although he has recovered to some eX-

prospect of permanent improvement.

The Organ-Benefit Concert.
Saxtons River people were taken some
what by an agreeable surprise last Inurs-
day evening. Not but what it was known
that concert could be gotten up by Sax
tons River perseverance: but such an
entertainment being so rarely attempted,
the success of the one just past was all
the more striking. The evenings enter
tainment was not wholly of a musical
character; and it is to Miss Helen H..
Bailey that many thanks are due for the
literary part of the programme. MISS
Bailey, as before mentioned, is gradu-
ate of the Cumnock school of oratory,
and evidently has made the most OF her
education. Her realistic limitations of
the darky dialect. and the Irish brogue,
served both to set off the more strikingly
her renditions of pathetic passages and
create a laugh at their own aptitude.
Miss Bailey has learned the art of carry
ing her hearers along with her. and, by
a certain magnetism in her voice and
manner, holds undoubtedly their attention.
1t is safe to say that no reader who has
appeared in town has been more thor
oughly enjoyed. The entertainment
opened with a quartette Of male voices,
which was highly appreciated. Miss
Hoogs and Miss PARCELS, well known as
musical instructors in Vermont Academy,
sang each solo with their accustomed
power. The manifestations of the audi
ence testified to the favor with which
they were received. 1t has long been
known in the vicinity that Miss Hattie
Clark is a musical artist Of no small sue
cess. but only once or twice has she APP
peared before the public of her native
place. Miss Clark has done much with
her voice, which is of remarkable sweet
ness, and much credit is hers for the sue
cess with which she sings. The appar-
ent ease with which she takes and sus-
tains high notes, and the richness of her
voice, show careful training based upon
excellent natural ability. 1t is hoped
that this may not be the last appearance
of Miss Clark in Saxtons River. The
Guitar Club of Vermont Academy fur
nished several selections with success
an encore greeted them each time.
Though the concert was, as intimated,
gotten up by enterprising ladies of the
place, and though the condition of the
weather was something alarming, and
though the title read "Organ Benefit,
every one seemed pleased, even to com
plete satisfaction, and one expressed the
sentiments of all in saying "The best we
have ever had" The full programme is
