all mouths Shs seems to have fairly
captivated our community by her bird
like purity Of tone a4d sweetness of voice
and manners. She completely reversed
the Old adage that "a prophet is not with
out honor sav5 in his own country" In
singing the oil Scotch sir "Within mile
of Edinboro' town" she received tie IS
pecial compliment Of applause 4 ,l.a nd
of esch stanza, and in recognition d the
encore At the end Of the song repeated the
last verse. She next sulg Thou Every
where" with flute obiiga5c admirably
executed Dir. Baxter, accompanied by
Mr.. Moore. which was enccrrd, vhen
they favored the audience with " a
new fresh bird song by soIasbszy who
knows how to write songs to rleseo an
audience. The "Italian }Ta..z," Mrs.
divers last song on the p1oeramme, was
also something new to Bstlsnd audi
enoe, and the most difficult bit Of execu-
ton We have known this lady TO have
ever attempted. She was again enco-ed,
and in response sung waiting" by Will
lard, taking the high E in the c1depza
with perfect ease and precision.
The degree o. excellence in singing to
which this lady has attained as an anna
teur is we think something remarkable,
and justly deserving Of hearty common
datioD.
Mr.. Moore was quite to sparipg of his
solo playing to fully satisfy his audience.
He played but once during the evening.
We cannot give the title of The deli
cate moreeux he favored US with, but it
was exq1isitly rendered as is everything
he performs. He is a great favorite with
Rutlanders, and cannot come among US
| too often.
We enjoyed an unwonted pleasure in
listening as we have not in years before
to Mr.. Baxter's liquid flute. He per-
formed an overture from one Of the Ital-
ian operas delightfully."- If it was as easy
to play the flute as he makes it seem, we
should all be futists. "May his shadow
never Be less"
Last, not least we desire to say few
words in honest praise of what has been
accomplished by our Rutland Choral So
ciety Aad Just here we cannot give too
much credit to Mr.. R. J. Humphrey, their
excellent aud indefatigable conductor.
He has been identified with the society
from It's beginning, and without promise
of rewsr / has labored necessarily for it's
welfare. From feeble beginnings he has
seen The society come to be one of the es-
tabli,Aei Institutions Of Cur county.
Their performance last night was truly
gratifying to all who listened. They
showed narked improvement since their
las spEearance not long ego at the same
place. They sing in better tune, and the
save'o} pslts were much Iaore cycnly bal
AGED .aaa yer before.
We .jcsa that many fearful eyes bore
/ testimony t. their effective singing
amo-g the cider portion Of the audience

tnce ithout a word or hint, voluntarily
rose and joined n our sublime national
