The Art Exhibition.

The ART EXllDltlOn OF Cne ANueFSOu
Female Seminary OIL last Tuesday even
ing attracted a large crowd of the lovers
of the beautiful. The collection was made
up of work executed during the past ses-
sion. There were about one hundred and
forty specimens displayed, and some of
them would bear favorable comparison
with the work of more pretentious artists.
Out Of the many, we regret to be able
only to mention few of the pictures.
Among the oil paintings, the following

There were number Of cards, panels,
plaques (brass, porcelain, wooden, tin
and papier machc), and vases exhib-
exhibited, all of which elected gen.
eral admiration. Even the unskilled
in matters of art could appreciate the
many works that eloquently bespoke the
untiring zeal and the thorough competen-
cy Miss Goodman, rs teacher, has dis
played. She leaves for her home in Vir-
ginia in few days, and in the regret
which her many pupils feel at her depart
ure, the entire community joins, and bids
her success wherever her future field Of
labors may be.
This exhibition was the opening of the
Commencement exercises of the Semina-
ry, which conclude Friday evening.
