Jarvis, of Detroit, it may he said, sustained his reputation as a master of the art. He has a commanding pre-. sense and his singing is done with an ease that heightens- the pleasure of those listening to him, his responses. to encores, "The death of Nelson" and, "Flow gently sweet Afton," being ex- ceedingly - ceedin 1Yvell rendered.
