Capt. Troll and
Gents. Of The Monroe Band:
1t were an act Of gross injustice to
your skill, to pass the present occasion
without giving you full credit for your
performance to day. The art you profess
is an exalted one; indeed it is termed the
Divine art, and gentlemen who excel in
1t, ale worthy of the high. st praise; such
gentlemen, we regard you. The immor
tai bard Of Avon has said, lie tha,
hath not music in his soul, nor is moyeI
10y the concord Of sweet sounds is fit fol

pos to the performance Of to-day.
The music was n rich accompaniment
to the gay display made by the member:
OF this school, and in suitable manne,
seemed TO blend amusement with ins,ruc
ton. You have heard enough of speak
ing for one day. Permit me, in the name
OF the fair tutoress and of the officers also
to tender you their most sincere and cor
dial thanks for your attendance and
pleasing performance"
This was due to the band; they had
attended three or four days during IN,

to him; the merits Of it are magnanimously
imputed to his correspondents. His name is
only mentioned when things go wrong, and
no one ever seeks him except to hOTsewhip
him. Often he follows the example of the
Jewish wal. builders, who wrought with one
hand on their swords, and sets type with one
hand while he writes bad grammar with the
other. He literally offers to take his pay in
wood, potatoes, or meal, but receives hing
