pal. The closing exercises of this popular Institu-
ton, were held on Tuesday afternoon, 2lst inst. i'm
the Masonic Hall, in the presence Of crowded audi
tory OF ladies and gentlemen. The pupils about 20 IN
number Were generally in attendance, presenting an
array of beauty and talent; and far they parci
pated in the public exercises acquitted themselves in
a style highly ciedtabe TO the Principal and his Ia.
Tented Assistants, and equally so TO themselves; and
no doubt those of the Pupils who were not fortu-
bate as 10 have the opportunity of appearing to like
advantage on this occasion. capable of sustain
ing high reputation which will be more fully deve-
oped hereafter.
During the occasion number of interesting original
articles were read by different pupils, some OF which
were remarkable for the beauty of their STYLE and
certainly Of very high order of merit and if it
he not deemed invidouE to select from such a mass
of excellence reference might he made to an article
on the death OF the lamented MAJOR RIRGGoLD which
was read in most fecitous style by its fair author
esd, and received the most rapturous applause from
the audience. The hope s here repeated which has
been frequently expressed that the tribute to that gal
liant son of Maryland, may be furnished tor publica-
tiOn no doubt il would be regarded as one of the
most beautiful wreaths that has been prepared for the
memory Of that brave man.
The intervals between the articles read, were en-
livened by the beautiful tones of the Piano. the per-
formers being pupils of the Institute who are under
the care of competent and devoted Preceptress At
the close of these highly interesting exercises some
premiums for excellence were distributed and an ad
dress was delivered by the Rev. S. KeppICr.
1t ought TO be matter of great pleasure that our
city sustains number Of highly respectable Sc
minares for Young Ladies', furnishing thereby ample
opportunities for female education rarely to be met
with, and the necessity Of sending daughters from
home to complete their education cannot be said in
reality to exist; the contrary, we may safely advise
distant friends to patronize our city Female In
situes; many of their boarding departments ARE most
admirably arranged and the greatest will be taken
of the health and education of the Pups-and of this
deserved commentator none is more worthy than
the Institution under the management of the Rev
JOHN Il. JARBOE.
