Blind Tom.

--Mr. Oliver announces three more concerts at the African Church, closing, on Wednesday night, so that those who have not yet heard the performances of the youthful pianist, blind Tom, will do well to avail themselves of the present opportunity. There has not, within our recollection, been such a ‘"mania"’ among the people for hearing a musical celebrity, (Jenny Lind not excepted,) as there is to listen to the unaccountable outpouring of harmony created by this extraordinary child. Nature was in a singular mood when she deprived him of her usual gifts, but endowed him with a power so wonderful that even the acutest intellect is puzzled in seeking an explanation. Tom will visit Fredericksburg after closing his present series of concerts here.
