ward show than we ever saw exhlDltea In
closing a large school, yet the parents of the
pupils and the special friends Of the school
were present day and night, and all seemed
highly pleased at the advancement OF their
charges.
As we entered the chapel on Monday

school-boy friends passed in rapid review,
and when we caught the eye of our old
teacher, (Maj. Ryland,) we wondered If he
remembered the unlearned lessons and the

around, and looked at the walls to see where
But the walls are mended, the fort destroy
ed, and on the ground now stands one Of
the most flourishing and ably conducted
female semlnaries in the state.
Every citizen of Lexington is personally
interested in the prosperity Of this school,
and should give it all the encouragement in
their power. That the children committed
to the care of this college will be we'll taught
and cared for, the whole Methodist denom-
nation In our city stands as a guarantee,
and the church can justly point with pride
to fits institution Of learning.

large, owing to the warm weather and the
excitement In other parts Of the city. We

sweet, and the class joined in on the chorus,
filling the room with melody.
Inst umental Duet, Love at sight,"

entranced, aud the most perfect quiet pre-.
