THE FARWELL CONCERT.
notice. Mr.. Editor, that in the last Gaz.
cite, you invite a communication from somo
one who was present at the Farwcll Concert
given by Messrs Su'zner and Landnann, on
the evening of the 25th utimo. | had the ,
pleasure oIb being one Of the audience on that
occasion, and respond to your Invitation
only for the purpose Of expressing the pleas
ure which was afforded me by the "lnked
sweetness" the music, and ,hc regret which,
in common no doubt with many others, feel
in the thought that il was the Farrell Concert
MIR. SuIzncr has now been citizen of our
town. something more, believe, than two
years, and doubt not that Ire has oft behind
him numerous and warm friends--such in
deed as it is seldom the fortune of stranger
and foreigner to make in community of
which he becomes transient member in the
prosecution Of the profession TO which Mr..
Sulzner has devoted himself Our country
is too new. and amid the busy pursuits of our,
active business lives, we bestow far too little
attention upon the cultivation Of musical taste =
and talent, for us to be able to appreciate asa
people, such professional excellence rs Mr..
Sulzncrs but there arc qualities the head
and heart which 60 to make up the man and
the gentleman, for which no people possess a
quicker discernment, aud it is the possession
ofthcse qualities which Mr.. Suzner's friends
have recognized in him, and upon which their
regard for him is based, AS teacher of
music | feel warranted in saying that no one
could have given more entire satisfuction..-
The proficiency of his scholars fully evinces
his thorough comprehension Of tho princip1cs
of what he teaches, end his laith[uIness in tho
discharge of his duty; and those who know
him best, are best prepared to attest the refine.
mont OF his feelings, and the strength and
cultivation OF his intellect, as exhibited in tho
sphere OF social intercourse. The chccrful.>
the several concerts given hero for tLr>le.1HN
fit ofthe Methodist and Presbyterian Churches,
und the public spirit which he has manifested
in vari GUS ways, by his efforts TO contribute
to the pleasure and advantage Of the inhabi-
tants Of the town, exhibit his character as
citizen in most favorable light. In view of
all this, cannot but regret. and the feeling Is
doubtless general one that the Concert was
intended us FarweH, for the present at least,
to our village. Such men do not often come
among US, and we must feel their loss, when
they nre goue.
Of Mr., Landmann, we have not had tho op.
portunity of seeing and knowing so much; his
character as man and u musician so far as
we have been able 10 Judge it, and his kindness
in giving his aid in such Of the Church con.
ccrts. and Mr.. Sulzner's Musical Soirees as he
has been able to attend, has certainly laid up.
on US as community obligations ofgrattudc.
In Lagrange, where he has been engaged ia
teaching, have understood that his skill and
ability are very highly esteemed and have
given perfect satisfaction. His violin is tho
only one have ever heard, whose tones re-
sembled those of Ole Bulls instrument, as
listened TO them several years since, in tho
:Iew York Tabernacle. Indeed, were we to
estimate the capacity Of "horsc hair and cat
gut" by the exhibitions Of their powers made
in ordinary performances, we could scarcely
attribute to them sLch effects as they produce
in the hands Of the great Norwegian, or even
Mr.. Landmann. Ii was therefore source of
regret TO feel that we were listening 10 fare
