leaves its halls with the seal of the
Faculty upon her attachments, it is

guests Of last evening were perfectly

all. There was a perfect freedom
from restraint or formality Of any de.

particularly of those young ladies
who come to the College from abroad
Whether it was from this fact or not,
san open question, but certainly
they never appeared to better adj
vantage and never did scholars give
more palpable evidence Of happy,
healthful college life. Miss Taylor
seemed unusually proud of her fair
charges and the impressions they
produced upon sturdy lawmakers"

1t was surprise to US that we found
none Of our Mason county friends
patronizing this College. We advise
those who have daughters to educate
to send them to the Wheeling Femal.

PERSONALS.
Charley Wells, of Marion, is one Of
the jolliest and most efficient men,
bers in the House. Everybody likes
Charley.
I see the Register says: Speaker
Wilson has been making some
rulings, that did not please the
House." There has been 10 appeal
from any of his decisions. The item
did him an injustice, and l hope you
will correct it.
The Mason county members are
getting terribly homesick, l hardly
know what 10 do with Senator Bar
bee, in this respect.
Parkersburg is well represented for
the inaugural ceremonies, in the per-

Austin Beach, Esq, House repor,

Legislature in any State in this

accommodating Clerk.
