Pretty Women: No Beauties.

For New Hampshire and Vermont was open
ed 10 this place on Tuesday of last week aid
continued until Friday evening-Mr. Fisk OF
Claremont presiding The exercise consisted
OF lectures, discussions, and singing, and were
closed by a concert ON Friday evening, which
was fully attended and entirely satisfactory
The chosu>es were quite as well performed as
could be expected from large choir gathered
ffom different quarters and with the bret season
tar rehersals allowed by the convention. The
solos and trios were exceedingly well done in
these Miss. Hill of Bosom, Miss Clark Of Clare
e.nont Messrs. " oodDury and Black of New
70 K, and Baker and Souihard OF Boston, per-
formed their parts admirably. We have occa-
son,ny seen greater power exhibited by stars
in the ltal an opera-but never greater tsste or
accuracy in the performance. Of the lectures,
Mr. Southar1's was pecu iarly valuable, and will
be published. On The whole, the Convention
was very pleasant and interesting, and we doubt
not gave new and strong impulse in the right
direction to sacred music.

6, we're valued at S2S5205. This IS the value
as per bills made out abroad for our custom

was al least half million OF dollars. Our rea-

The Season.

Cold, wet and backward as the spring has
been, there has been an advantage in it which
should not be overlooked. The grass-lands
which suffered severely from the drouh last
year, appear TO have recovered thei, vigor, and
promise plentiful crop. We have heard some
discouraging reports ss to corn: but the warm
weather of last week helped corn wonderfully,
and there is chance yet for that important arti
Gle. With favorable result in grass. grain and
corn, The farmers will have little cause fol
grumbling : let potatoes go as they may.
