BAPTIST FEMALE COLLEGE.

We were present at the opening exercises
of this fiourishing college last Monday morn
ing, and were charmed with the evidences OF
prosperity and advancement there apparent.
We were agreeably impressed with the ex-
ccllcnt order that prevailed everywhere. All
order that seemed to he one of choice,
rather than of a rigid enforcement of all iron
rule of restraint. "a distinction that will be
readily appreciated by teacarrs.) The exer-
c,ses consisted of singing and prayer. The
singing under the instruction and leadership
OF Prof. Tillotsie and Miss l;oyakin, was or
the finest order. Prayer by the President,
Dr. Selph. As the grand old anthems
Of praise to God were borne up to heaven
upon y hundred united voices, aud the plead.
iIxk for Divine guidance went out from .
hundred hearts, We could but feel that the
blessing Of God must rest upon this school,
In accordance with His never falling promis-
es.
For nearly thirty years has shi, Institution

war and all other adverse circumstances
Its friends have never wavered In its support.

Mr.. waddell was born in Virginia. and re-
moved with his parents to kentucky at an early
age. where he spent his youth and married.
In ls3G, just 36 years ago, when all of L.exing-
ton consisted Ola few houses in Old Town, he
cmigrated TO this county. lie settled in Licking
ton, and soon after his arrival became one Of the
leading business men of the city. From that
time until his death he was identified IN svmpa-
thy and purse with his adopted home, and his
libcrality, enterprise AMI activity contributed as
much, if not more than any other one man to the
growth of our city. About the year 1855, as SEN
Tor member of the firm of waddcn, Russcl& Co,
ne embarked in the frcighting business across the
plains, taking large contracts from the govern
ment and doing business To the extent of mil
lions of dollars. Being a fine business man and
q shrcwd flnancier, his accommodations were
rapid, and IN II very few years he found himself
in the possession of Il large fortune. But in 1864
an unexpected reverse of fortune swept away the
largest portion of his property. Soon after this
already advanced in life, and somewhat dis
heartcned by his great financial losses. he re-
tired from active business life. From that tim,
until the day of his death, lbs health declined
and during the last ten years Of his life he cndur
ed the double affection of u body tortured b!
