be heard from the platform Just as
well as in the romp of the parlor
or lawn, when you can get them to
open their pretty mouths.
1t was indeed a genuine pleasure
to every one in the great audience
to listen to the essays Every word
and sentence were spoken so dis
tinctly and full as to require no eff
fort to hear and follow the reader.
Bat in the midst of universal COM
mendation for all the exercises, we
are sure none of the class will OBJ
ject to special mention of the essay,
"Why?' by Miss Emma Walker,
that evinced so much depth of
thought, so impressively brought
out by the readers simplicity and
earnestness of tone and manner :;
nor would the popular heart allow
US to pass the sparkling, happy
humor of the Glass Prophecy by
Miss Laura Thompson, The read
ing of the present and future of her
class evidenced rare insight into
human nature on the part of Miss
Thompson, with perfect knack of
finding the happy side ofevery pic
ture, and then her earnest natural
ness of voice and manner, with per-
feet ease and freedom in delivery,
fairly captivated her hearers and
carried the audience by storm.
We are going to say right here
and now, if it costs us half the hair
on our head, that we don't like to
see girl-graduates rugged up either
for the coffin or ballroom; and to
shackle and bandage u lady's pretty
hand in long milk-snakey looking
white-kid, so as to compel her to
dive at her ESSAY in turning the
pages with the unavoidable clumsi-
ness of great pair of unwieldy
blacksmith tongs, is simply cruel
and inexcusable. Of course we
know nothing about dress, but
we've said what we've said.

Church Items.

We learn from the Morgantown
Post, that the Right Rev Bishop
Pcterkin conducted chapel services
in the University, one morning last
week, at the close of which, being
introduced to the students by Pres
ident Purinton, he addressed the
former in expressions of his interest
in West Virginia, and especially in
her schools and colleges. He spoke
also of the power of the Bible in the
worlds civilization and of the great
interest now in the New Revision.
Rev. w. w. Long, West Virginia
Bible Agent, who was in attendance
during the Convention, remained
over Sunday preaching at the NJ,
E. Church in the morning, and
Baptist Church in the evening.
On last Friday evening, Prof.
Reynolds, of ST. Adams, lectured in
University chapel on the Fright
and Expediency of Prohibitory Leg
islation."

COURT PRocEEDINGs.-We prom
promised to give the closing pro
ceedings of the Court just adjourn
ed, but finding the orders relating
mostly to the redemption Of lands,
and causes oflittle general interest,
and the convention taking up sc
much space this week, we thought
our readers would prefer what we
have given them.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-06-08

UNIVERSITY DAILY.-We are glad
to note the enterprise among the
Students at Morgantown. The
University Daily, published during
the anniversary season, by Mr., II.
n Ogden, of Fairmont, will doubt
less accomplish much good in ad-
yancing the interests of the Uni
yersity. Such enterprise should
and will be abundantly rewarded.

Rev. D. H. X. Dix, of Wheeling,

in session here last Wednesday, ar
ranging matters with reference to
the State Convention at Wheel
ing, as to free entertainment, trans

Convention Notes.

The happy feature of the Conven-
ton was the presence of the lady
delegates, full of earnestness and
active interest.
OF former pastors in this city,
Revs. J. 7. Whitley and C. (.
Manchester delighted their many
friends with their presence and Wis
its during the Convention.
During the reading of the report
of the Committee on Resolutions,
the passing of the trains on the
bridge compelled frequent suspen-
sion, eliciting the observation by
the President, that there were a
good many things that couldn't be
run in opposition to the B. & O.
R.R.
The many excellent singers of
the Parkersburg Churches and
Sunday Schools, ought to be hearth
ly ashamed of themselves for not
furnishing better singing during
the Convention. That's plain, but
isn't it so? AT some of the sessions
there was good singing, but with
the richness and volume of trained
voices in our city, the church
should have been kept resonant
with song throughout the Conven-
ton.
THE DELEGATES. - Ninety-one
regular delegates reported, from
nearly every portion of the State,
among whom were the following
ladies:
Misses M. l.. Vincent, Mary
Wells, Mollie Hindman, Cornelia
Hamilton, Matte Richardson, Val
lie V. Smith, Evaline Warner, EN-
ma McCollom, Mollie Harris, Mag
gle Mckee, Dora Bond, and Mag
gle Minear.
Mrs. C. 4. Morris, w. B. Thomp-
son, =. Mills, s. Behymer, -. Al
len, r. K. Kendall, A. Lowther, r.
A. Jones, and Mrs. Col. d. d. John
son.
We made pretty full notes of the
addresses by Rev. S. B. D. Prickett
and J. w. Carter, in the Tuesday
|evening discussion of the first topic,
Instrumentalities and Methods of
successful Sunday School work, but
in endeavoring to get the first
days proceedings in our last issue
(in which we failed) we had to con-
| dense.
Having procured for our next is
sue the address of Rev. N. r. Ham
er, on Glass Instruction, we will
also try and give our readers some
of the good things said by the two
Reverends first named.
The unfortunate feature oftheCon-
vention was the absence of so many
of the appointees for the discus
sions. There were ten topics as
signed to ten able Sunday School
workers, all of whom we are advis-
ed by the Executive Committee ac-
cepted the responsibility and prom
ised to perform the tasks, so that
the Committee is not to blame.
Just five of them came with lamps
trimmed and burning, and oil in
their vessels. Five didn't even
come near with dark lanterns OF
empty vessels. Some were kept
away by sickness, but we doubt il
all can render an excuse common
surate with the great loss to the
Sunday School work by their alb
sence.
1t is to be hoped that no one on
the programme nextyear will allow
himself to be absent.
