Female Seminary, to listen tn 4 rehearsal by
the music scholars, under the direction OF Prot.

parents Of the young ladies', who took part IN
the performances together with thelr friends,
but the musical treat presented well deserved 4

were only beginners, they did credit to their
instructor in the observance Of accurate time,
aud in the expression with which the pieces
were rendered.

The unfeicned delight OF the audience vas
most emphatically expressed, however, at the OK
uuisite rendering OF the Mazourka song, Spring
Fours" BY Mrs. Hair, aud of the beautiful
melodies of Anne BOleyn, hv Mrs. Leearc, and
those who have heard Prof. Hair play need
not be assured that Thalberg's arrangement
from SOmnambula was executed n style
worthy OF that great artist.

artists in our midst 1t is to be hoped that an
opportunity will soon be given to much larger
