Tie undersigned, the only member of the
Visiting Comnlitte to the Wesleyan Female
Institute, at Stanton, Va, appointed at the
last session Of the Baltimore Conference,
who was present at the examination, takes
pleasure in reporting NEST favorably of the
school, and in assuring its friends that it
still maintains its high character as Semi
nary of Learning
The examination was thorough and rigid
and very satisfactory. Indeed, do not
know how it could have been better, espe-
cially upon some of the higher branches.
In all the departments there was given evi.
dence of careful instruction, and of diligent
and successful study.
Neatness, order, and the strictest propri-
ETY. of department. are striking characters
ties of the Institute showing constant eff
fort to secure refinement of feeling and man
ners, as well as mental culture.
r At the close of the examination the mem
bers Of the school, through young Ladies
selected from their number, presented to the
Principal and his Lady. and to each of the
teachers in neat addresses, tokens Of their
affection and high appreciation of the kind
ness and instructions received from them
while in the Institute The scene was deep
ly interesting, and will not soon be erased
from memory. Such affection for teachers
and fellow-students, have never before
witnessed in school and the like is but sell
dom seen anywhere.
The closing exercises, on the evening Of
the 9th inst, were very interesting. They
consisted of Music the reading of original

We were unable to accept tho invitation Of
