- Mrs. DR.. Noble of Chester, gave
Reading at the Baptist church on Tues
day evening, to much smaller audience,
we are sure, than would have appeared,
if her merits and true excellence had
been fully known. Her rendering of sew
eral pieces was very fLe and certainly
could not fail to please and be attractive
even to those who may think they have
no appreciation of such literary enter
tainment. Her manner was pleasing,
aer voice flexible, her personation of
character exceedingly good, and the
Fl changes from the pathetic to the humor-
Gus, grave to comic, &e, were all receiv-
ed with much favor. The sharpest
points of scene from Sheridan's school
for Scandal" (Sir Tease) l." Trobridge's
Three Wrens, Carleton's " New
Church Organ" &c, vera well brought
out while the 1854. Psalm, " Mother
\ al
could not fail TO touch down deep in the
heart. Mrs. Noble has wonderful pow
ers and the world could not fail to be
better if such were more generally diff
fused.
