desire TO hear this qu en- Of song, should
not lail TO improve The present opportu-
nifty. AS to talking about her merits
as a singer, it is altogether out of the
question and behind the age the who.e

7 riyalIed and unapproachabe as "A vocal
ist, and she enjoys reputation ard
popularity such rs no human beIGg has
ever won, in any department Of life.

are given alternately at Castle Garden
aud Trirlcr Hall, both of Which are i'm
mense buildings, and as the Concerts
are given almost every day or evening.

ter day, and night after night these
Halls are filled by admiring numbers,
many OF whom have listened 10 Jenny's
heavenly notes, over and over again.

town, compose part OF the Orchestra
and give, II II was possible, an addit-
ional charm to the Concerts. Ii is rich
