The inmates Of this institution were the recip-
tents of another rich treat, in the shape of grand
vocal and instrumental concert, which took place
on Thursday evening, the 18th inst, under the
auspices OF The Home Band. Prof. I. w. Wales,
leader. In connection with the band the follow
ing ladies and gentlemen favored the "boys in
blue" with choice selection Of quartettes, solos,
and choruses. Duets, &C.: Soprano, Miss II. NJ.
Decker; alto, Mrs. A. II. Davis; tenor, Mr.. A. II.
Davis, all of Hallowell; bass, Mr.. s. +. Turner,
member of the Home Band; pianist Miss Eta
Colburn of Hsllowell. In speaking of the baud,
we will only add, that its performances are gener-
ally considered as A No. |. The rendition of the
overtures "Tancredi," "LeDademe," and the
"Scena and Aria-I' Masnsderi," would challenge
the severest of musical critics. The clarionette
solo, Ode Beriot's Seventh Air), performed by Mr.,
John Calnum, was received with rapturous ap-
plause. Among the vocal pieces performed by
our friends from Hallowe and worthy of special
mention. was the Battle Prayer" (tenor solo) by
Mr.. Davis; duet (tenor and soprano) by Miss
Decker and Mr.. Davis, entitled moonlight, mu-
sic, love and flowers" The solo "Chalet Horn, l"
sung by Miss Decker, with cornet accompaniment
bv Prof Wales, was rendered in splendid style.
Miss Eta Colburn favored the audience with two
piano solos, proving her ability as fine per-
former.
