ST. AGNES HALL, TERRE HAUTE
The Commencement exercises OF this
admira BILE institution were held il
the Chapel on Tuesday evening, june
18th. A large and appreciative audi.
ence were present, whose interest re.
NAMED unabated during the reading
OF the essays, and the performance Of
the music with which the services
were enlivened.
Seven young ladies' graduated on
this occasion, and their proficiency as
exhibited in their examinations. and
upon the rostrum in their essays, and
musical performances, both vocal and
| instrumental, indicate that the time
spent within the walls of their Alma
e
ployed, and that they bad made a
good use OF the privileges extended
to them in this Seminary.
When all were so good and well
delivered, 1t were almost invidious to
particularize, but we cannot forbear
to mention the Essay by Miss Lieuella
Gephart; subject, Godfrey Chaucer,
as a remarkable fine specimen of
beautiful and thoughtful composition.
The language was elegant and clear,
and it was well delivered; exceeding
ly so, though the. fair reader was
laboring under severe cold.
The essay by Mss Julia A. Hurry,
subject, The True. the Beautiful and
the Good, ELECTED universal common
dation for similar reasons.
Truth Pictured in Symbols was n
essay by Miss Louise NJ Bright,
carefully written and well-rendered
production, which showed thorough
acquaintance with the subject the fair
authoress was endeavoring to handle.
Miss Caradora Truesdell read an es-
say upon The Cultivation Of Taste In
Art, which was Of very high order of
composition, and indicated .laborious
thought and extensive information
upon the subject she was treating.
Miss Truesdale was the vaiedictori-
an Of the class, and, we were inform
ed, stands very high with the teach
ers. and officers of the institution as a
diligent and patient student, faith 4
full, afectionate and obedient pupil,
and kind and considerate classmate.
The music on the occasion was I'M
der the charge of Prof. Mieninger. 4
an accomplished musician, who,- with
his wife, has the education of that
department of instruction at the
Hall. Both the vocal and instrument
tai pieces were thoroughly rendered
In most excellent taste, good time
and tune. Mr.. and Mrs. Mieninger
are artists of the first class, and we
sincerely congratulate the institution
upon their acquisition, and hope they
may be long retained in connection
with it. We are fully persuaded that
no better or more faithful Instructors
can be found in any College ia the
land. .4F .ag sEFvF

the lateness of the hour compelled
him to abridge somewhat his remarks. +
If the young ladies of the graduating
class of 1867, will keep in memory his
afectionate and fatherly counse,s
given them at this time, they will GER
tainly avoid many dangers, and many
to life of usefulness and
holiness here, and, as they will aim
