FoJtx**y, Centre Hall, P*. Boai.smko., March 4. ISrS.—The Mu sical Convention held here last wreck was in every respp. t a gran i lUOOfCI. It wa conducted b* Profs P. II Meyer, of this place, and t.owel M. Meyer, of Centte Mall, C. H Meyer presiding at the instru ment, and Low-el M. Mover conducting the singing. These gentlemen performed their offices excellently, each fully meet ing the expectations of the people Mr. C. U. Mover is an elegsi t player and sing er, and because of his extensive experi ence is hard to excel as a convention man. Mr. Lowol Meyer is decidedly one of the finest singers we have ever heard, and ap peared several times as a Solo singer, each time he was greeted with rounds of ap plause We can truthfully say that we never hoard in Philadelphia or Sow York better singing than was done bv l'rcf. Mover, llis facial expressions added very much to the effect of his singing, and ev ery one tried te get where the.v could see him when he ang. During bis short stay hero he made for nimsnlf many friends. Mr. Rcitmvor of Lewi-burg, the artistic violinist, arrived in time to assist on Thurs day and Friday. Mr. Reitmyeras a vio linist, certainly has no superiors In this part of the country, and will long be re membered here as the "Boss \ io'.inist We might mention othe-s who figured prominently but space will net permit The convention closed on Friday even ing with a grand concert. The music was excellent and the audience very large. The church whieh is quite a large one, was tilled te its utmost, at least a half hour before the exercises began. A great many could not gain admittance at all. We have been informed that about ses - enty-five dollars were realised on that one evening, which was considerably less than half of the net proceeds of the convention. The class which numbered over a hun dred was composed of singers from all along this valley, from Aaronsburg to Spruce Creek. All singers troui a distance were entertained free of charge ; our good people believing that "A gotnl cause ought to make a generous heart, as the proceeds are to |p> to our Academy, which is now again in successful operation All ap peared to enioy themselves very much, and went away nillyeonvinoed that Reals bur* is certainly the place for a musical convention, and determined to attend our next Thanks are due to Mr Jacob \\ eber tor the use of his organ, Mrs C.
