The pupils of the school exhibited the
usual proficiency which has marked all
their musical exercises since they have
been under the instruction of Prot.
Wheeler. IL is the universal comment
that the musical department Of the Ma
sonic Female Institute is in better hands
than it has ever been before. There is
even in the performances of the smallest
children evidences Of u thorough cnnsci-
entinus training which has heretofore
been in some degree wanting in this
branch of instruction ia Homer.
The lecture 10y Drayton Il. Hayes wa,
: heard 10y almost all present with pro
found attention which WAS specially
, gratifying TO the SPEAKER. His subject
, WAS one comparatively inrNhanstible, N
. all knew who have literary tastes ant
culture, and who have given speca
, thoughts To "Bnoks-when and how {,
read them" This lecture was intend,d t.
be Of benefit to the pupils in giving then
an idea Of what to rrsd and the maunc
. and time Of such reading. and may hav
. been tirrsomc to a portion Of the audi
rnce whose literary tastes have br-t
l formed 1t il therefore specially crafty
D ing TO Nj. Hayes Ia have received sue
- | rcSptCtful iTpin
u who must have found his lecture pr'sy.
These monthly concerts and lecture
have met with such success and hav'
proven to l- of such advantage to th
school, that they will h- continued unit
the close of the present term. One frs
turc uf the concert that We must special
notice was the organ solos by Prof. Vince
-r. Until this accomplished mu~'ria
came Ia Homer the greater part OF "u
!, people were ignorant of the extra"rdlnar
beauties Of this instrument. That They Al
prrciate hs unusual proficiency asan organ
ist was evidenced hy the profound attei
tion aud hearty plaudt- given him q
last Friday hight. We hope that the'
To concerts will grow in usefulness and POI
y, ularity.
