There are few towns in this state that
possess a greater number OF musicians
than Bloomsbury. 1t has graduates OF the
music department OF Dickinson Seminary,
pupils OF d. d. Wood, the greatest organ
ist Of Philadelphia, pupils of the Boston
Conservatory, graduates of the Normal
and some graduates of other music schools,
and some old timers who can hardly re-
member where they got their musical edu,
cation. Home talent concerts have been
given here that were equal in merit to pro.
fessionsl entertainments. The Blooms
burg Orchestra, composed entirely Of
young men, is most creditable organize
ton, and it is to be hoped that they will
stick together, for their music is away
ahead of anything Of the kind eyer heard
here before.
