Thus ended the most brilliant closing exercises
that has ever been held by this time honored
! Institution
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE AUGUSTA
FEMALE SEMINARY.
1t has been my privilege for three consecutive
evenings of the present week to attend the con-
certs and other closing exercises of this widely
| known and deservedly popular institution and
| am sure that all who enjoyed the same privi-
lege will concur with me IN the opinion that the
music loving ctisens OF our good old town have
not often been so highly favored.
Nothing was wanting to render the scene one
| of rare interest and unparalleled briliancy-a
| scene delightful to witness, and long to be re-
| membered with pleasurable emotions, but diff
cult to ftly describe within the limits of news
| paper article. We must. perforce, content our
| selves with meagre outline Of the varied per-
| formances and exercises indicated in the elabo-
| rate programme, with which your readers are
| doubtless familiar, leaving the filling out-the
details and incidents, to some ADLER pen than
ours.
AS indicated in the programme, the entertain
ment for the first and second evenings consisted
| entirely of musc-rich, varied and we'll selected.
| The performances of all the young ladies were
creditable in the highest degree. clearly showing
| their training in this department to have been
| thorough and rejecting great credit upon their
| the musical advantages, both vocal and instru-
| mental, enjoyed by the pupils Of the Augusta
| Female Seminary, can not be surpassed, if
| equalled in any Institution in the South.
Where each and all did so we'll the parts as
| signed them, many of which were extremely
difficult of execution, it might be deemed nvid-
ious to particularze, but was especially pleased
| with the Duo from Mozarts Don Juan ~ and
| the good taste and artistic accuracy with which
| it was rendered, excited my highest admiration.
| The singing, too, very fine, and the admira-
| bic adaptation of the pieces selected to the
voices, together with accurate and delightfully."-
smooth execution of even the most difficult pas
sages shows beyond all question that those
| whose province 1t is to train and deveope the
vocal powers of the young ladies, understand
