Crotchets and Quavers.

Miss Rosa Weber sang to a large and appre-

concert given for the benefit of the English
Methodist Church at Tarentum.
THE benefit concert being arranged for the
family OF the late Mr.. Richard Prosser, one of
the musical supervisors of the public
schools has certainly a most laudable
object. Mr.. Prosser's labors in the
cause of music, though not often brought into
the publicity of the concert stage, were wide
spread in influence and of great value to the
people at large. The benefit will probably be
given some time next week.

promises more in time. She sang the fragment
