choir, would have been quite creditable IN
a large city. After the sermon, the Board
Of Trustees accepted an invitation TO dine
with the lady Principal Of the Institution,
Mrs. sallie c. Truehesrt; and at night, Mr..
Deering favored our citizens with another
excellent sermon at the Methodist Church.
During the week, the Music Class, under
the tuition Of Miss Jennie ID. Apperson,
had been practicing the various songs and
instrumental pieces to he performed and
sung on Wednesday night before the pub
lie. Long before the hour, r. NJ, arriv-
ed, the large Circuit Court Chamber was
filed with citizens OF town and county and
many from adjoining towns and counties,
came to enjoy the rare musica treat which
was In store for them. The music class Is
the largest that ever attended in any ses-
sion, and the progress made by them, is all
that teacher or parent should desire. The
Wednesday night Soiree has been looked
forward to, for several weeks past, with ieel-
ings Of gladness by all who have attended
these Annual exhibitions Of musical genius
and skill. The attempt 20 give any thing
ike correct account Of the duets, solos,
marches, songs, ETC., which were sung and
rendered, would he an idle one, for il is not
possible to express in words, that which so
much delighted the ears. The Programme
embraced some vf the most beautiful and
difficult songs and instrumental pieces
which are now fashionable and new in the
musical circles Of the day, and their rendi-
ton was perfect, no far as We are able to
Judge. We have heard a number Of per-
sons say that this was the best Concert ever
given by the pupils Of this College. No
great display was made in the programme
BY high sounding titles OF pieces from the
great COMPOSER, but each young lady, or
trio, or quarte,te, had such pieces and
songs selected for them, as were adapted to
their genius Hence, the fautless il
rendition Of each one. Where all did we'll,
would seem like pariialiiy to parti cular-
ize, but We cannot refrain from mentioning
lew pieces which struck us as specially
excellent. The vocal Duet, 81 know a
Bank"-sung by Misses Jennie Carson and
Florence Trueheart, was as sweet as the
tinkle Of silver bells, and following imme-
diaiely after the Grand March De-Con-
cert" a quartette by Mrs. Overstreet, and
Misses Withers, Davis and Grow, was tit-
ting echo TO the deeper sounds Of the
March" Misses Fanny Reid and Bette
/ Davis, who looked like twin roses ON one
stem, performed in an admirable manner,
Gottschalk's duet. "o Jos. Creoles" Lit
tie Maggie Harms, in the unique and fairy
like costume Of Spanish Orange girl, de-
lighted the audience aud drought down
the house." when she sung so exquisitely,
the ''Song Of the Spanish Orange Girl"
Little Maggie received the hearty congrat-
ulations Of many kind friends, who, on
account OF her tender years, and 1t being
the frs, time she ever sung in public, were
astonished at the admirable manner in
which she acquitted herself.
All of the vocal duets were charming,
and the one entitled "Pny tell me the wish
Of thy Heart" sung by Misses Lille Car
son and Florence Trueheart, was beautiful
in both music and poetry. One of the
finest efforts on the piano during the eve
ming, was a duet by Weber, performe by
Misses Rosa Richards and 5. Smith. In
our opinion, it would be difficult for any
