MUSICAL ASSOCIATION.

commencing Tuesday, Jan. 9Th, and
closing Friday evening, Jan. 8th, with
concerts Thursday and Friday evenings.
Prof j. o. Emerson has been engag-
ed as director, and Mr.. ] p. Cobb Of |
Boston, as pianist and comic soloist.
Prof. Emerson is too we'll known in this
county to need any introduction, stand |
ing as he does at the head of his profess
sion as Il musical composer and director.
MIR. Cobb is not so we'll known here,
having never appeared before an Orleans
County audience, though he has several
times sung in Vermont, at st. Adams,
Rutland, ETC., and is as we'll known in
musical circles as Prof Emerson. He is
not only frst-class pianist, but an in
imitabe humorist, probably second
to no comic singer in the country
except Barnaby. His performances are
not of the low order, common among So
called comic singers, but he will make
you laugh in spite of yourself, without
offending the most fastidious taste, and
YOU will be sure to want him to "do it
again" 1t will be seen that an enter
tainment of the very highest order will
be furnished at the concerts, as we'll as
the best of instruction during the con-
vention, and we hope that all lovers of
music will make their plans to be pres
ent. 1t is expected that the citizens of
Barton will entertain singers attending
the convention, free of charge, and that
arrangements will be made for the ac-
commodation of those who prefer to 60
to the hotel at reduced rates. Prof. En-
erson will furnish books for use of con.
vention. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
