The closing er ' erciac-s, consisting of recitations, essays' orations, music, c., look place in the afternoon and evening, in llicCanunftlite church.AFTBBTCOOX SESStOS.Tlte exercises were open with prayer Ijy Rev. 3fr. Hultoii, pastor of the Camntclite congregation of Pine Fiat, after which the “Welcome Song was sung by a large class cf the students, Miss Nolan, the music teacher, playing an accompaniment on the piano.Bella P. M’Corm jsh followed with an essay on ’‘Housekeeping as a Pine Art.” The essayist handled her subject very well. Jon. atban Davis declamed on the negative side of the question, Shall vre give up Hie Union?” Having a very good subject, he succeeded, easily, in convincing the audience of the utter fatuity of surrendering the Union under any circumstances. A dia-alogue, the “Tri-colors wa8 performed by three little girls, Misses Thorn, Jeifry and Young, who sung two or three patriotic songs very prettily. Dr. A. H. Armstrong, 3rst violinist, assisted by Mias Nolan at the piano, and by Messrs. Hadden and Huston, with second violin and flute, played M1-Clcllan's Quickstep” with pleasing a licet. Miss 31. Slav Huston recited Over theRiver,” and S. J. Huston gave the audience“Darius Green and Hia Plying Machine.” Darius’ unhappy experiment was narrated very effectively. The dialogue, “Scandal on the Brain,” evidently affected the young ladies, who had it in charge, very much and there was considerable halting and embarrassing pauses during its performance-owing doubtless to defective memorizine.Mamie Barr’s rendering of the Painter of Seville” was ibe best of the afternoon’s performances, evincing a complete compre lieBsion of the subject. The “Littlo Angels,” (dialogue,) and “How a Man Should lie Judged”—recitation—were not especially interesting. Tlie dialogue would have proven entertaining, however,. If the performers had maintained a proper gravity, but their risibilities were effected, and they couldn’t, help but snicker, Wo failed to bear the title of Miss Dunwiddio’s essay. Kiss Me to Sleep, a quartette, led by Miss Nolan, was very pretty. D, W. Griffith, in his oration, “American Crusades, pointed out the danger the nation is in from the demon of intemperance; reverted to the great sin of slavery that had passed away, and to the ignorance and superstition that yet found resting place in our midst. The moral of in’s effort, was that education should receive greater encouragement, to the end that the nation might shake itself free from the evils named. The oration showed careful study and was delivered very distinctly and satisfactorily. A song completed the afternoon’s performance, and the session adjourned.W (t'rCT'Kn cwwrrrvxr110Vfurr Urn on dnii resi sam wot ers Pap O Geo con: can foui tbrc killi Lore folk Bra one by ) the: cute —AageTrtisesthethe;ok*Mythethetheiis nbe tandit i*froido 4Yortaeitlicirectcanmaodeli Imy« fruit yom froii ed UIaniigcweancsniileeine
