Snow fell to various depths as far south as Denver, Fort Union and Santa Fe, Learned as we believed Dr. Aver in the arcana of nature. and wonderful as we knew his medicines to be, We were not prepared for so signal an instance of his superiority, not only over the wise men. but the wisest of animals whose instinct IS considered unfailing. We drive up the peg, more firmly than ever, over our hearth for Ayers American Almanac. - Cedar, Rapids Times. March 10

On Tuesday evening, the 18th ult., Mir. Buckingham held asinging school in Farm CTS Hall. It being the last of the term, MT. B. before commencing said they were not to give any thing 80 digniied as a con- cert, but in their small way would sing what he meant to have us understand was as juvenile music in juvenile manner, nothing ambitions enough for criticism, but Q social, family kind of entertainment, Quite deprecatory of course, as he knows well how to do. AS we looked at the for ty or more lads and 1assies on the plat form, with their singing books and spark ling eyes, it seemed as if it must require superhuman patience to harmonize those individual do-mi-sols in the concrete in to one abstract, harmonious, whole. But the reflection that man is an initiative an- imal, like his Darwinian prototype, light ened the difficulty. A duet on the piano by Misses Colbon and Buckingham was well performed and give promise of more than usual musical abilities for so young girls. Then came tune singing, showing very good blending and harmonizihg of voices. succeeded by quartets, trios, so- los, and choruses.a For ourselves we have not had so good treat since hearing the Jubilee Singers. The audience were high ly delighted and would be glad to attend another singing school. sr-szas lssfS Ta7
