MUSICAL NoTIcE.-It is with pleasure we an
nounce musical and literary treat for the Wor-
cester public, on Monday evening Nov. 2, to be
gwen by the American "Catalani' "a name given
her in Phiadelphia) and Miss Julia Mowbray.
What we can learn from our brethren of the press
is encouraging to the merits of these young
lady artists Such combination of talent, it is
said, has meyer before been offered to our public
We are told that "Catalani' possesses the great.
est compass and power of any cantatrice in the
world. Her. imitation of the flute is truly won
derful, and cannot be distinguished from the in
strument. Her imitation of the childish voice of
Gen. Tom Thumb, is not only laughable but re-
8sarka6le, while contrasted with this child.voce
is pure tenor tone of such power that we are lost
in the individuality. Her chanting of the
'Marseilles'' is thrilling, also the "Star Spangled
Banner Miss Mowbray is a lady of great gem
Jus. Her rendering of "John Gilpin" cannot be
eecelled, while her '.Thanatopsis" makes us feel
the less of earth and more Of heaven. We are
confident these deserving young ladies will be
greeted by an OVERLOOKING house.

One little girl was knocked down in the

that the explosion was caused by the water
