Piles Of vocal music. A most excel

has been obtained. He proposes to
give twenty lessons for $4,000, so
that the larger the number of schol-

We hope all our boys and girls will
avail themselves Of this favorable
opportunity. As the lessons will

CURIOUS STORY FROM Kentucky

a correspondent, writing over the

curious story to the Kentucky .Advo-

"Mamy years ago an old man by the
name of Cordcr resided near Cum

Williamsburg, and not far from
Cumberland Falls. lie often i'll

covered Il silver niue, and that the
ore was OF the richest character. lie
would never disclose its locality to
any one, and for certain reasons he
felt assured that he never could rca-
lIzc anything out of his discovery.
Long thereafter, he cmigratcd to

to his removal there, he was taken
violently sick. and being Informed

The writer Of this, when in Louis

his way to Whitley county with Il
view of making some arrangements
with Mr.. Hickombotham to develop
the mine; that upon his failure to

at once return 10 Missouri.
1t now appears tina: Mr.. Blevins
found the land in possession of An

from his un"ir, he went direct TO and
found the mine without any difficulty.
