We were not in attendance at the
musical convention at Council Grove,
but the band boys all report having had
pleasant time generally. They were
loud in their praises of their reception
in Dunlap, by Mr.. Still and others. They
played few pieces, formed many pleas
ant acquaintance, and proceeded from
there, by invitation, to Mr.. Noll's, where
they had one of the best dinners the
band has ever had. This is where they
missed us worst-at the dinner-for
there is where we get our work in best.

language of old Lucretius: "Omiseras

we express it in the American vernacu-

men, how blind their understanding"
Or we might express our indignation at
such an appointment in the forcible Ian

physicians in the county, "Such a man
is as well calculated to examine the ply
