WHEELING FEMALE COLLEGE.
SoireC Observation-Disclosures Entertain
mpnt.

The scholars OF the Wheeling Female !
College gave holiday entertainment
last evening at the Seminary IN South
Wheeling. There was a large gather
Jug of friends present, who were seated
in the nam hail which was crowded,
rs well rs the passage way
leading to it. Among the citize*s
present were Hon. Chester Hubbard, Mr.
James Maxwell, Councilman Mortimer
Pollock, o. 5. Long, Esq &. c. johnson,
of the Leader, Mr.. Frank Booth, and
many others. Miss Taylor principal OF
the seminary presided.
The exercises consisted principally OF
singing, recitations and readings, open
Ing with an instrumental Duet by Mis-.
Gamble and Miss Barnes. Miss Ida Ber-
ger followed with u recitation entitled
"Wounded.'
Prof. Snultz, of st. Louis, was then m
troduced by Miss Taylor, who sang very
acceptably a volunteer selection "3iessed
is he that cometh in the name OF the
Lord"
Mrs. Gamble and Misses Campbell and
Barnes then followed with trio by Con-
cone.
Miss Matte d. Hubbard next, in
clear, strong and admirable voice, read,
Don't run in debt which was well re-
celvcd.
Mrs. Haynes then gave piano so!o'
In Ho,pe Eoiio". and Miss Adeha Fol
lack. in the place of Miss Ida Hall, who
was to have read but who was unable to
be present, owing to illness, volunteered
a comic recitation entitled sale of Old
Bachelors" which was rendered with an
intelligent appreciation of the sentiment
and with an aptness that called forth
hearty applause.
Then came in the following order:
Solo-"Sleep Well by Miss Holidays
*Retour Du Printemps,' BY Miss Barnes;
"Coquette Punished" by Miss Virginia
Miller; Solo-"Magnetic Walt by Miss
HAYNES; Recitation-"Bo,r oboola Cha,
by Miss Ella Mccoy; Duett-'Wander-
ing DER the Mountains" by Misses Holt
day and Barnes.
Miss Isadorc Pollock then read Up
and Down. by Phcbe Carey, which re-
ceived the closest attention, being read
with distinctncss of utterance
and such an apprehension of
the spirit Of the poor, that eyinced
u high order of talent, which only re-
quires application and devotion to excel.
Miss Virginia Pendleton also gave
selection, "Bernardo Del Carpio,' that
was received with great satisfaction.
Miss Pendleton has round, fall voice,
enuncates very distinctly, and
seems remarkably self-possessed. This
young lady would, we judge,
excel in almost any study to which she
might devote herself.
Miss Adelia Pollack, who recitcd "The
smack in school" was doubtless the most
natural and graceful among the young
ladies taking part Her pieces were comic'
but were peculiarly adapted to her, and
because of the ease aid readiness with
which they were detained, gave the
greatest satisfaction.
Prof. Shultz sang another volunteer
song, when the exercises were brought
to close by solo, "Love's Delight
which WAS well sung by Miss Campbell.
A number of the young ladies, were
tastefully arrayed in evening costumes.
The bright ribbons, beautiful flowers and
soft laccs vieing with, but not ecliPsing,
the bright eyes, rosy cheeks and delicate
compilations of the young and happy
maidens.
At the close of the exercises Miss Tay-
lor came forward and invited the friends
of the Institute 10 spend social hour
with her and her pupils in the parlors OF
the building. Thanking the audience
for their kind attention, Miss Taylor
wished them merry Christmas and Il
happy New Year.
