Pierian Sodality.

The Pierian Sodality is now rehearsing regularly in preparation for several concerts which will be given this spring. Among the new pieces which are being taken up are the overture to Auber's Fra Diavolo, and a movement from Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony.

The first concert will take place April 8, in Palladio Hall, Roxbury. It will be for the benefit of the "Tremont Dispensary," and will be followed by dancing. On Monday, April 13, the orchestra will play in Providsnce, R. I., under the auspices of the Union of Practical Progress. The proceeds will be devoted to a fund for a summer playground in Providence.

Arrangements are also being made for a concert at Wellesley, to take place sometime in May.
