WALNUT STREET PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH, was the scene Of a very
pleasant and successful entertainment
on Monday night--a genuine Musical
and Literary Festival. gotten up for
the benefit of the Sunday School Lii
brary. The audience was not only
large, but was exceedingly elegant and
refined, and the deepest interest was
manifested in the exercises, consisting
of music. Rotations. colleagues and
declarations, all of which were admir-
ably performed, aud were received by
the audience with the most hearty
manifestations of appreciation. Many
of the songs and Rotations we're
by very little children, whose infantile
voices and happy execution lent q
charm that was really delightful.
There were also several performances
by adults, such as the solo, Star of
Love-" by Mrs. G. X. Drew, in her
almost faultlcss style; the grafton,
THE Value of Little Things" by
master Henry Babcoek; a solo by
Mrs. Lizzie Shanklin; a duet on
piano and violin, by Mrs. J. w. Eos
ter and Mr.. Russell; the Christians
Christmas Tree, an alegorical repre-
sentation, by Mrs. G. E. Baker. and
Glass Trio, by Mrs. Shanklin, Hynes
and Butter6eld; the recitation,
entitled Prayer and Potatoes" by
Master Alex. Gow-one of the most
interesting and instructive exercises
Of the evening-admirably delivered,
and the opening chorus, and the
closing glee, by the choir, were all
beautifully and we'll executed, receiv-
ing warm and enthusiastic applause.
1t was. altogether, one of the most
rational and pleasant entertainments
to which our people have been treat
ed this winter, and we hope something
similar will be presented often here
after.
