Music IN THE HoUsE.-Passing b,

sprivate dwelling, evening lately, heard strains
Of sweet music being performed by circle of reatves
and friends within its walls The tender pathos of
womans voice, and the tones of mans mingled
harmoniousy with instrumental touches, and made a
throbbing melody. The dwelling seemed animated by
painting SOUL whose luminous presence shone through
the curtained windows.
What can sanctify house like music1 Next tolove,
which inspires, what invest the home circle with
such CHARM and leave such odorous memories in the
hearth Happiness may exist without it, but what a
tender grace it loses! And when in after lie happi
is more than remembered perfume, the songs
sung about the home hearth return to us as its
very echo, rousing sentiments else dead forever.

Incorporation A FAILURE.-There

appears to be lively opposition to the project of in
corporation. remonstrance against it has been signed
by majority Of the business men on Main street, and
will be presented to the Board of Supervisors unless
the original petition is withdrawn. We cannot but
think citizens working against their own inter

township incorporation under the general law, with
the more unwieldly and expensive system of municipal
incorporation, and afraid that burden of taxation
and debt would be imposed upon them.
