Of the project that a few Of the citizens Of Barre
announced n musical convention Of four days
duration, the expenses OF which would OF neces-

L. o. Emerson of Boston as director, the singing
public Of this and adjoining towns could not fail
to see that grand opportunity for instruction
was placed before them, while the persons named
as soloists were 80 we'll and favorably known
that the lovers of music were assured Of rich
treat: and the result was that the undertaking
proved in every way a success The exercises of the
convention opened Tuesday morning. and the frst
two davs were entirev devoted 10 the drill of the
chorus which numbered one hundred, among
whom we're noticed many of our first singers who
plady placed themselves under the tutorship OF
| their yeteran instructor A matinee was held
Thursdav afternoon. and the frat of the two grand
concerts in the evening both of which were largely
| attended and brought ont the best talent in the
convention. The second matinee took place
Friday afternoon. The last meeting of the con-
yention was In the form of A grand concert on
Friday evening. Although the weather through
out the afternoon and evening was stormy. vet the
hall was hacked and " standing room :" was in
demand. II ia needless for us to say anything by
way of praise in regard To Professor Emerson.

students are back. The freshman class from
Dartmouth College, who had their class supper
at the Pavilion Monday evening, favored the

was good, that by the quartette being especially
noticeable. Messrs. Laird and Adams Of the
class of 80 came up with their class and remained
upon the hill until Tuesday afternoon. Most Of
those who have been sick are either convalescent
or doing as well as could be expected. Mr.. Page
we judge to be the worst off, requiring the in
serton of tube in his throat. At last accounts he
was doing we'll, and the doctors thought he would
survive. He is at his home in Plain6eld. -. The

the diphthera, will not be opened at present, and
self-boarders have obtained rooms in private
