have organized themselves into Cornet
band have without assistance and With
tut instruction acquired considerable pro-
icency. They are mere boys, as yet,
nut the progress which they have made
thus far, gives promise, for the organiza.
ton, Of success which the village and
town may justly be proud Of 1t will be
a valuable accession to our village The
6rst great need is set of new instru-
merits which should be purchased and
owned by the village or persons whose
interest it is that they should remain here,
30 that if a removal occurs at any time
the band need not be broken up. Then
they propose to have an instructor This
expense should be borne by contribution.
We may anticipate great pleasure from
their playing in the public parks of the
village during the warm summer evenings.
Some Of the citizens Of the village have
,lready been gratiied by their compli.
ueutary attentions in the form of a ser.
nude, and for which they desire to ex.
lress thanks. We tender them ours
light here. 1t is to be hoped our people
will contribute literally for their encour.
,gemeDt in this laudable enterprise.
