Pleasant Words About "A Bellows Fall,
Girl.

Miss Marcia r. Sawyer of this place,
who has met with such decided success in
her study of music, received quite an ova-
ton at a recent recital given at Bradford,
Mass, academy by the pupils of Prof.
Downs. Miss Sawyer made her debut
when a very little girl of four years as
Kahna in the oratorio of Queen Esther,
and since then her steady progress and the
development of her pure soprano voice has
been regarded as very promising, and her
many friends here who are following her
advancement with so much interest, will
read with pleasure the following from the
Haverhill, Mass, Daily Bulletin
THE choice number of the evening Judging
from both artistic merit and the delighted appre-
citation of the audience, was the song, Roses,
which was sung by Miss Sawyer For delcacy of
and depth of tone, at once winning the heart and
appreciation of every listener Miss Sawyer solo
has seldom been equaled i'm this academic hall,
and the little gem of a song given in response to
an hearty encore, was as the echo Of the soul of
song, touched in the first number. The al
ternate solos by Miss Sawyer and Miss MertZ, the
clear ringing soprano answered by the deep, rich
alto, both blending in the volume of sound that
died away TO the final hush, found each of the
audience unwilling to break the spell and make
the first move of departure"
1t is expected that Miss Sawyer will sing
"The roses" at the graduating exercises
of the High school this evening.
