The children's concert was on Thursday

held here. The children sang their songs
in a manner alike creditable TO themselves
and their instructors. Some of the chorus
es were particularly well rendered, and
elected prolonged applause.

length of this concert and will have to be
content with a mere mention of part of the
programme. "A. Little Cripple Boy"
Sucking Cider Through Straw, 'The

Ing" and killing the Rooster" were some
of the many. Altogether il was an ex-
tremely pleasant affair and We opine was
the best concert Of the two.

| a fee Of the youths handsome. Atprecise-
Iy half past sevea o'clock the class marched
In to the pauline Polka" and ranged
themselves in places.

wore a ''sky-scrapIng" bonnet, we are IN
able to give the description desired.

ment. -Four gentlemen took their places
TO sing, when one of them suddenly dis
covered that he had the wrong book and
incontinently retired. The others, after
a vain search for the place, retired one
after another, VIXEN, while the house was
ringing with peal after peal OF laughter,
the Professor announced That the last

Il was a complete surprise, and the mer-
riment it created ,sas sufficient evidence
