AN ACCOUNT OF THE COMMENCE.

The Commencement Exercises of thi.
far famed successful female institution
long looked forward to by the pupils, theil
parents and frlends-have been THE enter
tainment and pleasure of the week Rev
W. W. Moore, D. D who had agreed te
preach the sermon before the graduating
class was water bound and could not reach
Raleigh. Rev. John S. Watkins took his
| place. His sermon was one of his very
best which is equivalent to saying that il
was an able, thoughtful, earnest gospe
sermon. 1t made profound impression
upon all who heard it and many were
heard to say that, though regretting DR..
Moore's enforced absence, the sermon was
fully up to any ever preached before the
class.

the large audience. The people of North

THE MUSICAL CONCERT.
Tuesday night is always the grand musi-
cal occasion at Peace. 1t is then that the
accomplished instructor, Prof. A. Bauman,
gives the public the benefit of an enter
tainment the equal of which is rarely
heard. Prof. Bauman readily stands in
the front rank of accomplished, conscien-
tlous, thorough instructors of music, and
his concerts are always excellent. This
year was no exception, as the fairly de-
lighted audience attested. We regret that
it is impossible for US to comment upon
