Commencement Exercises at
Young Female College.
THE CIVAPKL ABLAZE WITH LIGHT
AND BEAUTY—THE COMPOSITIONS,
ADDRESS, CONCERT, &C., &C.
Certainly we have never witnessed
more brilliant audience at any for
mer commencement, than filled the
Chapel building on Tuesday night.—
The hall was brilliantly illuminated,
the soft lights shedding their efful
gence over a sea of bright, happy
faces, turned anxiously toward the
rostrum. The cbnndalicrs, walls
and pillars, were elaborately fes
tooned with evergreens, showing in
pleasing contrast with the pure
white walls of the building. At
35 Misses. Alderman, Wisenlmker,
3Iullctte mid Ponder, took positions
at the grand Pianos on the right
and left of the stage, when the sweet
strains of “Forest Home 3Iareh,”
swelled out in measured tones.—
Dnring the performance of the
piece, the President, Faculty, Ora
tor and Graduating Class took ]M>si-
tions on the rostrum. The Rev.
Mr. Quarterman opened the exerci
ses with an appropriate prayer, nt
the conclusion of which,
MISS HENRIETTA VICKERS
proceeded to read the "Salutatory'’

was well written and well read.
MISS SI'llIK SMITH,
•Junior, next read a composition
on “Self-reliance” which, for diction
and well condenstnl thought, would
have been creditable to many older
bends. Next appeared
MISS MARY CRENSHAW,
who read an excellent composition
on “Happiness.” It showed a depth
of thought, and a comprehension of
the theme rarely itossesscd by one
of her age. She was followed by
MISS ROSA BENNETT,
who, takiug “Imagination** for her
theme, held the audience spell
Ixmnd, while in choice language
she portrayed the subject in bright
and vivid colors. 3Iiss R. was iu
turn followed by
MISS MATTIE AI.EXASIU.lt,
her subject, being “Reform.” Her
hits were many, and received with
ident satisfaction hv the audience;
esjas-iallv the parts toudiing up

presume were intended for the lien-
efit of the editors of the En
terprise, and we 1io|m* they
will profit by them. The close of

MISS MARY THOMAS,
one of the graduating class, who
read a <*oni]>ositiou; subject: “Snn-

Centennial Song—Ry tlic Class.
The “Centennial, ’ sung by the
class at the on elusion, was a fitting
finale to the evening. The class
appeared with white and pink
striped sashes, aud bine sleeveless
basques spangled with stars. The
effect was very fine. They were
roundly applauded, whether for
their good singing, or the neat,
unique and tasty costume, we conld
not tell—probably l>oth.
Thus has ended another com
mencement of Young Female Col

and upward. May its refining in

country, exercising their gentle
sway for good, and leaving the im

with whom they meet.
IYEDN»I»AY NIGHT.
CONCERT.
Again, as on the night previous,
the Chapel building was taxed to
its utmost capacity to accommodate
the* throng who gathered respon
sive to the charms of music At 8^
o’clock 3Iisses. 3Iallette and Wiseu-
Iinker took their places at the pianos
and cq»eued with Gen’l Rragg’s
3Iareh, accompanicsl by Mr.
Willie 3IcLeudon on the vio
lin. This was lint a prelude to
the rich treat which followed. This
first piece was succeeded by “O! Rest
less Sea,” sung bv Messrs.
Hardaway, Douglass aud Williams.
Next came “Souvenir cle Scotland”
by 3Iisscs. 3Iallette, Chaires, Wisen

To sum up. the (
Examination at FIctcfccr In.
HltRtr.
Tlie examination of the pupils of
this jK»pular J/ale Institute mine
off on Wednesday and Thursday.—
The examination was most thorough
and comprehensive, and listened to
by a large number on both days.—
The classes were examined Wednes
day, on Latin, Greek, German, En
glish Grammar, Algebra and Read
ing. The boys acquitted themselves
iu a highly creditable manner, show
ing that they had not only been
well and carefully taught, hut that
they possessed the capacity to com
prehend the most aljstmse questions
and problems.
On Thursday they were examin
ed on Greek, Latin, German, Trig
onometry and Arithmetic. The
classes iu Cicero, Horace, Geometry
aud Trigonometry stood a brilliant
examination, as did also the class
in Arithmetic composed of boys from
10 to 14 years old. 3Vc were particu
larly stuck with the prompt manner
in which those little fellows figured
out the most difficult mathematical
problems. The examination was
conducted by 3Iessrs. Scott and 31c-
Swain in a mauner which clearly
demonstrated that there was no put
up j. >b about it. The boys were put on
their metal, and thrown entirely up
on tlieir own resources.
This popular Institute 1ms taken
a new hold upon the confidence and
affections of the people, and bids
fair at no distant day to rank among
the foremost 3Iale schools in the
State.
The Fletcher Hoys at Youug
Chapel—-A Brilliant Sight—-
Another Throng.
The youug ladies graduating ex
ercises, the charms and attractions
of the brilliant concert the night be
fore, bad but whetted the popular
taste for the closing exercises of the
week—which occurred on Thursday
night. At sui early hour the build
ing was literally jammed with the
elite of town aud country to listen
to the Clays, Wcbsters aud Cal
houns of Fletcher, We regret
ry much that want of space pre
vents ils from giving the youug ora
tors a separate notice, but owing to
the huge number of speakers we
find it impossible to do so, We
may promise liv saying that tho dec
lamations were good—in fact some
of them better than we ever heard
from this hand of bright young
boys. Good order was main-
taind and everything passed off
pleasantly. The music was excel
lent, adding materially to the inter
est of the occasion.
Col. A. 1*. Wright, President Ra

Wc will not do the distinguished
gentleman the injustice of attempt
ing even an outline of his chaste and

would have to lx? heard tol>c appre

graceful speaker. He has fine com
mand of language, and that interest

chains the listener. The address
