The object Of this Association is to or
ganize the musical element throughout
the entire county, so as to use the same
books and publications for singing pur-
poses, so that annual conventions may be
held, and from their familiarity with the
pieces all can participate.-EDs.
SPRING ELECTION.-The election this
spring will take place on the 10th March,
three weeks frem next Friday. 1t is of
much Importance to taxpayers to see that
honest and capable men are selected on
both sides, Il duty too often neglected.
The assessors and assistant assessors to be
elected this spring will make the next tri-
enuiaI assessment.
DEMAND FOR HOUsEs.-A large mum
Der Of houses could readily be rented here
but few seem disposed to build OF account
as they allege of the high prices Of lum-
Der and labor. y considerable addition
will soon be made to the number of hands
at Freedom Iron and Steel Works, most
of whom would rent here could houses
be procured. AS it is, the company will
have to erect houses, and our citizens are
thus, by their inertness, building up Free
dom at the expense of LeWistown.
