THE REJOICING AT CHICAGO.

Chicago, May l0.--The celebration of

therefore every man, woman and child In

a success. The procession was unique in
appearance and immense in length, the

We hope our readers will remember
the Convention of the Northern Yer
mont Musical Association, TO be holden
ut Academy Hall in this village, COM
mcncing tomorrow, Tuesday, January
5th, and closing Friday evening. Mr..
Root, the conductor, though never be-
fore in this part of tie State, is probably
better known rs Il composer than any
man in America. Who has not heard
his" Battle Cry of Freedom, ," " Tramp
Tramp" and that gem of sacred song
MY days are gliding swiftly by" not
to mention great number Of excellent
metrical tunes and substantial chOruscs.
But more t, an this, we are assured by
one intimately acquainted with him
that be is q Christian gentleman in the
fullest sense of the term.
Mr.. Wyman, who is engaged as as.
sistant conductor, j. not so we'll known
to our musical public. He is GOOD
baritone singer, and has written some
fine church tunes, and the fact that Mr..
Root desires his assistance is Il sufficient
guarantee for his fitness. We learn
from those competent to Judge that the
solo talent engaged has never been so
&C cd. Mrs. Smith has no superior as n
soprano in New England, while Mr.. +.
p. Phillips needs no commentator.
Deservedly a good favCritc in this vi
entity, our people will not fail to give
him warm reception after nearly a
years absence, spent in study under as
good an instructor as Boston affords.
Those who have heretofore attended
these annual gathering. will fad that
the II anagers Lave made some improve
ment in the programme for this year.
The conductors, and the music to be used
are entirely new, an attractive feature
which last winters convention did not
afford. They have also very wisely, we
think, seen fit to dispense with hui
morist," probably judging that the price
paid for making grimaces was a good
deal more than the real value Messrs.
Moore, of Burlington Proctor, of this
village; and f. w. Root, are the pi
anists.
With the circular advertising the con.
vention, is published request signed
by many Of our leading citizens, asking
that the convention be held in st. AL
bans. In view of our limited hotel ac
ctmmodation, we suppose this implies
that we are ready to furnish entertain
ment for all who come.
