w. +. L. SOIREE.-LaSG thursday nlgnl,
a private soiree was given by the young la
dies of the Wesleyan Female Institute, for
the benefit Of the Board Of Trustees. The
programme consisted of music, instrument
al and vocal, calsthenics and elocution, and
its superior rendition was pleasant indeed
to the audience. Some of those who attend
ed were present for the first time and to
them the entertainment was specially at
tractive. But the novelty is by no means
the prominent features which eXctes admir-
alton, for even with those who year in and
year out have witnessed these exhibitions,
and have seen the small juniors passing
from one department to another, until they
stepped forth into womanhood with diploma
in hand, there is an ever recurring freshness
and hearty appreciation which more pre-
tentious performances would fail to elicit.
Apart, however, from the personal interest
which we of the town entertain for the
young ladies, their exhibitions evidence tai
ent of no ordinary character, and the skill
and perfection with which the various parts
are sustained testify to the thorough instruc-
ton Impaired, and advertise effectively the
superior advantages of the school they at
tend. For years the Wesleyan Female In
stitute has enjoyed an enviable reputation,
and in the department Of music it ranks
second to none. Some OF the sweetest sim
gers we have ever listened to were those
who had been taught from rudiments to
graduation by Miss Lizzie Daniel, and as in
strumentalists, Prof. Ide's scholars are capa-
bic OF achievements Of which any instructor
might feel proud. No less thorough and
successful have been the other departments.
To excel seems to be the motto of this in
stitution, andin attaining] the high position
that has been accorded it in the catalogueSof
schools. it has laid the foundation in sys-
tenn of instruction thorough and complete.
In the entertainment of Thursday night,
the pupils acquitted themselves with credit,
and whetted the appetite for another season
Of enjoyment which we trust will not be
long deferred.

A FAMILY Mucu GIVEN TO MARRIAGE
One Of the curiosities Of West Alexander,
says the Washington Reporter, is its mar.
rying Justice Of the Peace, J.. F. Mayes.
Lots Of visitors make his acquaintance
with an eye to matrimonial business, but
he himself is no less an object OF curiosity
to many. They visit him look at him and
talk TO him as a man who has taken no
mean part in tho affairs OF the country,
Besides he comes OF a marrying train, con.
irmtng the belief that there Is something
in blood. His father, Isaac MayeS, came
TO that region in 1856. lie received the
appointment as Justice Of the Peace on
October llth, ISL, and by appointment
and election served in this office for thirty.
four years. During this period he mar.
ried $50 couples, His mantle fell upon
his sonJ !. F., who was born upon the lot on
which he o resides. Since 1862 he has
been elected four times ]. P, and up to
the last accounts had married l,467 coup.
les, This family was certainly much
given to marriage.
