NEW ALBANY:FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 2d, lftdlfiCoscrn or THE Chouu.—TImof the Chorals at Music Hall last night was. if the general expression of opinion bj tbo*e in attendance is to be regarded as evidence, even a greater success than that of Matday night. As we think both deaervethe superlative adjectives of commendation, we are satisfied not to draw any comparison between them. Every piece was well sung; every performer sung well. This is quantum suf. perhaps; but we must be permitted to add that “The Bridge of Sighs,’’ by Prof*. Foote and Merwin; the quartet “Blow On,' by Haskins, Brown, Miller, and 8cribner; the solo. “There's nae Room for Tws, by Prof. Merwin, were better than we ever heard them sung. Miss Emma Baldwin, in the solo “Not for Gold or Precious Stones, ’ I merited the applause she received. She fairly excelled herself, excellent as she always is in what she attempts to sing.The gems of the evening, however, were ‘•Prisoner and Nightingale,’’ by Prof. Merwin and Miss Julia Culbertson, the “Lefcp for Life,” by Prof. Foote, “Papa * ao very Particular,” by Miss Culbertson and Profs^ Foote and Merwin. Miss Julia Culbertson crowned the climax in “Ecker's Swiss Song.’Miss Hattie K. Scribner, at the piano, whs the acknowledged queen of music. She has few superiors—none in this section. She contributed in an eminent degree to the success of the concert, and every mark of approbation she received walt;* merited. But we must not extend this notice, as we have not the room. Where all was so well done, and all were so well satisfied, there it no need of other praise than that the universal public to-day awards the Chorals.
