An Enjoyable Hour

On Tuesday afternoon, the 23rd, the Hall was filled with an appreciative audience to listen to amateur performers who are visiting among us, assisted by local talent. The Misses vou Méllendorit and Miss Curry have been at Peitailo for some days, and they very kindly yielded to the desire of many to give an ontortainment on the above alteruoon. The extremes of our " settlement" aru so fat apart that in order to accommodate all, daylight must be availed of; for our roads, or paths, aco up hill and down dale, and over brooks, and not negotiable by ricshas or wheels to any appreciable extent. Nearly everyone was present, and it is sife to say that they spent a most enjoyable hour in listening to the excellent rausic, skilfully and appreciatingly executed. Only one criticism has been heard, and it is one that applies to a great many performances of this kind. It is this, that some of the accompaniments were played so loud that certain of the finest parts of the vocalists could not be heard.
