JUVENILE SlxalNa-Dropping in mo-

Of Mrs. Brainard's juvenile singing class, we
were both surprised and delighted at the
marked development of these young Misses,
in the science of sweet sounds. Subjected
to rigid catechising by their accomplished
teacher, there responses in the mysteries Of
"rythmic," and melodies came with pro1np'
ness, clearness and precision. Among the
many we'll executed pieces we noticed the
trio "Thou hast learned to love another,
by the Misses Annie, Mary and Mamie was
surprisingly well done. Considering that
these little singers have but just closed their
first quarter, we must conclude they are ex.
tremeiy apt pupils, and that Mrs. B, is not
only perfectly accomplished in matters must
cal but has also happy faculty of imparting
the same. Her soul seems fountain Of
music and she deals with the darlings as if
she loved them. >.
