Closing Exercises Of the First Term Of the
Puget Sound Wesleyan Institute.

J DILLON, took place at the Masonic Hall in
the town of Olympia, on Friday evening
January 23d, 1851. The audience was
large and appeared to be well entertained
for though the room was excessively crowd.
ed long before the time Of commencement,
it continued so during a lengthy perform
ance. The room was well lighted and
neatly and appropriately festooned with
evergreen, and handsome stage, exceed
ingly well ornamented by its tasteful ar
rangement, to say nothing Of the relief
afforded by the presence Of the Misses Of
the school. Over the heads Of these living
ornaments was inscribed "No EXCELLENCE
WITHOUT LABOR" The pieces were well
prepared, and admirably recited. Itwould
be invidious to particularize, when all did
so we'll We may be permitted, however,
without desire to do injustice to any, to
mention that the parts assigned to Masters
WALLACE, SAM HALE, NJ: j. LEwARK, H.
c. HALE, were admirably performed. The
Temperance Rally" was very entertain
ing, and the little boys, Masters HARMED
and DEvoRE, particularly quaint and
sprightly. The Welcome of the Volun-
teers," by T. CHAPMAN, was well done, and
the tableau quite warlike.
The young ladies succeeded well in the
parts assigned them, exhibiting great &C.
complishment and excellence in their studies
and in their manner of reading. The length
of the performance precludes the possibility
of commenting upon the performance of
each individual in the various parts as
signed. We have not desired to leave out
those who are deserving Of peculiar com
mendation OF the young Misses, we may
mention Misses RoBY WILLARD, DEvoRE,
HARMED, FLETCHER, MORGAN, E. WILLARD,
SUTTLEMYER, BARNES and others. The
Rainbow" was beautiful, well arranged
and seemed to give pleasure to everybody.
We give below the programme" only
adding that the progress made by the
pupils in drawing, needle work, embroidery,
&c, exhibited by the specimens, is high
