CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG.

Miss Kellogg will fill her postponed engagement in this city, next Monday evening. Among the recent press notices is the following from the Ottawa Daily Citizen: 

The opera house was crowded last evening by a fashionable and appreciative audience and Miss Kellogg and her excellent company met with a brilliant and hearty reception. The prima donna was in fine voice and received a perfect storm of applause on her appearance. Miss Kellogg was down for two numbers on the program in the miscellaneous part and sang the trying part of Leonara in " Il Trovatore," the fourth act of which opera was performed by the company. To speak of Miss Kellogg in a manner to fully describe her great artistic ability is beyond us. We cannot criticize, there are artists that are above criticism, and Miss Kellogg is one of them; we can only go, listen and admire, and those of our readers who have not had that privilege should not let the opportunity pass but go this evening. Those who have heard Miss Kellogg in this city and elsewhere will certainly not let a chance escape of having that delightful opportunity again. In her singing of the aria from " Ernani," last night, in the concluding phrase, the fair vocalist startled her audience and roused them into enthusiasm by her working up when she did a shake on D sharp and finished a powerful note in the tonic in E. In response to this magnificent effort the audience were favored with V. Gabriele charming ballad, " Jennie's Choice," sang and interpreted as only an artist can interpret anything so simple and alluring. Again Miss Kellogg was recalled and bowed her acknowledgments. The singing of Foster's passionate and romantic ballad. " I Love Thee," Miss Kellogg achieved another victory, and in response to a fierce determination to have her again, sang the never old ballad " Comin' Thro' the Rye," the little cadenza at the close marking a distinction between the cultured singer and the amateur. In her singing of " Leonora," Miss Kellogg was very powerful. She is a fine actress, and comprehends fully the meaning of the character she portrays. Her dramatic and pathetic passages in "II Trovatore," showed how carefully she controls at will a magnificent soprano voice.
