The juveniles of the West village and
vicinity are enjoying nice little sing
ing school under the very efficient leader
ship of Mr.. A. B. Sargent He opened
his class few weeks ago, composed
principally of children, number of
whom had but little more knowledge of
written music than of Hebrew, and now,
after some twelve or fourteen lessons
they are able, not only to read, but to
sing ordinary church tunes. Monday
eve, NOV. %. Mr.. Sargent marched his
little band of warblers in triumph into
the new church, where, assisted by
few of the older singers, he gave to the
people of this community as grand
concert as it is often their privilege to
attend. The concert consisted of solos,
quartettes, songs, ETC., few tableaus
being introduced for seasoning. 1t was
all good, decidedly. We would mention
particularly the four tableaus entitled
1.-The happiest time" They were in
deed most wondrously beautiful. One
hardly knew whether to laugh or cry.
The accompanying song rendered in the
rich, mellow alto of Miss Nettie Darling,
was sufficient to move the heart of any
one. We would also mention the song
by 'the boss" Mr.. Sargent, and others
by Miss Jennie McClary and Mrs. Clara
Sanders. We are happy to say that the
proceeds of the concert are to be appro-
priated to the extension of the school.
