Madame Anna Bishops Concert.

A large audience assembled at Village Hall, on
Friday evening, TO welcome once more the re-
nowned Cantatrlcc, Anna Bishop, and listen again
to her performances, and to make the acqain-
lance of her assistants, Mr.. Edward Seguin, ''the
eminent BARITONE and Mr.. Gustavc DaSpiess,

chosen, but the selection proved to be better
than It's performance. The first two pieces
were set tor these gentlemen We confess that
we expected something worthy Of the specific
we confess also to our utter disappointment on
hearing them. They failed to awaken pleasure
by agreeabeness of quality or manner, as they
did also to awaken surprise by their execution.

for one pure, rich, pleasu re-kindling tone, some
thing that should thrill us with sensations of de-

compositions entitled Songs without words. We
have also heard words without consonants,

Nor are we willing To regard it as The FAULT of
the audience that they were not pleased The
difficulty lay IN another direction.
The audience expected better things from
Madame Bishop, and we are happy TO say they
were not disappointed We doubt, however, if
she came quite up to the standard of precon-

KENT 4 PURISeToS's GRAND SrEREorrIcoN OF TIE
| AMERICAN Civil WAR-We were favored las!
| night by Messrs. Kent & burlington with \ view
of this novel and interesting exhibition, and
were so struck with it's comprehensiveness and
grandeur that words fail us when We attempt to
convey to our readers an idea of it. The repre-
| sensations of prominent events, and of prominent
actors therein, connected with our present great
struggle for national existence, which will he
exhibited, are the choicest specimens of art that
has come within our observation. Every line,
every feature of the countenance of the men upon
the battlefield are brought out as distinctly as
life itself; and the mnutest specimen of vegeta.
are brought forth as perfect as may be seen when
under the gentle culture Of Dame Nature herself.
The programme presents list of scenes une-
qualled for variety, and interest to those who
have friends in the army, all of which are shown
by means of the newly invented CALCIUM Light,
the glaring strength of which magnifes objects
to any desirable size, thereby being decided
improvement on the old panoramic style of rep.
resentation. The copies of the {" Retreat of the
Federal Army from Bull Run the Charge Of
the Black Horse on the Fire Zouaves. and others
of like nature, are so vivid and life-like, that
but the roar of artillery and the clash of mus
kerry is lacking to transplant to the realities
of the battlefield. We cannot convey any ade-
quate idea of the magnifcence of the entertain
ment, and would therefore enjoin upon our read.
