Music By The Blind Two interesting ladies.
educated at the Institution for the Blind at South
Boston, under the superintendent of Doct.
Howe, gave concerts IN this village. lastweek.
to respectable and grsiiiiea audiences. Miss
Nelson and Miss Coy make no high pre,ensions
to fashionable singing. They are too sensible
and modest for that But ifthe prolonged cheers
Of an audience are an indication Of excellence
IN the performers, these blind ladies have u,u.
sic IN their souls" and know how 10 bring il out.
We are not judges of music, What most inter
ested us was the ease and accuracy with which
these ladies read the Bible ieiR their fneers. -
This Is done by the sense Of feeling, on raised
letters They promptly corrected errors in the
reading of gentleman who can see; and eyin-
eed better education in good reading than ma
ny man who has been honorcd with a collepe
diploma. They are poor in this worlds gear.
but rich in mental and musical resources. We
heartily commend to the favorable rerard and
liberal patronage Of the public. \.
