PROF. WEBER's music class is quite
large, and consists of some of our best
young ladies, who study with will. and
the rehearsal at Mr.. Montgomery house
is highly spoken Of About one hundred

QUITE number Of arrests were made
on Saturday night. The boys wanted to
have change of programme, after listen

of life, but outbursts of gladness should
he regulated, and then they might have
their fun and not subject themselves to
arrest.
