hearts as well as the earth. Soon carriages, | buggies and hacks are in requsition convey ing the young ladies from the Seminary to the Church, in short time the crowd col lects and the exercises are resumed, classes in reading, grammar, geography, rheto1c. Kane's elements of critism, punctuation, arithmetic, algebra, Latin and Greek were examined closely and thoroughly, inter spersed with original compositions and music. At night we had another exhibi tion. compositions, addresses, and a dia- logue acted in committee of the whole to consult on the propriety of erecting suta- ble college ediGce. This was the production of two of the school girls. It was very amusing, entertaining and appropo; sketch ing some characters to life. On Wednes- day at 10 o'clock the degree of NJ. E. L. was confered on Misses Anderson, Diclin- son. Smith and Watson, and the degree of NJ. A. on the last named. The original addresses and compositions of these young ladies were remarkably good. Next came the annual address by Rev. J. A. Stanley, A. M., subject woman; her sphere and des- tinv. It was majestic in thought, elegant and chaste in diction, practical in its teach ings and gracefully delivered The remarks to the graduating class were highly felici- tous. At night came off the concert by Prof. Barcus and his class. it was feast of fat things or rather of delicious sounds.
 The committee cannot close this report without expressing their entire satisfaction and perfect delight with the whole exam nation. We need run no comparisons or draw any contrast. All was good. Each class excelcd and exhibited thoroughness and fitness on the part of the teachers, and aptitude and application on the part of the student. If there was any department that did excel and exhibit more attention than another, it was that which is generally neg lected in our high and model schools and colleges, the elementary consisting of spell ling, reading, speaking and writing l. This is the most important and here was the greatest proficiency Other colleges may boast lk6re ornament and show, but in our opinion, none can boast of a better corps of teachers or better management than OuaGhta conference female college. Usefulness, not show, is the object to be attained
 It is tine united policy of the college tc send forth her graduates as highly accom- pIised, well educated and deeply pious wo men. Nothing short of well educated mind and sanctiGed heart, can fit woman to fill her sphere and fulfill the high behest of heaven This the faculty well know and fully appreciate. They labor for the spiritual as well as the temporal good oi their pupils and their labor has not been ill vain. Every year they have good revi- val, and most of their pupils are professors of religion All their compositions and addresses exhibited high order of piety and love of morality and virtue.
 We close this report by warmly and un- hesitatingly recommending the Ouachita conference female college to our church and the public Send on your daughters tc Tulip; society is good, health unsurpassed finest of water. good church accommoda- tions, boarding cheap and good, and oul college is equal to any. President Watson Professor McAllister and Professor Barcus have no superiors, and but few equals il their spective departments. Come friends no need now that you should send you clildsen and means abroad. Help youl own State, build up her colleges. Come brethren of Ouachita conference rally tc your college. Let us unite and make i an ornament to the State and blessing tc the church. We must furnish our peopl with educational facilities or loose ground Let us not put this great lever of useful ness (education) in the hand of our enc mics. The times demand a sanctifel edu cation, let us be up and doing. The uus tees as the resolutions below will show are determined to have a N0 coliege, an, we ask the assistance of the entire confer ence.
 The next session commences on the Is Monday in September. Terms, the same The faculty remains the same as heretofore Let every preacher send pupil from hi work next fall. One united effort and sue cess-glorious success will attend the en terprisc So may it be.
