The recitation by Miss Hinckley was delivered with taste and feeling. The story of the poem is beautiful, and lull of the most pathetic sentiments. Mr. Thompson's ''Shamus O'Brien" was well given, and eli-.ited loud applause. ap-plause. Being encored, he delivered a comical history of the loves of Othello and Dcsdemona which sent everybody away smiling from the hall.
