The latest rage is music. and just now the PeO-

lots of music teachers, and good ones too. Miss
Bronson, who has been here for some time, is a
fine musician, an excellent teacher. and has quite
a number of scholars. Miss Watrous has been

and instrumental music, and has plenty of bust

the violin and piano, and has several classes in
this vicinity. Prof Donmall teaches the violin,
guitar, piano and singing. and is q splendid iut-

every variety, from the shrillpipings of the small
Aurchirs, and the treble of the ladies. down
through every note of the gamut to the deep thor
.ough bass of our friend Hucke; and in every
quantity, from the single feeble note of some lit
tie girl taking private lessons in the morning. to
the united roar IF the adult class of q hundred
performers, at night, which fairly makes the
brick walls tremble. Both classes often make
capital music.
