MIR. EDIToR.-I noticed your article on
Pa!ne's Music Store, with its new occupants
1t can hardly be called 'new Music Store,
though it has new men at the helm. This is
the old nc usic store of the Paines, having been
run by some one or other of the stock of Paine
for forty years. Its reputation is coeval with
our city government. I am glad so worthy
young men have come to our city to carry on
this business. They are thoroughly conversant
with it, for they graduate from a good school
that of Oliver Ditson & Co., of Boston, and
they have not been inapt scholars. 1t is good
thing for our city to have young men come
among us to settle. We want arterial blood OF
this kind. They intend to keep up with the
times in all new music, and everything per-
tanning to music store, having constant COM
munication with Boston for that purpose.
Honest, intelligent, and gentlemanly, let us
give these strangers welcome hand, and all
will feel that good thing hath appeared for
the musical profession, as well as for the city.

it had been cracked across the whole width,
inside OF the "tread" except place about one
by two inches in dimensions, near the axle
In one place the grease of months had been
forced into the crevice. The persons injured
were all in the baggage car. None of the
wounds are serious.

rection of the County Attorney, went to
Brunswick and impanelled a jury of inquest as
follows; Albert Curtis, foreman; Rob't Skol-
field, Charles H. Griffin, Harmon C. Orr, Geo.
