The Rnptist ColIege.

The closing exhibition last night OF
this growing institution attracted
dense crowd. The temporary building
in East Dallas was literally packed.
IL was our intention to have given
an account In detail, but HERALD re-
porter found 1t impossible to get any
" here where anything could be seen
or heard. There were however the
usual dialogues, essays, and instru-
mental and vocal music. The progress
made by the pupils, as well as the
course OF studies IL very satisfactory.
Under the direction of the Reverend
Mr.. Willburn, all old and experienced
professor, there is reason to believe
that the present large attendance will
be largely increased, and that when
the new college buildings are ready,
there will DO assembled one Of the larg-
est bodies OF students, as well as one Of
the most efficient corps Of teachers in
the State. THE HERALD Is informed
that the failure OF certain parties to
give the required bond, has retarded
the commencement of the work, but
that the contract has been accepted by
another firm that it Is believed can
give bond to-day, which being done.
the work will at once go forward.

Yesterday at two o'clock few Of the
parents aud some invited guests were
present At the school Of Mrs, Cougha.
nour TO witness tho closing exercises.
rhc school consists OF about forty
young misses, ranging Ia age rom i've
to fifteen years Of age. The children
were all dressed In white and were In
u llutter Of excitement and anticipa-
ton, but nevert hel ess, very modest
aud well behaved. There was nota
trace OF loudness about them. Their
deportmont was In every respect lady
like, and indicated that IN this admir-
ably conducted private school for
young misses, every attention Is given,
not Gully 10 the training of their minds,
but 10 tho formation Of their manners
and department upon u standard ofre-
hnement, gentleness and wonanly
dignity, Mrs, Coughnnour has had
twenty years OF experience as II
teacher, and all the young ladies who
have enjoyed the advantages OF her
precept and example have grown up
to DO las polished corner-stones OF the
temple" ornaments 80 their circles,
and pious, sensible well bred, refined
women. There IL none of the glare OF
notoriety aud the vulgar ambition Of
hgureing In the newspapers about
this school, or the pupils. II Is em-
phalically school for Young
ladies, where gentlemen can send their
daughters with the assurance that they
win DO educated under proper home
influences.
The exercises consisted OF u number
ofrecltations, n dialogue and the read
lug Of compositions, The pieces &C.
leGted for recitation were appropriate
and interesting. The dialogue, in
which number OF young misses took
part, WAS very clever, and the compo-
sitions were all good, and some evino-
ed decided literary talent. Three gold
medals, designed and made for the oc-
casion by Dram, the jeweler, were pre-
sented for great excellence In scholar
ship and department during the past
year. Mrs. Coughanour paid high
compliments to others for their uni
form studlousness, which We're evil
IDENTIFY deserved. We give the young
ladies credit for preierrlng the approx
al OF their parents, teachers and
friends to any mere newspaper notice,
which they should deprecate. Besides,
where there were 30 many Others be-
sides those who got medals, who were
very deserving, II would be an invidi-
Gus distinction to make any mention
Of one without others equally meri-
torlous. We were sorry, however, to
see so little interest taken by parents
In not being present upon this inter-
esting occasion. This is mistake
In them, for 1t ia not only encouraging
to scholars, but II courtesy due the
teachers That parents should At least
once ayear visit their children's school
aud see for themselves the mode and
manner of their chlldren's education.
After the exercises were over the
scholars and the invited guests repair
ed to the beautiful lawn in front Of Mr.
Coughanour's pretty place, where tho
children played games aud the hospi'
talIies OF tho house were extended IN
refreshments served with charming
grace and unaffected courtesy by the
young ladies Of the house aud their ao-
complished mother, the evening hav-
ing been delightfully."- spent.
