A MUSICAL Association.

We are glad to learn that Wiot H. Clark
proposes to form a Musical Association in
EmLoria. as soon as his present singing
school is closed-which will be in a few
days-if he meets with proper amount of
encouragement from the lovers of singing in
! our town. Mr.. Clark has been giving les
sons for several weeks, in beth instrumental
and vocal music, and has given entire salts
faction. He understands music thoroughly,
and has the faculty of imparting his knowl-
edge to his pupils. 1t is not the de-
sign of Mr.. G. to dwell upon the rudiments
to much extent, in the coming course of
lessons. the class having already been pretty
thoroughly drilled in these, but rather to
make perfect by practice.
1t is also proposed to form Musical As
sociation, with the intention of keeping it
up permanently. To our singers it is use
less TO speak of the benefits of an organiza-
ton of this kind. They are always pro-
ductive of the greatest good, socially and
morally. besides afording an opportunity of
spending pleasant and instructive evening
once a week. In Lawrence an institution
of this kind has been successfully kept up
for years, and it is the boast of her people
that they have the best singers in the State
They all speak with pride of their Musical
Association. We can have good Associa-
ton in Emporia, and keep it up, if we win
go at it in earnest. For the small amount
of expense required we know of nothing
that will afford SO much pleasure, instruc
ton, refinement and real enjoyment.
Mr.. Clark has taken up his residence in
town for the winter, and is prepared to give
instruction in music, both instrumental and
vocal, to classes, or individuals. He de-
sires to teach class in the rudiments of
music, if one can be formed. We suggest
TO parents in our village that they will never
have a better opportunity to give their chill
dren the rudiments of a musical education.
than during the present long winter even
ings. A class of the Flittle folks " should
be formed by all means.

Among the various periodicals which visit
our sanctum, the Valley Farmer is one Of
the best - certainly the best agricultural
journal in all the West. 1t is of more prac-
tical value to the farmers of Kansas, than
all the other agricultural papers in the
country. A larger portion of the articles
which have appeared in the Farmers
Department of THE News during the past
year, have been selected from its columns
Notwithstanding the fact that we receive
several other agricultural periodicals..
No farmer in the West should let the new
year commence without subscribing, as a
valuable Premium Essay on Sorghum is
given FREE to every one who NOW sub
scrbes. This of itself is worth more than
the price of the Valley Farmer. 1t treats
of the different species of cane; its cultiva
ton; mode of planting; mode of cultivation;
stripping; topping; time and manner of cut
ting; mills; grinding; evaporating apparatus
required granulation; process of sugar
making; profits of culture and manufac

p. S.-Since the above was put in type,
another row has occurred at the same shop.
On Wednesday, man who lives north OF
the Neosho became intoxicated in the sa-
loon, and, growing somewhat noisy, Pitts
put him out at the door. He retaliated by
breaking in the window ofthe door. Pitts
threw a stool and several bottles at. him,
one of which cut cash in his right cheek.
1t remains with tue citizens to say whether
this thing shall continue or not. We pre-
dict that if il does, Emporia will be dead
town within two mouths. 1t will be den
of NANCY, loafug whisky-drinkers. People
who love morality viii withdraw their
trade, and go somewhere else. They will
not and should not patronize town which
tolerates such scenes as were transacted last
Saturday night and Wednesday afternoon.
We say these things with no malice to-
ward Mr.. Pitts; neither would we in the
least counsel violence. Let the law take its
proper course. We would SIS soon see Mr.,
P. prosper, in any honorable business, as
any man in the community; but let him
consider that he is tramping under foot the
wishes and best interests of this commu-
nifty, If he persists in his present course.

"He pitched into him,
And him pitched into he,
And the way they fit it was a sin,
And horibul TO see."

The parties had been "indulging'' in
some of Strands ''rot-gut,' and in this
state of mind misunderstanding arose over
a game of cards which the parties were en-
gagged in. High words eusued. Such ''soft
impeachments" as Odd liar" passed, we
are informed, from both sides-and then
came the knocks.
Such institutions as the one on CONNER
cial street, above alluded to, will always
breed such disgiaceful occurrences. They
are the legitimate offspring of whisky selling
and gambling. We are no temperance lee
turer; but We will say, that if Pitts's saloon
is conducted in the future as it has been
during the short time it has been open, it
will be a damning disgrace to the town.
If we are not much mistaken, the sentiment
of this community is strongly on the side
of temperance, and it is wrong for any man
TO engage in whisky-selling, against the
wishes and interest of the community, with
out even asking them for license. as the law
requires.
