The use of carpetings may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel. lence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Go, of Bridgeport, are said to make the hest Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country. Messrs HALL < READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brusselis carpets in the state. Hail < Read also enjoy deserved reputation for selling all classes of Dry Goods at the lowest market rates.

FROM A PERFORMER POINT OF VIEW.

AAoAA n 4Ss1hr OnmEh EOlNF OF VIEW. I 1wouder if any among tue large audi ence which was present at the coDcert on the 2Sth of February, thought of the "'training" which the orchestra and cho- rus, more especially the latter, had to un- l dergo. before they were thought qualified to appear in public. wonder if any thought of the countless number of times each piece had to be gone over before the chorus was able to render 1t with so much " SD Tit and accnracy"--to to quote the En- quirer.
 To many of the performers the wr.tr fsneiutled these many pfaetisings were pleasure. but to some they were directly the opposite. It was by no means an en- joyment to them, to toii through rain and ] snow; thick fog. and intense cold, week after week. to sing over and over again the same old tunes. But they knew that every voice helped out ths chorus, and felt It their duty to go. To these the Cir cuiating Library ought to be especially thankful. .f1as 3 -. Very many, however, enjoyed the tunes more each time they were supg. and all, I think, were well satisfied with the con cert. as all felt 1t to be complete success. Of the instrumental pieces. the o,er- lures to Tampa and the Poet and Peasant probably pleased the audience the most, and the favor,te choruses appeared to be the Boat Song While all is hushed," aud 'Crown'd with the Tempest" as they were the only ones which received an encore The latter chorus WAS csrtain'y the favor lte of the singers. as it seemed to sweep them along like A veritab Tempest, besides giving them an opportunity to strengthen their lungs by singing at the top of their voices.
 think that the public are too apt to regard Wagner's operas as mass of crash heari the beautiful Bridal Chorus" from by no means the case.
 Telling" from Haydn's Oratorio of the Creation. although fine piece, proba- ply did not please the audience as we'll as the others, as it is more ''classic ,l'' chorus than any of the other fodr which were sung.
 Of the Solos, Trios, etc.. I do not need to speak. Two of the prctiest pieces sung were Mrs. How's Water Song," and the Trio "On Thee each Living Soul awaits"
 Every one was pleased to notice new accession to the ranks of the instrumental. performers. All had heard of the skill of this young man as musician, but few had before. had an opportunity to hear him play. owing to his retiring disposition.
 Iu short, we think that every one who attended the concert feels ready 10 say with Charles Mayne Young's footmal, that " the performers in the performance per formed the performance very we'll"
