sermon was delivered from the Presby.
terrain pulpit by Rev. Jos. II. Rennie
of Covington, Kentucky, from the text
What Think Ye of Christi and he
delivered an able and earnest discourse
to one of the largest audiences wehave
ever seen assembled in the Church.
Our space is too limited to admit of
further notice.
ART EXHIBIT.
Monday evening the spacious Dining
Hall and adjacent rooms of the Insti-
tute building were thrown open and
the public invited to see the work done
by the pupils in the Art Department
during the session. BY common con
sent it was the largest and handsomest
exhibit eyer made by the school and all
wondered how the girls could accom-
plish so much in one session. All of
the work was meritorlous, showing
rapid progress and improvement, and
much Of 1t Of high order. The walls
were lined with beautiful oil paintings,
water colors, pastels, crayons, &c, and
appropriately arranged on number of
tables was the exquisite work in china
painting, done by the pupils in this de-
partment. The exhibit spoke elo-
quently of the skill and efficiency of
Miss Chapman, the teacher, and the
aptitude and industry OF the pupils.
Tuesday night the interesting closing
exercises in the Town Hall were wit
messed by the largest crowd we have
ever seen there, all the aisles even being
packed and many being compelled to
stand. Mr.. TelfOrd announced that the
session in point of attendance, partlcu-
larly Of young ladies from a distance,
and of the character of work done had
been the best and most satisfactory
since he had had charge of the school.
Below will be found list of the pu-
pills, who successfully passed their ex-
aminations in the various departments
named. The granting of the medals to
the fortunate recipients, provoked en-
thusiastic applause, and when Miss
Harriet Pence, of Monroe county, and
Miss Bessie Ech OILS, of Lewisburg, came
forward to receive their diplomas of
graduation the audience, by the pro-
longed applause with which the young
ladies were greeted, fully testified its in
terest, admiration and approval. We
regret that we haven't room to publish
the musical program of the evening.
