WaynesbOro' Items.
This communication was intended
to be published in the issue of last
week, but was unavoidably postponed
Our usually quiet little town was all
excitement last week, owing to the COM
mencement Exercises of the Waynes-
boro' Female Seminary, which look
place in the Opera House on Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, 9Th and 7th inst.
At an early hour crowds were seen hur-
rying to the Hall to witness that beau.
tiful fairy play, sleeping Beauty,
Notwithstanding the stage was crowded
by the performers it was pronounced
by all most excellent performance.
The Hall was crowded and dozens had
to be refused admittance. Too much
praise cannot be given the following
Young ladies for the splendid manner
in which they acted their various parts !:
Misses Willie Coyner. Willie Jones,
Mollie Sullenberger, Estelle Shackel-
ford, Carrie Davis, Mollie Bush, Maggie
Warwick, and Annie Antrim. The
girls all looked lovely in their different
costumes, but special mention should
be made Of Miss Willie Coyner's.. Ev-
ery one agreed that it was a handsome
dress, and that she as Sleeping Beauty
was simply beautiful.
The programme for Wednesday night
opened with Calisthenic exercises with
dumb bells, and was enjoyed very much
by the audience, as it was new to the ma
jority. After which came the various
choruses, piano duets, piano solos, vocal
duets, and vocal solos,
The following vocal duets ought to
be specially mentioned: "Oh! Happy
Swallow" by Misses Willie Coyner and
Laura Smith "Alpine Morning." by
Miss Loula Leonard; "Adieu to the
Woodlands" by Misses Laura Smith and
Annie Antrim. The only vocal solo o.
the evening was, "Sing, Sweet Bird, =

The Principal, Mrs. A. T. Stands, as
sisted by her sister, both graduates O.

as dozens of applications have been re-
ceived from parents who want to entel
their daughters.
Last Thursday night a Hop was given
in the Opera House by the young men
of the town to the young men of the
Fishburne High School, and it was GER
tainly success, although it was CRIED
down by a great many sore-heads Of
the town; but that seemed to give thu
young men more energy, and they
worked with will and were well re-
warded by having dance that will be
remembered for years, and one pro-
nounced by all to have been the incest
affair of the kind ever had in "Little
Tammany." There were about seventy.
five ladies and gentlemen present. Al
IL o'clock, the dancers repaired to the
Bruce House," where an elegant sup
per awaited them. After supper, they
danced till about 2 o'clock and finished
with the Virginia Reel"
