HOMrE-RAISED TROUT.-The Charlos. ton News and Courier of the 7th inst. has the following A gontloman not wholly uncou nected with the Secretary of State's office, spent one day of his Christ nas holidays with Hon. Thos. W. Woodward, of Newberry, and on that occasion partook of a trout weighing six and one-quarter pounds which was raised by his host in his private fish -pond. It is strictly in order now for Mr. Woodward to rise and explain what lie knows about pisciculture. This is all true, except in one very important particular. Major Woodward lives in Fairfield, and we are unwilling for Newberry to have him. Nor is it necessary for the Mtajor "to rise and explaini what he knows about pisciculture ;" for this lie has already dono in his admirable ossay delivered at the summor meeting of ,the State Grange in Anderson last year, and since published in full in Tim NEws AND hERALD and other newspapers in the State. But the associate editor of this paper wvill ever have among the regrets of his life that he didn't accept the Major's cordial invitation to go and partake of that same six-pounder. The Concert. Tuesday evening, the time fixed for the concert in aid of the Gordon Light Infantry, wvas a most disa.. greeable one. The day had boon in tensely cold, with a slight fall of snow, and though the clouds clear ed away at one time, yet they soon gathered again, -and by seven * o'clock the evening was almost as unpleasant as it could be. At all events it was a most unp)ropitious one for the coming entertainment. Notwithstanding this, a good au dience assembled at the Thespian Hall, to hear the really excellent music that was given. : The concert opened with "Ever of Thee Polka" by the full string band-two violins, cornet, piccolo, bass and piano. Their music was really excellent, the instruments being in perfect tune, the time per feet and the excution accurate and tasteful. .The band afterwards played the "El Dorado Waltz," which is a fine piece of music, and which they rendered even better than the polka. Nexct followved "Love and War," a quartott. soprano, alto, tenor and basso. It was finely sung, as wvere afterwards the quartettes "Moonlight on the Lake" and "Tell me, ye Winged Winds"---the last-named being par ticularly sweet. The tenov solo from Lucia di Lammermoor was next rendered by Mr. Levi. This gentleman has an unusually fine voice, and to natuzal talent he has added a high degree of culture. Hils notes are all clear, full, strong and sweet--a combination of ole.. mente not of ten f.ound. He - hows his music, the pieces he rendered being peculiarly well adapted to his voice. His articulation is unusually clear-far more so than that of most male singors. At some distance from the stago al most ov -y word of his pieces could bc distinctly under stood. Mr. J.ovi afterwards sang "When the Bloom is on the Rye," in which the compass of his voice was bettor Ebown than in the previous selection-his lower notes being soft and smooth and the higher ones clear and strong. He was loudl y encored, but responded only by a gracoful and silent acknowledgment of the compliment. Pro fessor Schmitt, with whom our communi., ty had already become well Ac quainted, played some fine selections from Norma, in which he showed his usual fine control of his violin. He afterwards played variations from DeBeriot, in which he almost excelled himself. He too was encored, and in response played a very fine piece of music, the name of which we did not learn. "'Twas within a Milo of .Edinboro'" was finely sung by Miss Mackoroll, who shows remarkable musical talent for one so young. Her voice was unusual strength and her notes are all clear and true. With frequent and judicious practice, she must some day not far distant have a voice of rare excellence. A noteworthy feature of the concert was the per formances on the piano by Miss Buchanan, Alias Kitty Rion and Mrs. Mobley. The Polka do Con cert by Miss Buchanan was finely rendered, and showed both musical talent and a mastery of the instru mont. Her touch is delicate and her expression excellent. The Lion Hunt played by Alias Rion is a piece re. quiring not only a command of the instrument, but good ear, correct taste and perfect time. Combining these, Miss Rion acquitted herself very creditably. The overture to Zampa, performed as a duet by Mrs. Mobley and Aliss Buchanan, was admirably rendered. Mrs. Mobley fhows a command of the instrument worthy of a professional, and with this she combinos good taste. The rendition of the overture by Miss Buchanan and herself could scarcely have boon better. . The soprano solo, "Thou Art so Near and yet so Far," was excellently sung by Mrs. Davis. Selecting a piece well adapted to her voice, she succeeded in render ing it in a manner creditable aliko to her taste and her training. Her voice is strong, but for this loses none of its natural sweetness. Altop:<-thor, the concert was a cred ubb ~ exhibition, and the Winnsb .rov Musical Associ'ation have reason to congratulate them selves on their success. At the close of the performance the young people indulged for a short while in the danco, and then everybody wven t home-shivering as he went, but glad to have heard the fine music of the evening.
