 :: MR: EDrToR, The concert by the New Preston Musical Union was given in the Congregati onal church here. last evening. as announeedl in 1theI7 Enquirer, of last week. It was in all respects complete success. The general excellence of the music was to most of those who heard it mostagreeable surprise.a 1 The citizens of Cornwall wee not prepared for an en. tertainment. of SO high, an order, The conductor, Mr. Whittlesey. performed his various parts, especially on theirnew and beautiful organ, to the satisfaction of all. The Union has several voices of more than ordinary sweetness, thorough train ing, considerable culture, and very high promise. Of all their parts there was not 8 single failure, and all were so well ex- ecuted it was only matter of taste to determine which was best. The Union was most ably assisted by several ladies who rank in the highest order of talent in New York. Of these Miss Stoddard, of Brooklyn, and Miss Balinore,a Of New York city, excelled in music, and s'Lizzie Auld" (Mrs. Stanton) in reading and elo- cutioa.3 Each of these ladies. by the brilliant performance of her part, won the admiration and brought down the, cordial and enthusiastic applause of the house. Each very gracefully complied with the repeated and persistent encore .iof the audience. The reading of Mrs. Stanton was greeted with the widest outbursts of ,enthusiasm.3 This lady has all the advan. tages of youth. beatty. voice naturally sweet improved 7byd high cu4turej and, what IS more and better. 1.-the faculty acof throwing her whole soul into her part, ,' SO that on the stage she is no longer Mrs. Stanton but the real and Identical char acter which she for the time personates. In the pursuit of her high, aim she has been aided by the study of art. but in her most successful presentations Mrs. stan ton is not an artist but natures self.
