Nashville students, the celebrated jubi-
lee singers will gt(-e an entertainment in

spoken off by the press of all the cities
and towns which they }tate ilsitett. The
folio vine notice front a contemporary
which is not addicted to over -praising in-
ferior performances. we publish on this
occasieu, so that our readers will have
an idea of the musical abilities .1 the
jubilee stinger ,who will be at North
street church on Saturday ' evening.
On 1Vednesday evenin,( the Nashville
• Students gave a tirst-class euterttittutent
Consisting of Aanou's . neem melodies
and a repetition of the music of the col-
ored people of the South. 'fhe pro-
gratnute was lengthy and new. The ren-
dering of songs creditable and showed
that the actors were perfect in the rolls
they assumed Th4irvoicesarerich, musi-
ctl,and e,f rare t- titpass,and the souks by
turns full of pathos or humor. The lip-
pearance of the singers in plantation cos-
tume with the old somas and gestures
brings to the memory scenes sal the old
„ n plantatr day., campmeetines and cot-
:: ••.d singers, the contralto, Slits Frank-
liva the alto of Miss Scott, the basso .4
Mr. Tipton, and the tenor Mr. Edwards,
wet -o specially admired. The Nashville
quartetteandTenneessee trio were remark-
able, for the beautiful blending of their
voices. Cousctentiously speaking, their
music is far ahead of that of the Fisk
Jubilee Singers, and if they eij-er visit
this city astain they will he tweeted with
another full home." -[Guelph 1leraid,
