An Interesting musical discovery las been
made latety IN Vienna, consisting OF several pre-
viously unknown compositions BY Franz Schu-
BERT Amongst them ia an overture never be-
fore executed; the complete score Of au oper-
ette, "The Domestic War;" and the music
for melodrama, "The Magic Harp" which,
and since then has been lost sight OF, 1t is said
to have many and great musical bsautios, but to
be unfit for representation now.
Edward Bellasis' "Llfo OF Cherubini' - is VERY
favorably spoken OF. 1t is said to be we II writ
ten, and full OF entertaining information. 1t
seems that CLerubin1 was very modest man,
for Ae actually refused 70 dedicate his opera,

"Federal Street" p" was the first mueical oon-
position Of Heury E. Oliver, aud when Lowell
Mason was teaching music at Salem, where Mr..
Oliver lived, he WAS so pleased with it es to asx
the privilege Of publishing it in the Boston
Academy collection OF church music, which was
readily granted, but what should it be named,
was the question. The good husband promptly
said, II will name it after my wife,; out when
he consldered how unromantic nnme Sally was
after quite a struggle, lie compromised by
naming it after the street on which she lived in
Salem. The General, who has fully reached Ills
three score and ten, il member OF the Unitarian
Church in Salem, but no. more seetarian IN his
theology than in Ills melodies, which have never
been suspected OF heresy, says correspondent
OF tho Christian Union.
