The closing exercises of the Mary Bal
dwin Seminary were held on Tuesday morn
ing and the students took their leave fol
home. The session was prosperous one
and the yonng ladies were the picture OF
health when they left. The attendance fol
the year was large, and never were there
final exercises of more interest. We wish
our space enabled US to give detailed ac-
count of their exercises, and mention per-
sonalIy and singly the success achieved by
each. But this is not permitted to us, so
that we must content ourselves with general
mention only.
The art exhibition was of the highest or.
der of merit and all who visited it were de-
lighted On Sunday the Bacealaureate SER
mon by Rev. DR.. White of Washington and
Lee. was delivered to large audience and
was greatly enjoyed. On Monday evening,
the final concert drew a large crowd people
and was intensely enjoyed, and the closing
exercises on Tuesday ended session long
to be remembered. On Tuesday the alumni
present as tribute to the revered memory of
Miss Mary Julia Baldwin went to Thornrose
cemetery and decorated her grave with a
profusion of beautiful flowers.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public schools of this city closed on
| Tuesday, 31st. At both the white and col
ored schools exhibits of much interest were
| wood work writing and in the department
| of cooking, chemistry, &c.
On Tuesday morning about half past nine
the children of the white school began as,
sembling at the public school building, and
| at 1890 began marching to Columbian Hall
when a large crowd had gathered and
marched into the hall to the strains of the
Stonewall Band. There was program ar
| ranged which included the music by the
school, the delivery of distinctions and
medals, but the principal feature of the day
was the address made by the DIR. j. l.. NJ.
Curry. 1t is impossible in our limited space,
to give list Of all the distinctions awarded
or an account of DR.. Curry's address which
would carry an idea of its ornateness its
force, or appropriateness, but it abounded
in all these features, and in it was most
beautiful and fitting tribute to Miss Mary
Julia Baldwin, whose life work of educa-
ton and Christian charity, are fresh in the
memories Of onr people and so cherished n
inheritance to us all that the fitness of the
tribute was Of the highest order.
The schools have made splendid progress
during the year and are so creditable to the
city, and those connected with them, and
so beneficial to the community at large that
their value cannot be we'll estimated by any
measurement at our command.
