prop

$1,000 which had been expended upon their residence,
and three Of about 81 900 each which had been
executed to Mr.. Sickles few days before his DEATH
by bis partner upon dissolution of their copartney
ship.
Mr.. Sickles, experimenting that ne could not live
long, sent for his brother Henry j. Sickles of Albion
10 come on and assist in the closing up OF his partner
ship ansus his brother soon came-and as Mr.
Preswick bad Rsrgained with Mr. Sekles for the
purchase OF his mVrest in the partnership property
ana was TO give notes in payment therefor, these
notes were executed to him and delivered TO the
brother for him. After receiving them. he informed
Mr.. Sckles of the fact and was directed by him TO
deposit them in the Bank Of Chemung. An hour or
Two aiterwsrd, he delivered 10 the officers of the
Bank sealed package, In the presence of Mr. Pres

THE HALLELUJAH By LOWELL Mason. Pp u.s. ma
son Brotheu =, L
The editor of this work, it would seem, has OBJ
tanned musical glory enough for one man oy INC
nubcation Of nine successive and successful singing
books-ope for each OF the Muses.. Dat there are no
bounds 70 his zeal for the progress of psamody snd
thus he adds another oblong volume TO the aresdy
formidable list. A Leading feature of this manual -
II. hiphly practical character collection OF pieces
for use in the exercises of the choir. In rhythm
presents an extensive variety, showing how move
ment may be broken up, without destroying Its sym
metry and unity Great attention also, has been psid
to the melody of the selections, and by relying NANNY
on diaonc progressons graceful and attractive bow
has been attained in connection with prevailing Dig
ni,y and solemnity. In point OF harmony-eo difcu'
of attainment, in the preparation of psalmody-tae
"Haueujah is greatly in advance Oft predecessors
II exhibits an admirable combination OF strength and
ease. without monotony-eonnectng chords that the
people can sing and yet avoiding the constant sue
cession of tonic and dominant harmones. As a gem
era rule the music here given is not only chaste and
good OF its kind but is adapted to the average attain
mepis of our church chOhs-such as will please the
uneducaied musical ear and at the same time, sccom-
plirh the more important purpose OF educating the
popular taste Another merit OF this work, is the dis
tincton which i, observes between Choir and Congre
gational Music. The one may be artistic to any de-
gree permitted by the ability of the perfor ners or the
taste Of the audience the other attaches less import
TO the esthetic element-aims less at beauty
than at strength and impressveness- is grand and
powerful in its very simplicity. Both Of these styles
are essential in Church music and both receive ample
Justice in the present manual.
The Elements of Music, which custom has made
necessary appendoge to books of psslmody are pre-
Fixed to "The Hallelujah' They evince careful and
accurate prep. ration, giving the definitions in clear
and ineligible language and employing nomen'l Ia
ture well adapted to the instruction Of classes The
exercises have been udicousy selected and are ar
ranged on progressive system, including variety
of interludes, chants anthems and carols. Part
songs. rondos and easy glees have been added Civ
ing attractive specimens of a lighter kind OF music
condensed exposition of the elements Of psalmody Is
furnished under the title Of Musical Notations ia
Nutshell" intended for the use of Short Schools,
which though not the most valuable of American in
stitu,ons, demand suitable provision for their
wants In these respects the " Halelujah,' which is
brought out in the well. known excellent style OF the
publishers deserves a cordial welcome, and Mr.. Ma
son wide reputation among the cultvators OF sacred
song will doubtless insure attention to its claims.
