The Orleans County Musical Conven
ton met as noticed in Monitor, Jan. ID
at Glover last week. Time and spac
will not allow very lengthy, account
) With the exception of the last day, Fri
day. the weather was most favorable, an,
even the great snow storm then did no
prevent the people turning out in larg
: numbers. More than one hundred sing
ers from the county were out. The con
e vention was also favored with the pres
q ence and assistance of several distinguish
e ed singers from abroad Most of GU
< readers will remember the leader. Pro

church. The manner of conducting t
convention adopted by the leader, W
ne the best; the programme for the concel

tn and all through the members of our choi
he and singing classes could not have fail
r. to reap rich harvest, both in the the
Ill ry and practice of music. One rema
of the Prof we liked much, viz: SINCE
ng ought to study the aoordS of piece
let be sung until the language is made tb
ed OaUn. then use the music as a medil
Die through which TO communicate langua
ng to others. Too often are we made W
he nesses OF horrid commingling Of aooi
to give the music the most effect. Al
gether, the gathering was felt to be pr
hit liable beyond almost any other SINH
zen to their homes with the spirit of the /
tn buttons which they adopted.
