In The. JOURNAL of last week mention
was made OF concert shortly to De given
in Mentor. Below we. present the pro-
grammei as it is to be given Thursday
evening next, Aug. 21st- The performers
are all pupils, of Professor Hamlen, and
it speaks volumes for his abilities as a
teacher that SO large a number OF his
scholars should be able TO take part in a
public exhibition of this kind and should
be qualified toirender their parts in so ex-
cellent manner as we feel confident they
will do in the coming concert. Miss S. A.
Palmer of. this place and Miss Libbie An
derson Of Ashtabula are to assist Profes-
for Hamlin and his pupils, SO that it is
scarcely necessary to add another word
las. TO the pleasure certain to be enjoyed
by those who attend. 4iHtFs
