ENTERTAINMENT.

The success of last night’s entertainment on behUf of the Tunis of the Civile Seliool is another proof if any were wanting of the willingness ever displayed by the inhabitants of the district to cordially respond to any worthy object put before thtin. i At 8 o’clock the Clyde Brass Baud broke the ice by p'aying with tbc'r usual ability an Overture, which was quickly followed by a Rounl entitled •* liaise Aloft ” by the School children to the number of about ! Fifty, and as their voices rose an 1 fell in j perfect harmony diieoted by the magicwand of theii* i leader, Mr. Stevens the tccher, no ear could listen unrespousively, while no eye could fail to be charmed by the Imiliintly diessod, anl charming group j of little oms-ifc was a garden of the most beautiful flowers that while gazing upon, i gladdened the heart, and gratified every | souse. The children sang several Rounds | during tin evening, never f tiling to evoke the most genuine enthusiasm. There were two cornet duets by Messrs. Wild and Nbttlefol I, the last one eliciting an encore -each was most tastefully rendered, the blending of the two instruments at times amounting to extreme beauty of expression, while the tone through >ut was soft, artis'ic, and accurate in every note. The Duet by Mrs. Harper and Mr, Stevens, “ Peace to thy Spirit ’’ a'sn, a Trio by the "fore named and Mr. Cambridge, and a Duet by the two gent'emen, were all capitally rendered, the former especially, and each drew down the most enthusiastic cheers. Of the readings, they were of the customary character and wore we'l received - some were really excellent, that of Mr. M'Connocliie, a Scotch characteristic piece, being not only read, but acted with abilitv A dance conclu 'e l the night’s pleasure, the Band again kindly giving their valuable services.
