The Alleghanian. (Ebensburg, Pa.) September 1, 1859
Sometime during the past winter, a party of worthy fellows, consisting of Robert
Litzinger, C. T. Roberts, John Rodgers, Jr., J. N. Kinkead, David Evans, Felix
Henle, John Evans, Jeremiah Fagan and G. Alexander Kinkead, all good and lawful
citizens of our town, conceived the idea of supplying a want which had long been
felt, by the formation of a Brass Band. Accordingly, they procured the necessary
instruments, and engaged the services of Professor Smith, of Indiana, for the
purpose of instruction. Under the tuition of the Professor, and by reason of the
fine musical tastes of each of its members, this Band has already attained a degree
of perfection which is truly astonishing. Devoting themselves to practice at regular
intervals, they now execute a variety of quadrilles, polkas, waltzes, marches,
quicksteps, &c, with the greatest precision and nicety; and "oft in the stilly
night," salute our citizens with "concords of sweet sounds," really and truly
refreshing. 
We are assured that, if this Band continues to act as a band of brothers, it will
ere long be one of the best bands of music in the State. Reader ! if you don't
believe this, come to our Agricultural Fair and hear them.
