OsIRLIE CoNsHRYAToRY OF Musician in
stitutiOn has recently been organized in
Oberlin, which, if proper support be given
to the plans of its managers, will, in good
time, afford to us in the West advantages
for the culture of music heretofore only to
be obtained by crossing the Atlantic. The
enterprise to which We refer is school for
instruction in music, modelled to some ex-
tent upon the world famous musical con-
servatoriss of Germany. The school is di-
Vided into two branches, one for instruc-
tion in sacred music, including organ prac-
tice, solo and choral singing, directing, &C.,
and the olher for secular music, in which
the theory of music will be taught and ap-
piled to the competition and performance
of secular music, including the study of
the pisno-fOrte, violin, viola, Violincsllo,
and other orchestral instruments; solo and
chorus singing. solo playing with accompa-
niment, snd ensemble playing. Itisintend-
ed to give pupils in both these branches
the best advantages, and some of the most
accomplished and able musicians of the
country will give instruction upon the in
struments of which they are the especial
masters. Students will have access to a
musical library, and other unusual advsn-
tsges will be afforded them. The full
course of study is three years in length,
and includes instruction in Harmony, Part
writing, Counterpoint, Double Couutsrpoint,
Fugue, Form, and Composition. The school
which takes the name of "The Oberlin Con.
ssrvatOry Of Musie," ia under the manage
medt of ]. P. Morgan, Esq who has recent
ly spent three years of study in the Con-
ssrvstOry of Music at Leipsic, founded BY
Mendelsohn, and generally acknowledged
to be superior TO any other in the world =.
and Mr.. George W. Steele, who is we'll
known throughout the State as q musician
of great taste, experience and ability, and
possessing unbounded devotion to his art.
It's location is peculiarly fortunate one, ss
the number of good musicians at Oberlin,
and the attention already paid to music by
the institution there, affords an excellent
basis for the Organisation of ArSt class
musical school. Students will be furnished
with a constant supply of good music to
near, and it will be comparatively easy to
find material for practice in choral sing
ing and orchestral performance. The
greatest works Of the greatest compos-
ers can be given complete and With
out division, and the advantage resulting
from this feature Of the school cannot be
overstated. We are glad to learn that the
institute, which commenced its first term
some three weeka since, is very successful
and has the brightest prospects for perma-
nence and excellence.

lars can do SO By addressing J. P. Morgan,
