MUSIC. 



M. Horftig, counfellor of the confiftory of Minden, lias in-

 piece, whatever it may be : 2, the fecond; 3, the third ; 4, the 

 fourth, 8cc. : but if the piece is played or fung in^^, the cipher 

 I denotesyc, 3 la, &c. The following is given as an example :

The mufic of thefe lines is thus reprefented :
