WE notice in The Post of Camden, New Jersey,
that the name of H. G. Farnhatn is suggested as
mayor of Woodbury. Mr. Farnham is the genial

the name of Woodbury as well-known as he has
that of Blasius & Sons, should he succeed in
reaching the mayoralty chair.
WE have just received a handsome illustrated
catalogue descriptive of the pianos made by
Decker & Son. It also contains a history of

musicians. Taken in its entirety, it is tasty

& Bro., of Galveston, Texas, two gems from

for the Seidl concerts in New York.
