advised to try, all of which availed nothing, but

that there was no help for me when l induced
through the influence of friends to apply to you. did
so, feeling that it almost useless but you gave
encouragement from the first visit and finally
ed to have operation performed by you which was
the of restoring my sight Since that
time, which two years and half ago, have been

The MUSICAL lSsTITUTE.-The special aim
of this organization from its formation in
1857, has been to improve its members in
vocal music generally; but particularly in
that which most concerns those who are sing
ers in choirs. By so doing it has sought to
elevate the character of the music in our
churches. A long experience has now taught
all that this cannot be done without faithful
endravors on the part of both learners and
teachers. The managers of the institute have
doneihcir part, we think. when they provide
as conductor. Prof. Baker, man of rare &C
quircEicnts in music, widely and favorably
| known rs teacher. Had they failed in
any one of these requisites for a fit teacher
of sacred music, they would have been utter
ly unworthy of support. If our singers are
equally regardful of them, a most successful
session is before the institute in the coming
week.
In the public concerts of Thursday and
Friday evenings, in the Union church. other
attractions, as usual, will be offered, but of a
higher order than heretofore. On Thursday
the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, of Boston,
will take a part. Who they are, and what
they do, need not be told in Worcester, where
they have always commanded full and appre-
ciative audiences. To hear them once has
always cost as much as the admission to all
these exercises, concerts included. Our mu-
steal friends in the neighboring towns, as well
as those at home, will not be likely to over
look or fail to improve these opportunities.

about their time of sailing. When the Granite

Federal cEniser told the British captain that
he was slow traveller, for he (the fankee)
