logue before us, dating back as
far as the class of 1S47, quite n
large number from Wheeling. Three
of the graduates of that year were from
this vicinity. The course ofinstruction

braces in the music line almost every
instrument, even the Violin. One of
the young ladies who graduated had
passed five years at the institution and
in that time had completed the entire
course of classics and mathematics
taught in the colleges of the
country. The expenses of edu-r
cation at Pleasant Hill. are certainly
very reasonable-viz: tuition for a seS-
sion of ten months-S25; other expenses

Quite an episode occurred at the close
ofthe recent commencement exercises.
One of the young ladies, Miss Toria
NJ. Linton, of Phillipsburgh, Ohio,
who had just finished her course and
received her diploma, entered upon a
somewhat more indefinite course by
stepping forward, quite unexpectedly
to the audience, and giving her hand,
as she had already given her heart, to
young gentleman of her home Vicini-
ty, who was in waiting to receive her,
and the two were made one flesh by the
officiating head of theinstitution, who,
of course, had been duly posted by ali
who had right, to know of this pleas
ant and somewhat romantic surprise.
Some five or six hundred people wit
messed this consummation OF thelabors
of the session.
