Roger Manning proposes (provided suitable encouragement
offers) to instruct young gentlemen in every rule
appertaining to the drum----He flatters himself that such as
have a genius suited to music, will, in a very short time,
be instructed to beat almost any tune or march, with
exactness and propriety, that is now in vogue in the
Continental Army.----He has acted as drum-major, for several
years, in the service of the United States; and can produce
(if required) sufficient credentials of his skill in the
above branch.-------For terms enquire at his lodgings, near
the Meeting-House.
N.E.  None need apply, but such as can furnish themselves
with drums.  Norwich, March 14, 1780.
