Mrs. Hines at the Academy. =


Mrs. Hines had a small but very ap-
preciative audience for her reeitations
at the academy Tuesday evening, 9th.
Mrs Hines has had unusual advan-
tages in having studied under the best
teachers east aud west and along with
these advantages she is unusually gift
ed with native sense and taste and is
a good example of resolute and vigOr-
Gus self-euiture. A woman so prepared
exercises great power with small effort;
the audience was not only interested,
il was nj times deeply affected. Vinita
has not had such an entertainment
for a long time. Mrs. Hines can count
upon a larger audience should she re-
visit Vinita. Mr. Mccarthy expects
he can get musical recital from Prois
ChalfAnt,o Springfield, Miss HubbslPs
teacher, soon after Christmas.
