hibiti09 Last Ereniag.-A large audience
was present last evening at the Female
College, gathered there to witness the ex-
hibition Of the Junior Glass OF this Insti-
tuition. 1t is very tlattering, indeed, to
note the large audiences that are present
on occasions OF the nature OF last evening.
The fact speaks volumes for the estima-
ton in which the College is held by the
public, and we might truthfully add that
the institution is wholly worthy OF this
popular esteem. 1t must also be crafty
ing to tho worthy President, Miss Taylor,
to feel that the effort she has made to
build up reputable institution OF learn
ing for young ladies is appreciated. Her
work certainly shows grand results-re-
suits which show for oil time.
Last evenings performance was some
what Of novelty in the way Of Junior
exhibitions, from the fact that fair divis-
ion was made in the performances be-
tween music, essay and recitation, va
riety that relieved the entertainment Of
monotony. This innovation in Junior
exhibitions was highly appreciated by the
audience last evening, for which they
were entirely indebted to the thoughtful
ness OF the Preceptress.
The entertainment was opened with an
instrumental selection by Miss Boyd, OF
this city, and Miss Allen, OF Grafton, W..
Va, which was executed in a graceful
style, and called for hearty appreciation at
the close. Passing Away" an essay by
Miss Ida NJ. Armstrong, daughter Of Capt.
John A. Armstrong, ofthe Seventh Ward,
was read in clear voice. The paper con-
tanned many choice thoughts on the mu.
recitation by Miss Mollie A. Hildreth,
OF this city, entitled, "a Tangled Skein,"
which was delivered in an attractive man
ner. A vocal selection by Miss Leonard,
OF Boston, Mass, oi very difficult execution,
was cordially received.
"Earth's Battle Fields,n an essay, by
Miss Lulu Rambo, OF Bellalre, O., daughter
Of Rev. Rambo, was reflective compo-
sition Of great merit. Miss Angie Gray,
Of Martins Ferry, Ohio, gave a very intel
ligent Interpretation OF 1.-THE Foreclosure
Of the Mortgage" and was rewarded by

teresting performance, reading an essay In
French on La LaagLe Polio, which held
the breathless attention OF the audience
during its entire delivery. Miss Clara
Wallace entertained the audience next
with a very pretty instrumental selection.
Miss ]. Bird Wilson, daughter OF Rev.
W. @. Wilson, OF this city, gave US the
gem-of the evening, reading very well
prepared essay, pleasantly delivered
on "Gems," which contained many re.
ferences that were highly appreciated by
the class and the President Miss Ella i.
Lewis, OF this city, was down on the pro-
gramme for an instrumental selection,
which she executed in brilliant style and
finish. THE Juniors Valedictory," read
by Miss Jennie Gray, OF Martins Ferry,
o., was a pleasing performance, and called
from the audience approving demonstra.
tons. Prof.. Hermann closed the exer:
cises Of the evening with an instrumental
selection, which was executed in the
Professors usual brilliant style.
The Junior Glass having retired tothe
parlors at the close OF the entertainment
held a miniature court in receiving the
and compliments Of their
friends. The entertainment gives US an
opportunity OF complimenting Miss Taylor
on the thorough training she has given
her pupils, and Of the evidence OF advance
ment the musical scholars showed in their
we'll executed solos. In every perform.
ance there was that present which evi.
denced care, patience and thoroughness
in instruction, which, unfortunately, does
not pervade the class rooms Of many edu-
cational institutions OF the land. The
which by the way were
much admired, were from the lSTELLE.
