which he invited them in TO take possession oil

operas and classical composers, the church was

We have spoken before of Miss Kelly and Mr.
Surpless Considering the comparatively short
time during which they have been engaged in
their profession they are among the finest singers
that we have ever heard. They reach the most
difficult notes with perfect ease, aud the audience
do not zee that painful effort so unpleasant in
many Of our good singers. Miss Fosters voice
has not the compass Of Miss keltys, but never
have we heard one more meodious They all
have sung at the different churches and have
added much 10 the attractions OF our pcnies and
political meetings. They have made many friends
during the summer, who wish them safe return
