The lEoliau Vocnlisls,' and accordingly
programme with that preposscssing head
to it was, after sundry aud divers miraculous
cfloits, aud most astounding labor, prepared
for the public eye. THIS programme, which
also served as poster, was something OF
cnriu~iy IN lis way when il appeared on a
wall, for IL wns 10y no means nIaInuOthan
ailhr, heing about three inches IN length 10y
two aud Il halt IN breadth, and consequently
required n vigilant eye to detect, aud u micro
srupic optic to read IL. This poster was
affixed to fences aud walls by JudsOn Hutch
iusOn aud Asn--who concOcted the paste,
history records uot-and ns 10 the brush, IL is
highly probable that fingers suffcrd tor the
occasion. Enough to say, that the good
people of Wilton, n small town ia their na-
tive State, were informed. 10y these said post
crs, ihui The Hplinn Vocalists' would per-
iorm IN the Baptist Church, aud a iorcible
appeal was uiade To their nationality 10y one
oi the broihers, yudson, in the following
lines, which appeared in the modest pro-
gruunle
"Whcn foreigners approach your shores,
You welcome them with open doors;
Now We have come to seek our lot,
Shall native talent be forgot"
Great aud manifold were the preparations
for this first concert To guard against the
possibility of II break down through hoarse-
ness, the vuralists furnished themselves with
II supply of pIrklrs, peppermint luzrngcs,
and WATER which they silly concealed until
rcquird. The nrrvouslirss incident To such
nu uccosuu was of course ielt wren the hour
arrived, aud an audience of upwards ui fifty
persons, At twelve aud half cents each oc-
cupicd seats. Every thing went off capiully,
aud alie' The performance many remained to
congratulate the singers. SO Tar all was en-
cunrnglng. Praise WAS sweet, nut pence are
sWtCirr. TIE latter were tar less plentiful
than the Turner, ns indeed is frequently the
c0se, ior liic ngruuitions far outbalnuced
tlIc cash. Amer all expenses were paid, Ut
should.be mentioned to his honor That the
duuikccper on this occasion took out his pay
IN music !! u iiunnce committee of the EOliun
NGcnIiSiS was held, aud II surprising surplus
oi exactly six and H-quurter cents declared.
That was not much of n balance in their ia
v0r, to he sure, bui it was better llinn pos
hive loss. Al all events, the Ruhicon had
been passrd--tlint was something aud so,
not quite out of henrt they looked forward
with confidence TO the good time coming"

voluntarily presented them with four of his
best songs - My Mothers Bible, The Ori-

an invaluable treasure. IN ten days they
had them all married to their own music,

an account of n ludicrous incident which
occurred al one Of their concerts in Wash

"JudSon was TO sing the song of The
llumhugged liusbuud,' which commences
thus:-
shes not what fancy painted her,
I'm sadly taken in, etc.
Now, il so happened that the temporary
platform upon which he stood was so care
hssly constructed that lie had no sooner
declared himself to be sadly taken in meta
plorcaly, Than lie was taken in ~ the
most nlaIler-Otiact nlanner possible, for the
bUards gave way, aud poor JudSun suddenly
took leave of his audience aud sank into the
shades below, aier the most approved II, lc

women slnieking aud squeaIing, his head
n.ouc visible, nud his ince wearing a serio-
cniuicul aspect, whirh convulsed the uudi-
encc, wlin imagined the movement was II
concerted ouc--u point, in fact, aud there
fore vociiero,sly applauled il, ENlricalcd
hom his awkward position, Ju,lson went
through his songs wilIom n descending
scale movement, and was mplurously en-.
eorcd hut he declined most decidedly TO be
