Presentation Of Diplomats. A. G. Wilson,

Benediction ........... Rev. Henry Thomas
There was excellence all through,
varying only in degree The salutatory
was marked by fine delivery, gesture
and enunciation. Independence of
Women was model presentation Of
graceful self-possession; "Friendship'
wasnot alone i'll nervousness which char
acterized the opening sentences, but she
recovered and closed nicely. "Lincoln -
perfectly mcmorized, but delivery little
toorapid. "Twentieth Century" -inarred
a tritle by prominence of manuscript;
otherwise very creditably done. "Class
History evidently an entertaining
sketch, was most feminine of all read
ings ON that account pleasing to the mas
culine heart BE Yourself" barring il
little too much attention to manuscript,
was nicely read. "The Power of Kind
ness enjoyed ii happy selection in Miss
Anthony, young lady whose voice,
tone and manner, exemplitied charity's
chief sub-grace This WAS one of the
best readings of the evening. Glass
Prophecy manifestly bright paper,
was read with spirit, evolling most pro-
nounced approval; points on her sisters
well made; carried off the honors of the
evening. 'Spendthrifts i'll Supcrlatives"
was recitcd with an ease and cultivation
showing authoress at home on the stage.
"Ambition nicely rendered and show
ing best handling of manuscript. "Vale-
dictory" was given fiuently and in good
voice and manner.
All We're literally rewarded with
boquets, sent up by admiring friends.
f. c. Beall delivered il lengthy address
on educational topics i'll general; L. J.
Ort Il brief, practical talk as teacher of
successful experience, and a. c. Will
liSon some excellent observations upon the
value of education.
Principal G.. w. Craig, i'll charge of the
programme carried it through with
celebrity. He had the forethought to see
that none of the numbers was too long.
The graduates are Misses
Grace Detilnbaugh. Pauline Leland.
Hannah Morgan. Helen Deflinbaugh.
Mabel Hitchins Lille CAN'T.
Florence Anthony. Katie Shriver.
Mamie Grove Craze Rowe.
And Messrs.-
George Hager. Owen Winters.
The young ladies looked very pretty
III their gowns of spotlcss white.
The JOURNALS criticisms do not cover
the matter of the work-only the manner.
1t was an enjoyable affair.
BROWNSVILLE SCHOOL.
Rev G.. G. Taylor opened with prayer
the exercises of School No. ("Browns-
ville') in Meats Opera House Wednes-
day evening.
The pupils We're gaily apparelcd in red
and white and carried flags and hoops of
same colorS.
The singing was very good, and il
little comedy by Misses Carrie Biggs,
Clara Byrd and Birdie Gales, and
masters John Hogsett and John Byrd
was well given.

"broom play by Miss Laura B. Carter.
The hoop drill and march, commanded
by Mrs. A. Bertha Rollins, assistant
teacher, was creditable reflex of the
care taken to school the pupils i'll the
evolutiOns.
The pupils We're much aided by the
piano Accomplishments of Mrs. Lavinia
Jones.
The exercises alternated with piano
exhibitions by "Blind Tom, No. o.
whose performance, though expert, is
far below the quality of that of his
great predecessor. Like the latter, how
ever, he starts the applause of his own
work himself. The jigs We're much en-
joyed by the little ones.
The enrolment of the school is Sc
average attendance 90.
The teachers have the pupils under
excellent discipline and the rccitations
reflected careful tuition.
The principal is William II. Dean, of
Front Royal, Va, while Mrs Rollins
comes from Washington, d. c. Both
are wanted for next year by the parents
of the children and both wish to return
