EXHIBITION OF WENTWORTH SENIN AIRY
1t is much to be regretted that Friday even
ing was so very inclement, as many of our
fellow citizens were thereby prevented from
testifying by their presence at Liberty Hall,
their appreciation Of the generous tender by
the young ladies of Wentworth Seminary, OF
benefit for the Alexandria Female Orphan
Asylum.
About two hundred persons, however, more
than half Of them ladies, were in attendance,
and we need not say to those who were
present at the exhibition Of which this was
a repetition, that they were delighted.
The exercises lasted three hours and
half, during which the audience gave their
undivided attention. Most of the old pieces
were reproduced with several new ones,
among which beautiful dialogue, represen-
ting the Union, each state being represented
by a young lady, while Columbia appeared
in the centre, bearing the Stars and Stripes.
the Red, White, and Blue" which was
sung with fine effect during this exercise,
drew down thunders of applause. 1t is q
very difficult matter to decide who excels,
when all perform their parts well, but 1t 1t be
allowable to express our opinion, the claims
of Misses Kell and Miburn to pre-eminence
were paramount The musical part of the
entertainment was conducted chiefly by the
Misses Daniel, whose sweet tones gave ex-
preston to several beautiful pieces of compo-
sition, among which one by our young towns
man, Charles q. Mortimer. Jr, Il have no
mother pow" If not the most elaborate, found
perhaps, the readiest response in the hearts
of those present These ladies were several
times called on to repeat their pieces.
Miss Brandt, young lady OF foe uusica!
talents, also entertained the audience with
excellent effect and the Misses Clark, also,
sung several songs with their accustomed
success.
Little George Gwin, whose talents for
speaking have been heretofore alluded to- IN
a notice of the Baptist Sunday School tx
hbiton, volunteered his services for the oc-
casiou, and gave The Dllatory Scholar
which was loudly encored.
The Orphans were all present, through the
kindness of Mr.. Hugh Latham, who brought
them 10 an omnibus.
