admirably rendered and elected bursts Of
laughter aud applause. The best desorip-
tion Of the piece we can give, Is that
which was read for. the audience before
the song was commenced. "The soprano

Miss Anna Lynch's singing Of "Bel Rag
gio," from RosSini's Scmiramids, was ar
tistic. This young lady has a wonderfully
flexible, high and clear soprano voice, and
will, with time and further culture, be
able to surpass many distinguished pro-
iessional singers. Extreme modesty in
duced tho head fthe musical department,
who composed the lovely Coronation ode
for the occasion, to introduce q couple Of
measures from Beethoven, so that she
might be able to give Beethoven the hon.
or due to herself.
Besides the music theaudience were en-.
tertained with the reading OF some fine
compositions. An Analysis Of Schu-
msnn's Compositions" written by one Of
the.teachers, showed a thorough apprecia-
ton and perfect understanding Of this

the young lady being quite iAvorite
among the girls, and saying farewell after
several years residence at the school,
made 1t so much the more affecting. "The

little specimen ofpoetic prose, in which

was ignored, and the tears of the Angels
shed during the night for the sins Of men
were shown us, glisteping on the fresh
leaves and grass in the bright morning
