CLIFFORD COMMENCE MESI 1 An Occasion of AII-Round Enjoy incnt. i The musical recitation at the Cliffor ' Seminary Monday night was a sure:* 1 from slait 1o finish. There was a luj; number of visitors present, all of wIhmi seemed to enjoy the occasion immense!} m The young Indus performed well an sang very sweetly. Miss Mario Clifton made quite a hit, and was enthusiaali cally enchond. Slie took a- very prom I nent i>art in the entertainment. and , better selection could not have been made for t he dillicult pieces she p??i formed upoi the violin and the piano, brought fort I much applause from an apprecia'.ivi t audience. Miss Annie lingers alsi y handles the violin bow in a suioothc ant graceful manner. Miss Minnie Scotieh - is a sweet singer, and the audier.ci wanted to hear- more from her. She wa induce<l by special request to sing aoothei song after the programme was finished ) she sang a catchy selection to the grea \ delight of all present. ' Skylark Polka' by the Misses Birdie and Alice I.ancis ) ter, was very lino. Mis-; St. Clair san. "Mid the llush of the Golden Corn,' ) and it was one cf the best 0:1 the 1 ro ) gram. The piano Duet "Poet and Peasant,' ) by Misses Clifford and Partridge wa very line. ' The first song 011 the program "Silvei - Bells," by the class was well rendered * the tinkling bell could be heard dm in; ) the song which was very lilting am appropriate and added materially to iht effect. BACCALAUREATE CERMOX. The baccalaureate sermon preached in ' the Presbyterian1 church Sunday byili Kev. Geo. II. Cornelson was listened ti with the closest attention by a very large audience. We regret very much th it we were not able to hear the sermon ourse t', I being out of town at the time. ltut wt understand from those who were present that it was one of the linest senuo.ithat has Iteen heard in Union upon a like occasion. lie has a splendid voir \ over which he exercises a wonder! il control. lie speaks in a smoothe. ea<y style bringing out his points in a maun i ihat cariies tl?h conviction of truth with every sentence, and holds the audience to the closest attention to his words from beginning to end. lloa'.-n preached a very line sermon at night which was attended by almost it' not quite as large an audience as the morning sermon. This was another masterly effort-, and it seemed hard for the hearers to decide which sermon was the bid tor of the two. We hope to have Dr. Cor nelson with us again. AT TIIE OI'Elt.V IIOUSK, Tlie exercises at tin Opera House was attended by an audience which taxed llie seating capacity down stairs The Misses Oetzel, St Clair, Ann'e Rodger,' Mario Clifford and Minnii Scotield furnished the mu-ie for the <? : casion which was highly appreciated by the audience. Of course the greatest interest-w.n centered in the address of the evening t > be delivered by Mr. James M. Farr, sou of our townsman, Capt. F. M. Farr Mr. Farr is a deep student, possessed o;1 a very brilliant intellect. lie has just attained his 1'h. D. at the famous Joins Hopkins University, and this being his maiden effort before a public aulienco, and that audience composed of his friends at home who have known him from hi? childhood up, it is no wonder that great interest was manifested and that a largo audience listened with the closest attention to what lie had to say. IIis paper was one of the most intc-iesting that we have listened to insomeiim-', and showed a wide range of reading. Aud the masterly manner in which the subject was handled, the excellent choice of language in the construction of tbo well rounded sentences was an evidence of deep thought and careful study of tlie by-gone ages. His paper was n vr y careful and well prepared study from tl u Elizabethan age or from the very beginning of the English language to tht present time. Jin the progress of literature, woman was shown to have played a very prominent part, advaucing from the position of the satellite to the sun, man, to the distinquished position of a companion sun, more brilliant if anything than man himself in her niwerful influence in the advancement of education, and the instilling into the m'nds of the youth of the land a love for literature. We congratulate Mr. Farr uj?on his inaiden effort, and predict for him, in his future life with the same close application and deep research 'evidenced in liis first addnss, an abundane success. We regret that the lack of space prevents the publication of the paper this week. The deplonnis were delivered to the Misses Lancaster, the two young 1.alios who had completed the Seminary course, by the Itev. B. G. Clifford in a few timely words of advice sis to their futuie life. Also assuring them that tluy would leave Ix-hind them sit tne Seminary only the kindest recollections, their conduct had lieen such that they left no black mark behind tliern. We understand that their father brought each of them a line gol l watch when he came to Union to attend the festivities of the occasion. WKDiSKSDAY NIOHT. The weather Wednesday night was all that could be desiicd, ami consequently there was a large crowd at the Clifford Seminary to witness the exercises. The drill with the silvered hoops hy twentysix ladies dressed in pure white with glittering stars in their hair began, and they presented a pretty picture, just at this titne the electric aic light began to fiz and sputter, and with an expiring gasp went entirely out and the drill was stopped. Mr ClilTord and his corps of teachers as well as the young ladies were very much vexed at the occurrence, and the audience, or some of tiie sterner sex in it, felt like giving the electric light people a lecture for not satisfying themselves that the light was in proper shape. A man finally arrived ami put in new carbons but the light even then was very unsatisfactory. Mr. Clifford notwithstanding the disadvantages, allowed tlte drill to proceed, rather than disappoint the audience, liut the sputtering light attracted a good deal of attention and marred the enjojment of the occasion. The may pole dance by the children, 11 in number, was very pretty aud furnished amusement; s the children woiiM sometimes get their ribbons tangled. Tilts display of art was fully up to previous exhibitions an<l a few new features were added wliich were very pietty and well executed. The j>en 1 pictures "The Atneiicau Chaperon" and s The last clay of Summer, by Miss Marie, ;e with pen and ink on lawn cloth, showed 11 the hand ol? the aitist. A photograph ' on Kit in was a very tine piece of work, d Miss Clifford has also painted a picture I from memory of Dr. Austell's little girl i- that is a line resemblance, a p'?oto had i- never been taken. One of the prettiest, a sights on exhibition was the cabinet of decorated ehina the paintings had heen a burnt into the white china, this is very i delicate work and it was, all done at the 0 Seminary. u There were some beautiful pieces of 1 tatting and llattenburg lace on cxliibil tion, o.io piece of which lnvs taken .'1 a prem urns at fairs. s The CliiTord Seminary for young ladies r is a justly famous institution < f its . kind. No better place could lie selected t for the a'l-rnnnd education of the young ' ladies of our country. t 31 r.-i. Joscphcnc Fnrrar's Death. Mrs. .Toscphene, Fnrrar, relict of the Into, lamented -1 t!
