CHARMING ENTERrA1NMENT.-We have
only opportunity to refer briefly to the Wed>
nesday night entertainment, at "Charles
Washington Hail." for the benefit of the
Ripon (EpiscopaD Church, and what We
know of it is 'hearsay" The programme
was we'll chosen, and throughout admirably
rendered. The costumes were rich, beauti.
full and tasteful. Miss Birdie Hilleary, Of
Pleasant Valley, Maryland, a niece of Jno.
j. Hilleary, Esq, of this county, seems to
have flown away with the hearts of the au>
dence by the charming grace and natural"
ness of her manner and the bewitching
beauty of her face and voice-the latter
carolled forth as sweety as any Birdie could,
possibly. Miss Estelle Castleman, daughter
of Henry ". Castleman, Esq, and her broth>
ers, sang trio which was greatly admired
for the faultessness of its execution and the
exquisite harmony of the voices. Miss An
ME Eichelberger, daughter of George W.
Eichelterger. Esq of this county, and M ISIS
Billings, of Winchester, presided, principally,
at the Piano, and gave rare exhibition of
proficiency. Miss Edith Hiileary, daughter
of Mr.. Jno j. Hilleary, and Miss Mamie
Thomson, daughter of Jno. A. Thomson,
Esq, sang s.Swallows' Homeland we VEN
ture the assertion they never went home to
more delightful strains. "The Gypsy Count
ess" was rendered in character by Miss
Birdie Hileary and DR.. Howard Osburn,
and was so admirably executed as to evoke
an enthusiastic encore. An Piano and Violin
Duet by Miss Annie Eicheberger and Mr..
Frank Osburn, Jr., was exquisitely rendered.
Dr. Howard Osburn's rich, mellow baritone
shown to advantage in "Eleen Alana'"
Miss Mamie Thomson in a charade persona
ted the Politician, and did it to perfection.
Of fha
Court of Appeal, kindly consented to read
'The One Horse Chaise," and it alone was
worth the admission fee. Good reading is
rare accomplishment and Mr. Long hes at
tanned an enviabe approximation to perfec>
ton in the art. Nlr. Blake, of Maryland,
read the "Flying Machine" and convulsed
an appreciative audience. The Tableaux
Vivants were we'll conceived and beautiful.
