EDIroR CHRONICLE: desire through
your columns to call attention 10 tho
( Trumbull County Musical Association,
which held its first annual convention
since its oganization, at this place, COM
mencing on Monday, the 9th inst, and
holding four days. This Association
was organized in last September, by the
adoption OF a constitution and bylaws
and the election OF proper officers. The
Association holds two conventions each
year. one in February, the other in Sep
TENDER. or at the call Of the officers.
TIE n in February is called the regu-
lar annual session, at which the officers
are chosen for the year. The officers for
the year just begun are as follows:
Pres. Orlow Wolcott, West Farmingtoni
Sec, Mrs. Warren Maltby, Bristol /;
Treas, c. c. Case, Gustavus. The ses-
sion at this place was in every respect a
grand success, about two hundred were
in daily attendance, of which about one
hundred and seventy were members.
The growing interest in the Association
and the popularity Of the leader, Prof
P. p. Bliss, Of Chicago, who had so ably
conducted the convention held by the
Association at ~Bristolville, in the fall,
called out the best talent Of the county.
Mr.. Bliss is in every respect a superior
leader. A fine form, pleasing address,
ready wit, a perfect mastery Of the art,
and an ardent love for his profession
combine with a high moral tor Of feel
ing to render his teachings acceptable IN
the highest degree to those around him.
It has been the pleasure Of the writer TO
attend a large number Of County, Dis
trict and State meetings Of various kinds,
including a convention or normal school
held by the great musical leader and
author, Bassiui, at Dayton, o., yet have
I never witnessed such a harmonious,
enthusiastic, and thoroughly successful
meeting as this. A grand concert was
on Friday evening IN q new
sudiencs room OF the NJ. F. c, which
Intended bv over five hundred lis
teners who were fairly packed into the
rnom- and a large M were uuauto
10 rsin admittance. Resolutions or
thanks were passed, expressing gTaLi-
tude TO parties who had contributed 70
the success Of the convention, also ex-
pressive Of the high appreciation OF the
Association for their conductor and as
suriug him that should he ever return 10
lead them, they would extend to him a
cordial welcome. The next session will
probably be held in September, at the
Of the officers. Every singer in the
will do well to make his arrange
menus to be present. The members are
entertained 6y the people free Of charge.
Hence the only expense IS the price Or
tickets. Gentlemen 500. Ladies Sl.0O.
The new NJ. L. C., is receiving the
finishing touches. The upper room is
being frescOcd by company from CleVe-
land.
The lecture on last Wednesday even
ing, before the students Of the Seminary
by Prof. H. Z. Johnson, on the subject
Among the Storms, was listened 10 by a
full house. Nj. J. gave a very clear and
instructive description Of the origin,
movements and effects OF storms, intro
ducing his remarks by a few observa-
tons upon Z storms matrimonial, WITH
which eighteen year. Of matrlmOulal
life had rendered him somewhat IA
