We understand there is no substantial
foundation for the rumor lately published
in a morning paper to the effect that
Annie Roemer- Kaspar is about to leave the
choir of the Congregational Church for that
of the new Universalist Church. But
whatever may bo the fact in this regard,
she will certainly sing in the grand enter
tainment at that church ON Thursday even

also add her sweet and accomplished
voice, and Miss Whiting, of Boston, her
grand and sympathetic contralto to make
this one of the finest entertainments we
have ever had the opportunity of attend
ing. The recitation ofMiss Mosher, of Bal
timore, is also anticipated with great inter
est by many who have heard her, and many
others who desire to do so. of course every
