An Amati Violin. Mr. Frank 8011, a wo!l known youngma:; of this city, has in his possesic l a violin nearly three hun dred years old, and which is believ ed on good auihority to bo r genu ine Amati. About three years ago Mrs. Bell who is a widow, and her family went to live in Richmond, Her sob I rank went to one of the public :‘b Is of that city, and at, home tool: lessons on the viola from a [oral isacher, a German musician, Brat. leiioe. As the lad progress ed his study he grew dissatisfied wifi his liddle and decided to buy a better ono. Talking it over with a school fallow, young James, that boy bethought him of an old fddle at home and offered to sell it to Frank. This was the famous Am ati. The boy knew but little of the history ot the liddle, but when it was fitted with strings and keys the wonderful tones which the Ger man professor evolved from it da cided him that it was an oxfraordi nary instrument, and ha sold it Jo young Bell for what seemed to him at a great figure—s3s. By Prof. | Teiloe’s advice the fiddle was sent to New York to a firm who make a specialty of repairs. In cleaning the inside of the violin they dis covered a scrap of paper, yellow with age. on which was given in Italian the exact record of this Cre mona. ‘ ; Do you know what you havo got?” the New York firm wrote, and when the instrument had been thoroughly refitted and restrung ibe musical people in New Ycrk went crazy about it, and odors rang ing from SIOO up to $1,500 wore made for if. (On its merits as a violin before returning it to Richmond, Prof. White ot New York, and the late Prof. Beiifiette of Washington, both well known artists, gavoare < -'a! nart v of seventy or eighty mu sic: ms. in which the Cremona was tested for nearly four hours The rid \ iin discoursed to the musi r.• in tones mellowed by two :: n ■ ?. half centuries of age.
