Music Teacher's Concert.

Notwithstanding the exceedingly bad state of the weather as well as the roads on Thursday evening last, the concert given by Mrs. Irvine was very well attended. Had the evening been fine the house would have been crowded. Mrs. Irvine's class consists of thirty-one pupils of various ages from 7 or 8 years up, and we understand it is her intention to give an entertainment every three months for the encouragement of her pupils. The chair was occupied by Dr. Sproule, M.P., who presided in his customary dignified and happy manner. The program was lengthy, varied and well rendered, many of the pupils showing marked advancement in that most desirable art. The love of music, and the culture and development of the musical talents or propensities of the youth can not receive too much encouragement on the part of parents; its influences are truly refining, elevating and cheering. We are gratified to see so much interest taken in this most desirable accomplishment, if it may be so called, there being several large classes in our prosperous little village.
