Smallpox Conference at Roncsverte.
Capt. L. &. Morton sends the follow
ing special to the Richmond Dispatch
from Anderson, as of the LIST instant:
"A conference upon the smallpox sit

day by the West Virginia State Board
OF Health, members of the district and
local boards, and town officials. There
were present DR.. Baker, of Martins
burg DR.. Ewing, of Charleston: DR..

corder, and Messrs. Bray and Whitney,
Councilmen, of Ronceverte.
After full comparison of views it
was decided that the quarantine meas

mission that there was danger of small
pox reaching the places where quaran-
tine was established, and, therefore,
hurtful to business.
DR.. Baker said he had just come from
Staunton, and an inspection of the pest.
house and other precautionary measures
there. He had seen the patients at the
pest-house playing ball inside the lines
and the quarantine regulations seemed
so strict that he was satisfied that West
Virginia points were in no more dan
ger from smallpox from that direction
than from Cincinnati.
The sense Of the meeting was ex
pressed in the following:
Whereas the report of the Secretar,
OF the State Board of Health, made tC
this meeting, and the result of per
sOnal visit of inspection to the city OF
stanton, show the disease TO be under
control, the cases well isolated anC

Whereas quarantine against othe
towns causes hardships, interferes will

ResolUed LIST, That it is the sense o
this meeting that any further quaran

DIPLOMAS.
During the session two of the young
ladies completed the full course of
study prescribed in the curriculum
and, as the Principal announced, were
entitled co diplomas of full graduation.
DIR. Lacy therefore presented diplomas
to Miss Nellie Brown, of Lewisburg,
and to Miss Bessie Pence, of Summers,
with few appropriate and touching
words of advice and counsel.
Thus closed the most successful SEES
sion of the Institute and during which
lO5 pupils were enrolled-a gain of 33
per cent. as announced by Mr. TelfOrd,
since the school was put under the care
of Greenbrier Presbytery.
Note.-Mr. Telford left yesterday
morning to accompany number of his
pupils as far as Hinton, on their way
home. We were thus unable to obtain

partments. These will be published

ART EXHIBIT.

We wish that we had ample space at
our disposal that we might mention in
detail the work of the sixteen or eigh-
teen pupils in this department of the
Institute. But our space being linn
tied and knowing that comparisons
cannot he publicly made without Civ
ing offenSe, we must he content with a
few general comments on the work of
the class rs whole. Without eXag-
Grafton or any desire to praise, where
praise is not merited, we feel assured
that all who saw the art display at the
Institute Monday evening will fully
Justify us in saying that it was the
largest, handSomest and by all odds the
hest the school has ever made, and re-
Elected great credit upon the efficiency
and skill of the teacher, Miss Chap
man, and even more upon the patient
zeal, skill and industry of her pupils.
The walls of the spacious dining hall
were literally covered with beautiful
pictures, most of them handsomely
framed and there were eaScls, tables
and cases all ladened with beautiful
specimenS of work done in this depart
ment. There were pictures OF ami
mails and birds, fruits and flowers, the
castle and the cottage, scenes from ma
ture-landscapes, mountains, valleys,
lakes, rivers, cataracts, the winter s
snow. the summers sunset, &c, &c.
done in water cOlOrs, crayon, pastel
and oil, showing the different kinds of
work and lines of art in which the tastes
and talents of the pupils had been
EMPLOYED. There was hardly picture
that would not make beautiful oTna
ment on the wall of any parlor in
| GreeEbrier.
The many beautiful specimens OF
China painting shown in this exhibit
deserve special mention and elected
unqualified praise from every visitor
This is the first session in which any
work in this line has been done at the
Institute, and Miss Chapman must fee
gratilied at the splendid showing hel
nupils have made. Miss Ruth Mason
who was pupil of the school this ses
sion only in the Art department, ex
bibted many specimens of her exquis
ite handiwork in China, which w,
think would do credit to any school il
the land. Her work was greatly ad
mired by the ladies particularly ant
they are our best judges of such things
