Save twelve years residence in Madrid,
N. y. Mr.. LeavenwOrth passed his lie on
the farm first occupied by his father when
the country was an unbroken wilderness.

most substantial citizens OF his town. In
early lite he held commissions from Cover
nors Van Ness and Butler in the popular
artillery company attached to General Cole
man brigade. lie has often since been called
to positions of friendly and official trust
From early manhood he was an active
member of the Congregational church,
though he was eminently catholic in his re-
ligious views. Without an enemy in the
world, his business affairs settled, he came
to the close of long and exemplary life,
like shock of core fully ripe for the harvest.

worth, principal of the State Normal School

The PuBLIC School FEsTIvAL-REHEARsLL
IN TIE CRY HALL About four hundred
children OF the Intermediate and Grammar
schools assembled at the City Hall, Fri
day afternoon, to rehearSe for the coming
public entertainment which will ai1rd to
our citizens an opportunity to learn some
thing of what is accomplished in the way OF
musical training in our public schools.
The system of musical instructions and
drill is that used in the Boston public
schools vita such success. For year
past Mr.. Thompson, the very capable musi-
cal instructor of the city schools. has been
drilling the scholars in this method, with
results greatly to his credit. At the City
Hall, Friday. the children were first put
through the scales by the system of manual
notation. 10 this system. which is the inven-
ton OF an Englishman, the notes of the scale
are expressed by different positions Of the in
structor's hands and fingers. Holding up his
hands before the scholars, Prof. Thompson
Indicated ami the children promptly named
and sounded every note, thro ugh various
changes Of key Simple strains Of melody
were them written in the air. as a. j. were.
by the teachers fingers, and were sung by
the scholars Then followed an ex-
ercise in harmony. Mr.. Thompson
indicating the notes of one part with his
right hand, and of another part with lis
left which were correctly read and sung in
harmony by the children. This was an ex-
ceedingly interesting portion Of the ex-
hibi;ion. The scholars then practised sew
eral pleasing choral pieces, in three parts,
singing their parts by syllable and by
words, with precision which would do
credit to many An adult choir. The rehear-
sal closed with 8 Old Hundred" A num-
Der OF our citizens. of both sexes, had seats
on the platform during the rehearsal, the
children occupying the body of the hall =
and all expressed surprise and graf
Ifcation at the progress which has
been made by the scholars. The
children of the Primary Departments
are drilled in the same way and are also
rehearsing once or twice week, in the
school houses and all Will be brought
together for the grand entertainment, which
will be given, probably in the Opera
House. three weeks hence. This will be
one OF the most interesting and attractive
entertainments Of the year, ami no parent
or lover OF music should miss 1t.

asserting his innocence, and declaring that
he can explain the circumstances which
seem to implicato him. The officers who

missions have been dropped by Latrimouille
which tend, almost beyond doubt, to con-
meet him with the murder. They are con-
fdent that they nave the man who murdered
Cstharine Dunsbach, and say that they will
be able to prove clear case against the
prisoner. Mr.. Dunsbsch was confronted
with LstrimJuille Tuesday afternoon, and
positively identified him as the man who
was hanging around the farm house and by
whom it il supposed the murder must have
been committed. Lstrimouiie was also

is in q very prosperous condition. having
doubled its membership since its organizt-
ton something over two months ago. We
have now over sixty good members, and
there are more TO follow soon. The literary

very interesting and profitable to all, max
ing our Lodge a very desirable place in
which to spend Saturday evenings for
mutual improvement. We have an
snti-tObaccO society within our Lodge,
which bids fair to include nearly all
our members. A pledge to abstain from
proiane language is also suggested. At the

all the old Ulcers were retained except some
