Degrees Conferred.
President Bonner read the literary ESSAYS of
The Misses Galloway, daugh ters of Prof CAL
lowny. These compositions were well written
and evinced clearly that the minds of the
young ladies were we'll educated. Three of
the graduating class were not present on tho
occasion. but we understand that they will re-
ceive their Diplomas.
President Bonner Mt the conclusion of the
literary exercises gave to the young ladies
their Diplomas and delivered in m nblo and
impressive manner the Baccalaureate Address.
After which Prof Simpson, Miss Sul,ie
Mclsryde and Miss Lucic Calvert favored the
audience bya song and few pieces of music.
We cannot go farther without especially COM
pmenting the Professor and tho last named
young ladies for their efforts, and would state
that they added much to the evenings enter
tanmcnt. The exercises concluded, eome re.
mained for a while, some retired to their
homes, while Others, for the sake of the prom
enadc, found their way to the Halls of the Lit
erary Societies of Erskine College.
Due West,is always a very pleasant place
ABOUT Commencement times, and We advise
those desiring pleasant Grip to visit the Forest
Village on one Of these occasions, and if thew
do not see joyous time, then call on us for
the damages done.
The exercises of the Female College will be
resumed on the first Monday in October next,
and we know that College under the control
of such Professors and Teachers that this In
stitution is favored with will not fail to be
otherwise than successful. The patronage of
the public at large and the District especially
is respectfully solicited for this College
Young ladies will find it much to their advan.
tage TO be promptly at their places.a .at the COIN.
