SOIREE AT THE AUGUSTA FEMALE
SEMINARY.-Th first soiree of the season
at the Augusta Female Seminary was givel
on Saturday evening last, and whoever ar
ranged the programme deserves good
many thanks, for it was one of the most
popular we have heard for a long time
In the musical division of it, the solo and
and chorus from Hayden's oratorio of 'sThe
Creation, F." was we'll done, the solo being
sung by Misses B. R ,bnrt AMI M. Herring.
The beautiful solo Goodnight, Farewell"
by Kucken, sung by Misses NJ. Skunk and
M. Lancaster was very nicely sung, but
not so enjoyable as if had been sung by
either of the young ladies aloue. The
scena and solo from Der Freychutz, by
Misses E. Oliver and M. Fletcher was also
very good. The most enjoyable vocal
piece of the evening was the Miserere from
Trovatore. the solo parts by Misses B. Rob-
ert and J. Forsythe. 1t was something with
which every one in the audience was fatnil-
lar and was the more welcome from he ing
capitally sung, though we don't intend to
look over the way that grace note was sung
10y Maurice. In such a perfect wall of
sorrow as ''Qui la morte" it Should be
very wonderful singer indeed who should
be bold enough to read it differently from
the written music. Of the instrumental
music, the trio from Bellisaro was
just perfection, and will not soon be for
gotten. 1t was performed " Prof. Knrber
ON the clarionet, Prof. Walter on the horn,
Miss NJ. Pou at the piano and Miss S.
Mathews at the organ. The recitations
we've nearly all good, the best being Ham
let's interview with the ghost, given in
French by Miss T.. Harris, and the next
best being the ''Lost Heir" recited with
admirable tas and action by Miss
A. Soffoid. The little dialogue of 'sCross
Purposes" by Misses NJ. Albert, N. More
land, Mag McChesney and Nellie Tate, was
quite amusing,-the children entering into
the humorous stu tions of the piece with
great spirit. the calsthenicS of the eve
ming We're received with hearty applause,
and well deserved it. The exceeding grace
OF the pastures and the wonderful pre-
cision of the movements excited the undual-
lied admiration Of the audience. Some
of the marching excited Il str N su spcion
that some of the girls had been in the
regular army. so completely had they
mastered that undefnable grace that is to
be found in the military route step.
