The Female College, under the care OF the
Eevs. Lander and Jones, wc are pleased to
say, is in fpurishing condition, and num-
bers, within small fraction, one hundred
young ladies, with q prospect of still

the discipline firm. Very particular atten-

May both of these institutions meet the sue

We noticed but little change in the ap>
pearance Of the town Of Sparlanbarg, in the
way Of building, and, but that many of the
old residents are painting and otherwise i'm
proving their dwellings, it would look as it
did over twenty years ago, when first we
saw it. Now, however, change will come
over the spirit of its dream, as the air line
railroad, being pu'hcd forward 10 complies
ton, and running Immediately through the
| town, will effect wonders. Already property
is advancing in value, and houses in great
| demand by persons from other sections, who
see the signs OF future greatness and busi-
ness prosperity, and which, added to a
heal,hful climate, and delightful water, will,
1t is predicted by some, make the town Z
| second Atlanta. We shall see.
Among the notable features Of the town,
is the extensive carriage and wagon factory
Of Mr. Fowler, which VIC examined attcn-
lively. air. Fowler turns out the handsom-
est and best carriages, buggies and wagons
we ever saw, and the specimens on hand are
beautiful to behold, and, too, possess the
merit of being built to last, every one of
which is warranted for two years. 1t is the
most complete establishment of its kind in
the State, and is capable, with its many la
bor-saring machines, which are all run by
steam, of supplying q great demand. and
certainly competing with any other, North
or South.
We had almost forgotten to mention the
last act in the Commencement programme,
and that was the grand reception, promo
made. and collation. entertainment, on We'd
nesday night, which everybody, and the
rest of mankind, with perfect cataractical
sprinkling of natures fairest work-wo'u"n
part. cipated in. Music also here lent an
additional charm to the fairy scene. The
extent Of our participation in this free in
diligence, was au adniring look into the va
rous rooms, so late the scene Of silent study,
but now filled with fair forms, dazzling with
bright glances, and oyerdowing with joyous
voices. We looked, and looked again, but
did not venture into the charmed circle, be-
cause first for fatigue, and secondly that we
do not like very large crowds; it is so cH>
trcmely dangerous to take tender corn into
scch places, aud to tell the truth, we
infinitely prefer our muslin, laces and rib
bons in small doses. Twelve or fifteen
yards, according to the prevailing style, is
sufficient for our happiness; any more than
thar is pretty certain t6opset our equilibrium.
The melancholy end of Bowen, too, was
fresh in mind, and the inspired thought of
the poet, S'fromrthe glance Of her eye, shun
danger and fly, for fatafs the glance" SC,
kept intruding. therefore We turned away
with sigh, and in company with good and
