The most novel and finest exhibition of the kind ever seen in Wooster is now displayed free to all in the show window of Geo. Faber's Confectionery store, next to the post office. It consists of fifteen red squirrels procured by Frank Fisher, and mounted and formed into an orchestra by Joseph Housekeeper, the skillful taxidermist. The squirrels are arranged in a semi-circle in an open cottage, and fronted by their leader in spectacles. Each is stationed behind a music stand and as though playing holds a musical instrument, from a violin to a base drum. It is as handsome as a picture and attracts much attention.
