One of the most pleaslng entertaininents It has been our fortune to witnessthis season, was the Mother Goose concert given at the M.

Hall. rendered Mother Goose rhymea, setto music. Quite a number of the melodies were from "Patience," "The Mascotte," and other light opera, the airs being adapted by Mrs. Hall. Especiallv pleiising was the familiar " Mary had a Little Lamb," given by Mleses Katie Jncobs and Mattie Taylor. The Scotch air by Mies Knowlton und Mr. Colc, in costume, was also tiiking; Miss Nina Davison's " Fint Music Lesson," was line, and the little ones in " Rock-a-bye,1' werc spleDdid.

The one boy, Percy Donglass, who was permittvd to ging wltli the girls, was such a splendid little rooster that he took the house by storm. Mrs. Hall cortainly deserves much praise for the superior manner in which she produced this excellent entertainment.
