 At the Methodist church on Washington Hill, Barkhamsted, Saturday evening, thor. oughly appreciative audience greeted Mrs. Cora W. Harwi an elecutionist from the West, and MT. Howard Smith of Colebrook, who is conducting vocal class in your place. Mrs. Harwi is already locally know to us, and Saturday evening was the most successful of the pleasant entertainments she has given. Much of the saccess of the recital was due to the admirable singing of Mir. Howard Smith, whose naturally fine voice was handled with an ease that betokened the thorough under standing of an artist. We were most agree. ably surprised by the perfection of the entire renditions of poetry and song, and the wish is general that the recital be repeated when sleighing will tempt out more young people. The song of Mir. Smith, "Friar of Orders Grey" was enthusiastically received, and an Irish song following dialectic recitation in that tongue, caused quite sensation. "The Raven" was probably the most artistic read. ing of the evening but the German collection in costume was particularly taking. E. Goshen.
