Miss Greenwood 0
Nashua, who was present by especial invitation
added greatly to the evenings entertainments
We never heard soprano voice OF 30 nuct
power and sweetness-ln which there was neth

nfed their admiration OF her musical powers
by repeated applause. So well pleased were
those who heard her on Wednesday evening
that she yielded to the many requests to give
concert of a more popuar character on Monday
evening, at the Village Hall. Notwithstanding
the storm, the Hall was well filled, and Miss
Greenwood won new laurels
If our opportunities of hearing Miss Green

tertainment, we would be exceedingly cautious
in the expression Of our opinion concerning her
but having listened to her in the rehearsal, in
the concert, in the church service, and again IN

her. Her programme was admirably chosen and
better performed. Every piece was rapturously

Miss Greenwood is at present employed to

performances reflect the greatest credit upon
