A unique and original sort Of celebra-
ton was held at the Wheeling Female Col-i
lege last evening, which served 10 show
that, however true the saying, "There is
nothing new under tho SUI" twas when
written, it is not true now. The event re
ferred to was the celebration Of the thir.
tieth anniversary Of Miss Taylors espousal
OF the cause OF education. Miss Taylor,
the efficient President Of the College, says
she is welded to her profession;it is her
first and only love; and II other people
celebrate the anniversary OF their we'd
dings, why not she? This argument seems
sound, and the reception given last night
was as enjoyable as many silver weddings.

and were very neat and appropriate. Last
