The N. y. II. A. Concert.

A large and select audience assembled
at the Rooms ofthe Moral Suasion Re-
form Association, last evening, to hear
the Buell. family, who lad been engaged
by the association to give concert for
the benefit Of their charity fund. The
exercises of the evening were opened
at s o clock, by Col. John H. Moore,
Treasurer OF the club, who, after stating
the object Of the entertainment, and
thanking the audience for their attend
ance, introduced the Buell. Family, who
then came forward and were greeted
with applause.
The concert then opened with an in
strumental duett, Miss Fannie Bue Il
presiding at the organ, and Master Harry
accompanying her on the violin. OF
Miss Fanny Buell., it is useless for us to
say anything, as she is well known in
Wilmington, and her superior abilities
recognized and appreciated; but as Mas
ter Harry as a violinist is new feature
in the Family, we will say for the bene-
fit of those who have not heard him,
that his power over this most difficult
instrument is wonderful, and his per-
iornance last evening was highly ap-
preciated. Our space will not permit
us to give the entire programme which
was lengthy and varied, suffice it to say
that everything was done in the excel
lent style for which the Buells are ia
nous, and the singing of the young la
dies, proved that time and practice, in
stead Of detracting from their ability as
vocalists, but added new charms to
their voices. "Hard Times," by Miss
Gerty, brought tears to many eyes, and
the "Lords of Creation" by Miss Fan
ny, was calculated TO make every male
present have a greater reverence for the
cause Of woman's rights.
Taken as a whole, the concert reflect
ed great credit upon all concerned, and
the large audience dispersed at ten
o'clock with the freely expressed senti
mept that the evening had been well
spent. We understand that Col. Moore,
through whose efforts the Buells were
engaged, has made arrangements to
have them again at no distant day, Of
which due notice will be given.
Bishop Lees Welcome.
The Episcopal brethern held a mis-
sionary meeting at Calvary church yes

Other interesting services were held.

Of welcome was read by Rev. Mr.. Glenn
son to which the Bishop very leasant

This closed the two days services
and to-day many of the visiting clergy
men will leave for their homes.
