Commencement Exercises Baptist
Female College.

The commencement exercises of the Baptist
Female College were held, Thursday evening. ut
Hagcn's Opera House, amt although We have
seen larger crowds at the Baptist church, where
they have been held heretofore. and have rs often
been driven from one seat 10 another by the sur

ing place for even the soles Of our feet, yet We
have never attended the exercises on a similar
occasion with anything like the same degree Of
pleasure and comfort we experienced Thurs
day evening. The hall was iull-evcry seat on
the floor being taken up by the visiting parents
and friends of the young ladies of the school. and
the elite of Lexington and surrounding coun-

from all our colleges, who had chosen to sit
there because they couli see and hear better
than from any other part of the house. 1--WE sns-
prct that Prof. Fleet had Il design in filing the
gallery with handsome young ladies' instead of
leaving ii 10 the boys, who usually cungregate
there. and sometimes give expression 10 their
overflow Of spirits by stamping, whistling and
clapping. to the great discomfort amt an
