Sounds of Normandy.

We have just received a copy of a Potpourri, containing all the popular airs from the new opera called tis “Chimes of Normandy,” splendidly arranged for the piano, by Charlie Baker, the celebrated Americas Composer. No doubt our friends and readers who have hail the pleasure of hearing this superb new opera can not fail to remember the beautiful melodies contained therein. AU these have been nieoly arranged for Piano or Organ. So popular is this composition that the publisher was compelled to make two sets of plates, in order to supply the demand. Every person who is in possession of a piano or an organ should buy a copy. Price, 50 cents, published by F. W. Helmick, the Great Western Publisher, 136 West Fourth Street, Cincinnati, O. Mr. Wells, an experienced railway builder, says that three fourths of the grading of the Wabash and Erie canal tow-path, will do, as it now is, for a narrow gauge railroad, and that all the stone work is in good order. He estimates that the road can be built and furnished with rolling Stock at a cost of not over $4,000 per mile.
