Annual Meeting of the Union Musi-
cal tssOCiatiOn.
rouIyNEY, Feb. goth, 1858.
THIRD DAY.

Editors Rq.ldad Herald The day has
been completely ohorming-one could not
wish for a lovelier, and our work and sue
cess, unsteady, have been equally cheer
Jul and satisfactory. The morning ses-
sion was opened, as on every day, with
reading portion Of Scripture, a hymn
and prayer. The morning and afternoon
sessions were occupied as usual with in
,truction and chorus drill, and the evening
concert told that it had been close and ef-
fcient. At $50 p. m the house was filed
with what appeared, as it proved to be, an
intelligent and appreciative audience.
Messrs Editors, three hours will develop
the quality of any audience, and the fact
that this audience continued to pay un-
wearied attention TO the last, and then,
too, were persistent in the encore, goes
further to announce also the character u
the concer. than any mere collection of
adjectives could do. The chorus per-
formed nobly, and did honor to their
leader. Messrs Tucker Of Hartford, Vt,
Cotton of Fairhaven, Clark Of Poultucy,
Humphrey of the same place and Edger-
ton of Pawlet sung, with as much spirit
as if they'd been playing it. Catch ii
on the Fly Mossrs Crowningshield,
Humphrey and Lewis of Poultney, and
Savage Of North Granville, rendered beau
Iifullv, Sweet and Low Misses Camp
bell of Poulney, Stcarns of Castleton, and
Mcssrs. Tucker Of Hartford, and Cotton
Of Tairhaven, gave us Star of my Life. >
Miss Campbell and Miss Gilman OF Salem
and Messrs. Joslin and Humphrey Of
Poultney, brought to us pleasant rccoliec-
tons Of Mr. D. b. Morley, in Deep Roll
ing River" Miss Baldwin of Fairhaven
sung pleasantly cayatina, and Miss Bar
ney of Rutland disclosed voice rich and
feeling in "Sleep, my Darling Mrs

treat, performed on the guitar. 1t wa.
Sc exquisite a triumph Of art that the au.
dience would only let him off after he had
assured them that he would be with Us
again tomorrow night. Messrs. Edger-
ton and Lewis, on call, repeated and null
tiplied and whistled CLASSIC duet, az
companied by the yiolincello, after which
the audience insisted that they too be
present tomorrow night which they
promised. With the hymn tune "Jcrusa-
lem, my Glorious Home the concert con-
cluded at half-past ten. Tomorrow night
comes the concluding concert.

o'clock, fire broke out in the tin shop OF
Grant & Standish, in North Granville, n.
Y, completely destroying the building,
all the stock, tools and goods of the firm.
The wind was blowing quite stifiiy from

eating to the neighboring buildings.
These were mainly of wood and change

caused the destruction of the whole vii
lage.
