a mere passing local notice.
Allow us to say that she captiya-

composed of those who have a deci-
ced literary taste.
Her selections were of a high type,
each in its kind, and "her audience
made up their minds that they were
pleased, before they left the house"
AS they met on the streets next
morning it was but to confirm what
was apparent the night before.

captivated of .her art; and her arr

echo the feeling of many, in fact so
faraS we know, all who heard her that

whenever she may find it convenient
to come again into our midst.
BY her coming, she will gain new
admirers for the noble art of ElOcu-
