EXAMrNATIoY.--Thc examination Of the
pupils Of the Winchester Female Acad
cmy came of this week at the Cumber
land Presbyterian Church. Everything
went of finely, The pupils acquitted
themselves with much credit and reflected
great honor upon their teachers and the
school. We ere satisfied that this School
will continue to prosper because it de-
serves to. Winchester is the place (ol
the education OF young ladies.
We understand that Mr.. BIDDLE is
making Preparations to have the Acad'
envy buildings newly fitted up for The
accommodation Of large classes before
the beginning Of next session. The
Academy is beautifully situated in a dry.
shady grove, and is one Of the pretticst
sites for a school that we know of.
The class in Music showed considcra.
bic advancement since last examination,
and clearly demonstrated the efficiency
and capacity.of Mr., Habachc as teacher
of this useful branch Of female educa.
tiou 1t is said that the prospect is fair
that the next session will open with a
larger class than ever before assembled at
this Institution,
The Graduating Class consisted of four
young ladies', who now cntcr upon the
practical duties Of life with an excellent
training for usefulness and promise a
brilliant future. But VIC forbear any
further remarks, as we have a special
communication from friend which we
take much pleasure ia publishing.
Mn. EDroR:-Thcrc was q large
crowd in attendance to witness the
closing exercises Of the examination,
which has this week been in progress,
Of the pupils Of the Winchester l'c-
male Academy. Excellent order was
observed by the large audience, and
everything passed off very nicely IN
deed. The young ladies acquitted
themselves admirably, showing plain
ly that time had been improved, and
rejecting great credit on The faculty
OF the school, which consists of Rev. }
G.. BiDDLE. Miss MARTHA CoLTAR, and
Miss MAMIE BAIRD. Compositions
were read that would have done much
houor to their seniors, and taste cvinc-
ed in the selection Of subjects that
gave the entertainment an exceeding
ly happy effect. To particuIarizc
would occupy too much time, but |
must make haSty reference to the
graduating class, consisting OF Miss.
Susan u. Simmons, Miss. Jennie Null
likin, Miss. Mamie J. Thompson, Miss.
Sarah Alexander. Their essays were
appropriate, able, and pretty, and list

After they were all read the diplomas
were conferred by Mr.. Bidd!c, each
with a short admonition and a blcs-
sing. and responded to by the young
ladies with much feeling. The cerc-
mony was very impressive. Here are
four more who have gone out from
this long established institution, to do
it honor, and to bless and make hap
py those with whom their lots may be
cast. Life, with all its varied duties,
is now theirs, and they go forth to full
al woman's blessed destiny. May
