productions of the young ladies a lii
tie more particularly. yet briefly.
VISIT TO THE LAND OF NOD.
Miss HATTIE FINIGAN chose thi
subject. Her essay was a dream, ful
of beautiful imagery. She passe'
from this vale of vanities to tina
Land, and returned. Her voice wa
hoarse and the articulation not dis
tinct. Her essay was entitled tt
much more credit than it received.

Miss MARY A. GLAssBURN han.
died the straws. Several hearers
were much pleased with the essay.
TOMORROW WE SHALL SAIL ON A
GREAT SEA.
Miss FANNY FORD did this subject
up beautifully. She read in a clear
voice. She told her associates that

and directed the different courses for
them to pursue. This was a pretty
essay of well-picked words.

and the reader showed
m acquaintance with her subject.
She spoke Of the Centennial; that a
hundred year Republic lived; of the

ng century.
WASTED WORK.
The subject of Miss ANNA w.
IANING's essay was the above. If we

eplete with new and sensible ideas,
PRACTICAL and logical. She touched
m dissatisfied labor and useless work,
nd touched them well. She told her

Hiss L. will furnish us her essay, we
will gladly publish it.-REP.

Miss EFFIE MCCLURE read clear
Y and distinctly. She spoke of
,ur institutions being founded upon
'du cation, law and morality; of the

cart went out in the direction of the
bage.
