BLIND Tom, the Musical prodigy, gave one of
his interesting entertainments in the Town Hall,
to the largest audience we have ever seen assem-
bled there on Friday night last. Tom is pure
specimen of the African genus, seemingly 20 or
80 years of age and truly, for effect, perfect
idiot, save when seated at his favorite nstru-
ment, the Piano He then exhibits his wonder
full genious, whether in playing with marked
accuracy and brilliant execution the most diff
icult productions of the Gold Masters, or in his
inimitable limitations of the banjo, guitar, music
box, or in his faithful rendition of the sim pie
but singular melodies peculiar to the plan tations
of the South, where he was born and raised
He exhibited his wonderful powers in several
ways, first, by listening; with idiotic contorions,
to an original and unwritten composition, of
some length, performed by Prof. Richard, of the
Virginia Female Institute, and Immediately play
ng it through with remarkable accuracy
Most singular was his ability to spell, from
sounds struck upon the piano, the name of any
article held up in the audience, when many
letters used are not found in the musical scale.
He is indeed prodigy in the musical line,
and our only regret is that our many readers
were unable to be present, and hear and see for
themselves.
