Musical Entertainment.

On last Friday evening, by the polite in
vitation of Prof. Sullivan, we found ourself
at Central College to listen to an excellent
musical programme arranged by Mrs. Cover
for her pupils, assisted by herself, Miss
.Morehead, and Messrs. Smith and Conner.
The quartette, go. Hush thee, my Baby
being the first piece. and some little timi.ity
prevailing. possibly. was not so we'll render
ed as subsequent pieces, but was still enjoy
able. Miss Chilton's piano solo. "Sounds
from the Alps" showed cultivation and
taste, and wa we'll executed. The duet
sung by Misses Winsor and Wood, "What
are the Wild Waves SAYING wss very
sweet. Both the young ladies Sang well,
but their embarrassment prevented their
rendering it as well as they could have done.
Miss Winsor's voice is n susceptible OF
culture, beh full and melodlous. The Duet
from Mendelsohn, by Misses Chiffon and
piano solo, by Miss GOode, was ratified of IN
very good style. The qnartette, ''Come
where my Love lies Dr. Sling,' was most
excellently sung by Miss Morehead, Mrs.
Cover, MIR. Conner and MIR. Smith. The
voices were in accord, and the full melodious
notes of Mrs. Covers voice were especially
noticeable throughout Its. execution. Miss
Pattison's Unlocking Bird'' was well played,
The piano Duet from 'sllr Trovetore,' wal
well executed by Misses Chiffon and Goode,
Mrs. Cover, and Miss Morehead sung "Holy
Mother Guide his Footst cps" very sweetly
and the best wine having been kept for the
last, the evenings entertainment was con
cluded with the solo 'Una Voca Pocs fa.'
In this song Mrs. Cover had full sway to eX
hibit the scope and melody of her voice, ant
the audience Was agreeably surprised in it
The rich Italian words free from the hissln:
esses Of our English tongue, and melodiou
with vowels, is truly the language Of song
We were really astonished to find Mrs. Cow
er's scholars so well trained AS we have Otter
heard worse music than theirs at adult con
certs. As for her culture in the gentl
art, 1t is all that could be asked. The occa
sion Was q treat to us, AMI will, 40 doubt
be of benefit to her class.

Hill, in Sedalia, last week. Five of these

held that it had been proven that this fund
might be drawn on for any purpose. The
