Chow WE Won THE BATTLE. 1t will
be seen by an advertisement in this paper
that W. j. Holland Of Springfield has just
published a new and beautiful engraving
on steel by the we'll known artist John
Sartain, from painting by Schussele. 1t
represents an American soldier who had
been wounded in battle, returned home
and sitting once more among loved ones
at his own fireside relating 'Iow we won
the battle" His parents, wife and chill
dren, and others are represented listening
to his story with expressions of varied
emotion, all eagerly catching every word
that falls from his ips. The picture is
truly life like, and speaks touchingly to
thousands of families who have sent dear
and brave ones to the recent battle fields
of our country. John NJ. Grout of West
Brattleboro is agent for disposing of it.

MUslCAL.-NIlle Parepa, a lady who
has lately arrived from Europe, is creating
quite a stir among the musical people of
New York and Boston by her wonderful
voice. She is represented as second only
to Jenny Lind Of all the singers who have
ever tuned their notes in this country.
She was in Boston last week, is now in
New York, and soon goes to Philadelphia.
Parepa is accompanied by man who is
represented by some as even a greater Won
der in his line, than the peerless queen of
song 1t is Mr.. Levy, whose marvel
lous execution on the cornet has proved
him the king of players. Levy is claimed
as without an equal in the world on the
cornet-a-piston.
