Fine Programme.

Out Mt Mt. do Chnntal Last EVening-A
Fine Programme.
To he Editor Of the IateRigeIeT.
SlR:-Last evening the young ladies
at Mt. de Chantal, who are studying this
most delightful OF instruments, or, as
they prefer to designate themselves, the
Pioneer Glass OF 'SS-Gave violin re-
cital with the following programme:
|, Morccau from IIandcl's Ontorlo Judas Maeha.
bees, played by Miss Mollic Duncan, at the
completion Of her first quarter.
. Collection OF NOlkslcld, played by Miss Emma
Kerrlsk, after one quarters tuition,
Q, FnntnsiC, March and German Song, played by
Miss Fanny Sullivan, the result Of her second
quarter.
4. austrian air with variations aud Carnival dc
Venice played by Miss Lizzie Moore, at the
completion Of her second quarter.
., "My heart why 40 sad" and Green Meadows,
played by MlssKatie iagHu, at the end of her
second quarter.
6, Waltz and fragment from Sonata, played by
Miss Mamie Hamilton.
The whole was rendered in n very
simple, informalmannGr, and only those
were invited to be present who really
like the instrument and are interested in
the progress OF the pupils. Very little
time has been devoted to practicing, SO
MS to form no interference with the reg
ular course OF studies, but that little has
been so conscientiously employed that
remarkable progress has been made,
Miss Fanny Sullivan and Miss Lizzie
Moore, being only eleven aud twelve
years Of age, OF course, attracted the
most attention. The grace OF their bow
ing was particularly noticeable, and
though little Fanny's half-sized violin,
adapted TO her tiny structure, could not
compete with the power Of the full sized
violfns around her, yet the neatness and
delicacy OF her execution by no means
left her in the shade:
Miss Lizzie Moore, although the
younger of the two, is nearly twice the
size OF her companion; she uses full
sized violin and brings out n strong,
mellow tone with truthful intonatiOn
that gives promise OF unusual excellence
in the future. Each as specified in the
class OF beginners in the programme, as
well MS Miss Kate Hamilton in the
fourth class, did immense credit to their
distinguished teacher, Prof. Hermann
SChockcy, who is an artist Of whom
Wheeling may justly be proud. Under
his skilful direction it has already been
satisfactorily proved, at Mt. de Chantal,
that the violin is a lady's instrument,
which demands only natural talent, jul
dicious and artistic training, with more
or less hard work, 20 become a source OF
unfailing enjoyment in the family circle.
The yiolins were nearly all from the
celebratedmanufactory OF Rudolph Wur-
liter 4 Bro, Cincinnati, and when long
enough in use, will be distinguished for
brillRncy and sweetness Of tone.

MIR. MITCHELL EXPLAINS.

whnt IIo Told Dir. HnlIinGswOrth on the
Congressional Race.
There was published here last evening
an open letter from Mr.. Hollingsworth
of Cadiz, in which he says that Mr.. NJ
G. Mitchell, of Martins Ferry, had told
him that that precinct was nearly solid
for Hollingsworth, and what votes he
would not have would be for Coulter. A
reporter meeting Mr.. NJ. Q. Mitchell
last evening, asked him:
"Have you seen Mr.. d. 4. Holdings.
worth's letter to George q. Sedgwick, in
this evenings Nc1Cs letter."
He replied: Eyes; my attention has
been called to it."
"What have you to say to it?"
az was sent for to come to the Sher.
man House to meet Hollingsworth and
Leroy Sedgwick, who said they wanted
a candid statement from me as to the
situation here. In answer said, in my
Judgment, II left alone, nine-tenths Of
our people were in favor of Col. ]. d.
Taylor, and that their next choice would
be Col. Coulter.
"They asked me what the reasons were
for this, and told Mr.. Hollingsworth
that one OF the reasons was, that his
county constantly refused to give Bel.
mont its proper representation in our
State Senatorial nominating conven-
tons, Belmont casting nearly three
times the number OF votes cast by Harri.
