ROCHESTER, Sept 13.-Among the at
tractive exhibitions in the Floral hall
which were not mentioned in yesterdays
report is that of
THE CURTIss BUSINESS COLLEGE,
which is represented by some very fine
specimens of plain penmanship, pen
drawing, engraving and fourishing. Spec
linens are being written and handed out
among the throng of visitors, which equal
in execution the specimens upon the wall.
We find the enviable reputation which this
institution has attained is well grounded.
Prof. Curtiss is devoting his entire atten
ton to his work, and his school has already
taken it's place at the head of commercial
schools in the northwest. He is energetic
and progressive and is conscious that the
prosperity and greatness of this republic
are largely dependent upon this important
factor in educational advancement.
KIMBALL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
J. Fl. Wagner has on exhibition some
fine Kimball cabinet and parlor organs
and pianos which we'll sustain the reputa-
tion this company has attained throughout
the west. The instruments have all the
modern Improvements and points of supe
riority which have recently been added to
musical instruments.
