In making the note of the success
of Miss Kate Hamilton and Miss Carrie
Pettigrew in securing positions in the
Treasury Dept, at Washington, by vir-
ture of their readiness in answering the
Civil Service Examination, we might
have mentioned that they were educated
in Raleigh, at st. Mary's.
The Medical College of Virginia, at
Richmond, is steadily rising. 1t has
about 100 students this fall, and corps of
Sprofessors. This is the college to which
the Southern students at the Phila. and
y. York College seeded in a body soon
after the John>Brown Raid. They were
met by a delegation at the State border.
and welcomed by the Governor, the
Mayor and a vast %ncour of people.
The hacks and omnibusses have had
quite an harvest carrying pretty girls
and big trunks from the train to st.
Marv's, the past fortnight. The veneer
able school has a larger pupilage than
ever before; there being about $50 al
ready enrolled, and others expected.
The extensive grounds, newly ornamen-
ted by the Art Building, present an at
tractive appearance on pleasant even
iugs, when the girls are promenading
under the trees, or watching the on
slant stream of carriages rolling by to
the Exposition which is less than a mile
distant. Parents placing their daugh-
tera at either of Raleigh's schools will
be able to visit them often during the
Exposition.
