J. F. GEREKE, music dealer, Seward, Neb., is burned
out.
SCHLOEMMER & HANSKNECHT, dealers in musical in-
struments, Milwaukee, Wis., have dissolved partnership.
JVNIUS HART of New Orleans, La., has forwarded to
us a complimentary copy of " Tchomboli," a chanson
Creole, dedicated to Mme. Pemberton-Hincks and the
Creole ladies of New Orleans. The French words are
by Major John Augustin, the music and English words
by W. T. Francis. The Creole maiden of the South
must be a very charming and engaging being.
A CLERK named Carl Neldner, who was employed in
the music store of G. Schirmer, 35 Union Square, N. Y.,
disappeared mysteriously from his boarding-house, 171
Allen street, N. Y., about the middle of last month. The
missing man gave every indication of being valuable in
his position with Mr. Schirmer, who would be glad to
be informed of his whereabouts. Neldner left his bag-
gage at the boarding house. Two weeks back he wrote
to Mr. Schirmer, complaining of not feeling well. Since
the receipt of this note by Mr. Schirmer all traces of
Neldner have been lost.

the New England States, also Ohio, (with headquarters
at Cincinnati) Kentucky, and part of Indiana. Every
venture ever made by M. Steinert Sons has been
crowned with triumphant success. Their connection
with the great firm of Hardman, Peck & Co. cannot fail
to result in additional fame and profit for both houses.
