So!REE AT THE WESLEYAN FEMALE INsTI-
TUTE.-The Soirsa al the Wesleyan Female In
stitute, week before last, was one or the most
pleasant and entertaining that it has been
our pleasure to attend for some time. 1t was
not public, and therefore the room was not
crowded almost to suffocation, has some
times heretofore been the case. From the open
ing exercises in caleatheG to the closing cha
rade, the entertainment was in every way
most charming and enjoyable. The varied
movements and the accurate rhythmic time
were deserving of the highest praise, and
showed that the instructress was thoroughly
familiar with the proper mode of teaching this
most healthful and graceful exercise; and OF
her pupils we can srsak 40 higher praise than
that they did credit to her teaching.
The musical portion of the entertainment,
both vocal and instrumental, was of the most
pleasing and charming character, and q high
testimonial to the efficiency of the Instructors
and the receptive talents of the pupils.
One of Ing marked features of the evening
was the character readings given by members
of the class in elocution. They zero highly
enjoyable, and several of the readers showed
remarkable histrionic talents. Altogether, the
entertainment was most excellent, and all who
speak of it have only words of praise.

truthfully remarks that *nothing can be more

since they serve the interests of the local COM

thereto, and their advertising columns may al
ways be accepted as a fair indication of the en-
terprise and business of the locality from which
they emanate. In these days the men who
want to do business and extend the sphere of
their operations must advertise; and it will in

guilty as charged in the Indictment against
him, and imposed the penalty fixed by law of
5000 fine.
Capt Pierce arrested q few weeks ago,
