"Anvil Chorus," piano solo by MUs Ford;
'Indian Maid," closing song by the Semi
nary choir.
Where each piece was executed so per
fectly it would be wrong to discriminate, but
judgfng from the manifestations of the
audience some of the pieces were, If possible,
better than the rest. Among others was "Hot
Corn," "Naughty, Naughty Men," and
"Stonewall Jackon's Grand Maich."
"The "paper" was a gem and we would
like to get an exchange with it. We tried to
secure a copy to make extract! from, but
could not. Some of the pieces were excellent ;
the poetry all good, the conundrums full of
fun, and the wbole make-op exhibited a great
deal of talent. We do Dot give this "paper"
a "puff" for the purpose of gaining patron
age for it, for its subscription books are full.
