MUSICAL TREAT.-We understand that the good
people of our city are to have rare treat. The
ladies of the Memorial Association Of Wake coun-
ty have invited Mr.. L. p. Wheat the Southern
Pianist, to give concert for the benefit of the
Association.
Mr. Wheat is native of this State and the
youngest of DR.. Wheat, formerly Professor
in the University of n. G. AS q child, Mr.. Wheat
evinced wonderful talent for music, playing the
most difficult pieces by ear. Eight years ago Mr..
Wheat went to Europe to complete his musical
education, which had been commenced under the
best Professors of music this country afforded
In the last eighteen months he has given concerts
before several of the crowned heads of Europe
He also gave concert in Paris for the benefit of
Southern sufferers there, and one in London for
the benefit of the Confederate soldiers in prison.
Everywhere he drew immense audiences and more
than pleased wherever he performed. He COM
bines the depth and soul of Beethoven, the rare
conceptions of Mozart and the brilliant execution
of Listz and Thalberg. Altho' so young, he has
taken his place among the first artistes of the age
He will be assisted by the best amateur singers of
this city.-Ral Sentinel.
