The steamer Andes arrived at the
wharf last evening ut about o'clock,
having on board the Wiesel Musical In
slilule Of Wheeling, numbering iifty-twO,
with subscribing members, and accom-
panied by very large assemblage of the
elite Of Wheeling, numbering some three
hundred personalities and gentlemen.
From the wharf they repaired to the hall,
where their seats had been secured pre-
yiOusly, and their merry procession
through the streets diverted attention for
the moment even from the flaming OK
element that prevailed in all quarters
over our municipal election, The mem-
hers Of the Institute and guests were I'M
fortunately not received by our citizens
with that high courtesy that We claim rs
characteristic OF our city, owing to last
evening being the close Of our local cleo
ton day. So actively contested had been
the ballotting during the day, and no
numerous aud violent were speCulatiOns
and prophecies M to the result towards
evening that by nightiall political com.
motion was at fever heat, and was he all
absorbing topic Of thought and action IN
all circles. Despite this, however, u full
house greeted the Institute ut tho hall,
and at $ II. NJ. the performance COM
menced. The entire rendition Of tho pro-
grammc was excellent, and We regret that
space to-day will not allow us to pro.
nouncc at length OH the special merits Of
each, and willhave to give but synopsis
VI the exercises.
The first chorus, "Tannhauser," was
good, ~ was the "Overture Tancrcdp
which followed, fully revealing tho we'll
trained powers Of the members, The
"Chaplet OF Roses" might be pronounced
the gem Of the evening, III this Miss
lsOmer carried the air with exceeding
sweetness, wellSuppOrted by Misses Hub
bard and Sawtell, and also by MCssrs
Martin, MendCll and Donel, Tho violin
solo "l.e Petit Tambour," was creditable
to Mr.. L. Vaas, though probably not
brought out with that full vigor Of which
the piece Is susceptible. AsOlo, "Grand
Valse Brilliante," by Mis- Sallie Camp
bell, was rendered IN aquitc spirited MAN.
ncr, aud the quartettc following, "The
Parting Kiss" was certainly very good.
The Fourth street NJ. Il. choir received
great credit for their rendition Of the
chorus, ave Verum," and justly dc;
served il, Ms II was indeed MI excellent
production. The solo by DR.. Martin was
iirst class, and hc was loudly encurGd,
singing second piece in response. The
Doctor certainly reveals talents OF very
high order Of cultivation. A piano solo
by Prof. Ebeling, "lsussian Airs" exhibit.
cd close study, and the solo following
from "Favoriia," by Mrs. Q. i. Whitney,
was also tastefnlly given. Succeeding
this was II most delightful trio on the
violin, piano and organ, by Miss Logan
on the piano, Mr.. BasseLL on the organ
and Mr.. Shockcy Oh the violin. The solo
itErl King" was we'll rendered by Mrs
Whitaker, after which the cOncOrt closed
with the chorus Of "The Gypsies," by the
Institute and orchestra, which was very
fine. ..r.. 49,,
The whole concert received high cii'
Coniums from our citizens 10 whom II
afforded much pleasure, aud they author
ize ia to return thanks to the Institute
for the favor, and invite them to return
again.
The Wiescl Institute is All amateur so.
Ciety Of Wheeling, incorporated, and /.
kept up by number Of their leading cit
zens subscribing $40 annually towards it'
support, and Is n high intellectual orna
ment to that city.
