Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1875-11-13

Ladies' Library Association, We'd
ncsday evening, was well attended,
considering the very unpleasant
weather. The hundred or more per-
SOUS present were well repaid for
vcnturing ont in the storm, by the
excellence of the entertainment.
Miss Woodward read six selections,
in meritOrious manner, some OF
them being rendered in II way which
would compare favorably with read
ings by the best clOcutionists before
the public. Miss Cleveland, in the
songs sung, showed II purity of tone
strength of voice and perfect con
troll of the vocal powers, which sur
prsed and delighted her friend
here who had only heard her sing
in the drawing room or in the par
Tor. The Duet 10y Misses Cleveland
and Hubbard was also well render.
cd. The refreshments were served
in due time, and were of kind
which no doubt caused many to in-
wardIy say "amen" to the express
sion of the little fellow who had been
eating for half an hour, when he
stretched himself up and said, "Oh,
dear, | wish was bigger so could
eat more!' We hope the ladies will
not be discouraged, but will try
again, and il the weather is propi-
tious, we may safely predict full
attendance and a good income of
revenue.
