The little ditty she sang for that encore made the people hug themselves with joy.
 A new tenor was heard in Water bury last night in the person of Vii. liam Wegener. Possessed of beauti- full physique, and pleasing connte, nance he made an impression at once before he began to sing. But when h did sing he certainly held his audi ence spellbound. Each of his mum bers was charming and sung in ex- cellent voice. Indeed such a tenO has not been heard in this city in | any concert ever given. The peopl 1 could not be satisfied scarcely with what was allotted to him and calle for more. The duet between Mrs Cum ming and MT Wegener was so de- lightful that the audience went int raptures over the only one numbe rendered. The orchestra concluded the program with selection iron. "Tannhauser."
