the walls will. from exposure. finally
crumble and become useless. This mat

wall, above mentioned, which adds much
TO their reputation as master workmen'
and we commend them 10 the public, in

d. A BANp.-I. has been suggested 10
US tina, il is an important matter that we
should have Brass Band in our town.
Tha. during the past four years over four
hundred dollars have been expended in
procuring these organizations for Parades,
&C., which could have been retained had
there been one of our own. This is an
importaD, fact. and We coincide with the
statement Previous to the war, we had
as fine an organization of this kind as
ever footed q horn-we refer 10 Girls
wells Cornet Band. the same material
is amongs. us-a majority OF those
are ye, here who will take part in the or
saniza,ion as members. Had We Band
in our midst We could have their services
upon many OCCASIONS. of which we are
now deprived, wi,hou, any additional ex-
peRse. il has been decided tina, Fair
will be held during the coming Holidays,
for the purpose Of raising funds for this
object. and that previous 10 tina, time lists
will be circulated for subscriptions for
the same purpose. We believe funds
could be thus realized for the purchase Of
instruments, by each giving liberal share,
and which would not discommode the
poke, of any one to any extent. Let US
have Criswell's Come, Band revived,
and we will no. be compelled 10 send our
money elsewhere whenever we desire tho
