LUTHERAN .
EXERCISES OF THE LUTHERAN scHo

EXERCISES OF THE LUTHERAN SCHOOL.
Situated in the west end of the city, on hill
commanding beautiful view Of the city and it's
surroundings, is the Stanton Female Seminary
conducted under the auspices of the Lutheran
church, which is one Of the most rapidly grow
ing educational institutions in the South. 1t is
only three ears old having been chartered by
the Legislature in 1870. During the first year
of its existence it had n pupils of whom were
boarders. This, its third session, it has Al pu-
pills of whom "a are boarders. They represent
five States, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee,
West Virginia and Maryland. Rev. J. l. Miller,
the princpa is Virginian, Lutheran minister
aud graduate as A. N. at Roanoke college. The
evidence of his success as an executive head of q
female college, may be found in the remarkably
rapid increase of its pupils. The Seminary has
assumed the position of the representative ed
ucational institution of the Lutheran dsaomi-
nation in the two Virginias, Maryland and the
South. Tho session lasting 40 weeks, closed
Tuesday night with exercises at the Lutheran
church. By opening hour, 81 o'clock, the
church was crowded. Rev. J. Fl, Barclay, of
Baltimore was to have delivered the address but
from illness in his family, did not come, and
Mr.. Miller secured the services of judge Hugh
W. Shelley, who kindly consented to fill the
place. 1t is hard to say how good Mr.. Barclay 8
would have been but it is safe to say it couldn't
have been better than Judge Shelley address,
though made with but few moments consider
alton. He made an audacous departure from
the regular solemnity Of school addresses, and
gave US charming speech sparkling with wit,
| balanced with good sensible practical advice,
and gemmed with eloquent appeals to the true
nobility of woman Mrs. G. P. Baker sung

plications already received will Target, increase
that school at the next session, and it will more
than maintain its ratio of progress the coming
scholastic year.
Tho rule adopted by tho Principal Of that in
