R-LittIe Folks FsstiraL-The exhibition of
the children of the North street NJ E. Sunday
School comes off at the Athcnnum this evening.
Large preparations are making to have a jovial,
varied, and edifying display of Juvenile oratOry
and musical talent, in the shape of duets,
speeches, dialogues, recitations. &c. The three
hundred and fifty young folks who are to parti.
cipate in the entertainment have been studying
their parts with an industry and ambitious en-
ergy which precludes, almost, the idea of a
failure. Besides the juvenile exercises, there
will he choir of thirty persons present, con-
sisting of amateurs and professors, and some
excellent vocal and instrumental music may be
expected on the occasion.
