A RARE MUSICAL TREAT.-The En-
;erpriSc Of this morning has the follow
Ing, under the heading Of Melody on
the Midnight Air."
There was much music, vocal and
instrumental, ailoat upon the midnight
breeze last night. The sound, In the
stiffness, was most enchanting. 1t APP
peared to come from the direction OF
the Methodist Church, where. we pre-
sumo, n band of Sweet singers in
Israel were practicing for the coming
concert at the Opera House, or for the
Fourth"
In explanation of the above, We will
state that .he vocal and instrumental
music which completely fascinated and
enraptured everybody within hearing,
emanated from 4 small party of ltal-
ians who were out serenading their
friends under the direction of the cele-
brated and accomplished professors
Joseph and Cnsari Caspari. To these
gentlemen we return u heartiest
thanks for the compliment paid us in
playing and singing n number OF eS-
auisitely beautiful airs in close proN-
Unity to the room of "ye lonely re-
porter" When first aroused from our
slumbers by the enchanting melody,
we labored under the pleasing delu.
sion that Calliope. Melpomene, Gu
terpe, and all of the. musical dlvinitics
had put in an appearance on Earth.
Senior CpSari Caspari's performances
on the clarionet are absolutely sublime.
Joseph, his brother, Is also 4 master
musician, and another Of the serenad-
ers whose name we do not now re-
member. also displayed marked abili'
lity In the divine art. In conclusion,
we will add that our only fear Is that
Virginia and Gold Hill will not he
able to furnish sufficient attractions to
detain long In our midst such eminent
artists as the Casparis.
