/ THE CoNCERT.-On Wednesday evening
our music loving people (Which, from the
appearance of the audience, does not con
stitute any thing appoximating moiety of
the citizens of Elkton} enjoyed treat of
rare excellence. Many untoward circum-
stances, calculated to lead us to expect
thin house, existed the snow, the intense
cold, the slippery walking, etc; but we are
quite sure had the stay themes had the
fainteSt idea of the merit of the perform
ance to be given, they would have braved
all these and been on hand. AS it was,
however. the seats were well filled, nearly
three hundred appreciative listeners being
present. Though a lover of good music,
we make no pretcnse to the role of 4 critic,
yet it is our humble opinion that even the
most uncultivated ear could not fail to have
discerned in the performers thoroughly
| trained artists. The troupe consisted en-
tirely of ladies and gentlemen from Phila
delphia, who volunteered for the occasion.
/ Dr. II. G. Register, to whom those who
were present surely owe many thanks, I'M
/ aided secured the services of the perform
ers and arranged all details. There were
/ ten participants and twenty pieces on the
programme, all of which were rendered.
Mrs. Behrens sang in her usual mas
! terly manner; as from time to time we
| have heard this lady it seems new charms
| have been added to her voice. Miss Tillie
! Forney, handsome young lady, possesses
one of the sweetest bird-lik voices we
| have ever heard. not so powerful as many:
but certainly no lover of music could fail to
experience thrills of pleasure while listen
/ ing to her. Of the merits of Miss Florence
| Davenport, as a master of the art musical,
ADLER pens than ours have failed to render
her the need of praise due. Aside from
her rare talent as a vocalist, she is a most
charming young lady, and, on Wednesday
/ evening, aged sad havoc with the hearts
! of many a rustic swain. Miss Helen Phelps
played spenddly. OF the gentlemen, MIR.
! Elliott, pianist, Mr.. Tingly, tenor, and Dir.
! II. c. Register, basso, were much admired.
/ Much merriment was cccasioned by the
comic piece sang by the latter Mr.. II. r.
! Barnhurst, baSSo, was, however, the favor
| lite. He has full voice under the most
/ thorough command. and rendered all his
! pieces with pleasing expression. He may
be put down as an Elkton favorite. Mr..

were we'll received, and loudly encored.
Altogether it was one of, if not the most
pleasing and successful entertainments ever
| given in our town; and we feel sure the
| audience join us in thanks to the ladies
and gentlemen participating, and the com
mittee in charge, for such rare evenings
