Female College was the most satistac-
tory that has ever occurred in connec-
lion with that thorough and well esiab-
lishe1 Institute.
The sermon by Rev. r. L. Abernethy,
ID. D., President OF Rutherford College,
who, on the 10Th Inst ., Al II g. M, sup
piled on short Notice the place OF Rev.
+. l. Read, Editor Of the Raleigh CATis-
tan Advocate, who was prevented from
attendance by an accident on the " est
ern North Carolina railroad, was rot
only satisfactory to the large and intel
Iigent audience, but thoroughly practl-
cal, fun Of great thoughts, at times elo-
queni, and good TO the use Of edifying.
Rev. Solomon Pool, ID. D., on the
same evening, at 81 O'clock, preached
the annual missionary sermon in behalf
Of the young ladies of the College
Missionary Society. The Doctor fully
sustained his reputation as q thoughtful
and eloquent divine, instructing and de-
lighting all by grand thoughts express
ed in beautiful, terse language. 1t is
impossible to listen to such discourse
without being made wiser and better
and becoming more thoroughly imbued
with individual responsibility in regard
70 the dissemination OF the gospel of
Christ te the uttermost parts of the
earth. The interest of the public in be-
half Of the Institution was fully devel-
oped by the very large, orderly, and aP-
preciative audience which greeted the
young ladies on the evening Of the llth,
at 81. The exercises consisting of reel
tations, essays, and vocal and instru-
mental music gratifed the faculty, de-
lighted the audience, and added new
lustre to the already well earned repu-
tation of the College.
The event ng of the 18th brought with
it the Common cement Exercises proper,
coLfned to the Senior class, The spa
cious auditorium, the galleries, the
aisles, the stage, every nook and corner
OF the vast chapel was literally packed
with an audience that in point of beau
~ and intelligence yielded to none ever
assembled in Asheville. Every per-
Torrance was of the most interesting
character and the exercises as q whole
were complete success. Six beautiful,
gifted, well educated young ladies re-
ceived full diplomas. Their names and
residences are as follows: NJ. Lou Nor
gan, Asheville, n. c.; Mamie c. Nor
gan, Asheville, N c.; Kate May New
land, Lenoir, n. C.; Mary B. Price, of
Emory, Va, Laura l.. Robertson, Ashe-
vile, n. c., and Undyne V. Wynn,
AshevilIe, N. c. The College sends
forth these young ladies as her repre-
sentatives and expects much at their
hands.
The College through the munificence
of three of Asheville's leading business
men distributes annually as many med
ais bearing the names of their founders.
These are the 'Buttrick Medal" for the
best reader in the College; the "Sawyer
Medal for the best English Compost
tion; and the ''Bearden Medal" for the
the best scholar in the Senior class.
After spirited contests, the "Buttrick
Medal was awarded to Miss Daisy Van
of Florida; the Sawyer
Medal" to Miss Mary B. Price, of EN-
DRY, Va, daughter OF Rev. r. N.
Price, of Holston conference, and the
"Bearden Medal to Miss NJ. Lou Nor
gan, of Asheville, N. &.
We learn from the catalogue that one
hundred and forty-seven young ladies
mstriculated during the session just
closed. These young ladies come from
ten different States extending from the
ice-bOund shores of Maine to the beau
tiful savannas Of Florida The faculty,
we notice, consists Of four experienced,
educated gentlemen and five ladies in
dependent of the business manager and
matron. We, with confidence, recon-
mend this Institution to the careful con-
sideration Of cur numerous patrons.
AsheYille passes every requisite for a
first class educational centre. The
healthful climate, the beautiful scenery,
the high neral and religious tone of
the citizens, the fidelity and experience
OF the Board of Instruction, and the
of the charges all point
to AsheVille as proper place for the
higher education of the young ladies of
this section of country. Prof. Sum
ners, one or the Faculty, will represent
the school in East Tennessee during the
summer. He will take great pleasure
In forwarding catalogues to such as may
desire them. Persons desiring specific
information are requested to CORE
spond. The Professor will also visit
such localities as may desire him 70 do
30 in the interest of the College. His
address will be Morristown, Tenn. Hap
py is the young lady who can avail her
self Of such advantages as await all
at Asheville, NC $50 .l.
