Miss “ Birdie’’ was equal to the occasion however,! and to say that she met the expectation of her friends and realized the fondest hopes of I her relatives is but to re-echo the sentiment ot our entire community.

After the Lucy Cobb Institute march, composed for the occasion by Prof. Amende, Miss Susie Miltou, of Florida, came forward with a French salutatory. The French itself seemed to be smooth and literal, the accent pure aud the words rolled forth like a clear sparkling stream, bearing upon its surface ! au unknown, yet fascinating song. Diffidently, yet no less delightfully read, was “ Woman’s Mission,” by Miss Hattie , Fowler, of Atlan'a. Pretty 'thoughts borne j m J npon the petals of well chosen words nestled j like violets in a mossy bed, and added a Act s,veet inexpressible charm. “ Tlio words that bear a mission liigb, It music hallowed never die.” By Miss Ida Dorsev, of Athens, was nicely done.

Miss Amis Beusse, of Athens, came forth- was the task of Mi ss Tallulah uemns, of Esitontou, the charming Valetlictorian. Should we do that duty which our feelings dictate, we would attempt a synopsis of this essay, but since such would bud spoil, its beauty and mar its symmetry, we refrain. The Valedictory was an echo of the soul’s "deepest sentiment; the tributes to Mrs. Wnght and Mr. Heard, the principals, were feeling and affectionate; to the Trustees, appropriate; to her classmates, very aff -ct- ittg, indeed. Several members of the Press, we noticed, appropriated some of the senti ment to theinselves, when she was address* ing the Trustees. This was proper, and we suggest that in the tuture, some provision be""made for the “ reportorial farewell.” After the graduating song, Mr Heard, by virtue of the authority in him vested by the Charter of the Lucy Cobb Institute, presented diplomas to the following young ladies, with annexed d.-grees.

The Tear, a Pearly Drop io the "Window of the Son!; bat who may know the Longaaga it speaks. Was ivell painted with appropriate word poyver by Miss Lila Fleming, of Athens. Not the idln tear, but tears of sympathy, tears of gladnesit hud tiara of penitence. Beautiful allusions from Moore’s “Paradise a: d the Peri” gemmed this essay which was highly creditable to the reader. Miss Fleming was followed by Miss Mary Eberliart, also of Athens, and when this young lady announced that “To Bva in heart* we leave behind, I* not to die.” She was eminently correct. She fol lowed up tho assertion, lio\vever, with» good production, which iviis well read. Miss Susie Kelley, of Washington, dwelt wiy*»rgWwable.fervor iqion “The Past,” but was heranlf a striking personification of the beautifjK ^sent as well as a charming embodiment of a pleasant future Her composite ""as very fine, indeed. ^Hl Miss Ella Hearn, of Eatonton, noiv intro duced tho text—- . This world b loll of beauty As the worl l is above, And if we do oar duty It will prove a world of love. jj This indeed, is a very pleasant reflection; and ivhen Miss Hearii, an extremely fair specimen comes forivard and tells us so, why, the truth forces itself unalterably upon us." Certainly, Miss Hearn did her duty, and flying iier duty, did ivell. imy seemto some who view jucts chosen upon this and simi- easions through their practical specs, they are too sentimental, and ethereal tore. '''' ut it does not appear to us either strange or jhappropriate. that a young lady stepping from the threshold of school days upon the curbstone of life should indulge in beautiful tlimights, fanciful and ethereal t though they maybe. Such an occasion dob not demand As the day was now pretty well advanced we failed to secure a complete synopsis of Dr. Lipscomb’s elegant address which we should like to present to our renders. ‘ His subject was taken from those words ot Christ defending the woman against the imputa tions of the ’disciples in aunointing His feet with ointment from; the alabaster bust. 44 Why this ivaste.” Many of the sentences and bursts of eloquence were in Dr. Lipscomb’s usually grand style.

T. Arnold and Miss Eugenia IIill.—Few more brilliaut marriages take place than the one witnessed last evening in tiiis city, at the residence of Gen. D. H. Hill, the bride’s father. The bride, Miss Eugenia Hill, ivns one of the most cultivated and accomplished young ladies in this section of the State. Her cordial manner, modest demeanor and natu ral kindness of heart, had rendered her uni versally popular wherever knoivn; and be sides being connected with the • largest and most influential family in the State, the wedding was attended with more than the usual interest upon such occasions. Tho groom, Mr. Thomas Jackson Arnold, a nephew of the lamented Stoneivall Jackson, is a young lawyer of talent, from West Vir ginia, and we not only congratulate him upon tlie prize lie has secured, but the people of his State upon this new and charmiug addi tion to their society. One, the daughter of the brave and daring IIill, the other,,the nephew of the immortal Jackson, conspicu ous officers in the Confederate cause, it is not surprising that quite a number of admiring relatives and friends assembled to give their smites aud encouragement to the happy couple upon this most important event of their lives. The attendants weie as follows: 8 H. Chester, Miss Sallie Peck; < F. B. McDowell, Miss Mara/p Wilson; R- H. Morrison, Jr., Miss Bet tie Parks; T. F, ■Drayton, JK, Mite" Isabel Irwin; R. A". Shotwell. Miss Alice Alexand r; Frank Irwin,i Miss Lucv Reid; -R D. Graham, Miss Napiiie Hill; D. Hi Hill, Jr,, Miss Julia Jackson; and. as the groom ted his bride, arrayed in an hpporpriate end beauti- Jiii attire, many remarked that she never ap- "iv-ared more lovely Ibep on that occasion. The ceremony,was performed by that vener* able divine. K. H. Morrison, D. D . assisted by Rev.
