School EXHIBITION annual exhibition
of the pupils of St. Vincent Orphan Asylum
was held at the Asylum to-day in the presence
of the several pastors of the Roman Catholic
churches, and many friends and patrons of this
valuable institution. The children acquitted
themselves very creditably. Their specimens
of needle-work, writing, &c., were much ad-
mired We could not avoid remarking the
genteel appearance and excellent department
of these fatherless little girls, who by the
unrequited kindness Of the good Sisters of
Charity, have been rescued from the paths of
destruction, and provided with SO many COM
forts.

SANpFoRD's New ORLEANS OPERA TROUPE =
1t is little remarkable that every concert given
by this troupe in Washington was attended by
an oUeraowing audience until they offered bene-
fit to the National Monument Association, when
their hearers were sparse, and their net receipts
but twenty mine dollars and levy. This is
comical, but true Let us see what can be done
on Monday evening for the benefit of our two
Orphan Asylums. Something far better than
this, we are sure. Our people must have forgot
themselves last evening.
Tonight and tomorrow nigh our Georgetown

PROFITS OF AGRIcULTURE.-Smal wel-tilei
farms, from which there is easy access to good
markets, are often exceedingly profitable. We
have frequently been astonished at the revenue
derived from single kind Of fruit or vege-
table. A New Jersey paper remarks of the
straw berry trade of that State that on one night
of last week l32 wagons full Of the fruit passed
over the Hoboken ferry, principally from the
vicinity of Hackensack, Paterson, New Dur
ham, and Bergen. One gardener near Bergen
is said to have cleared $1,000 this season. A
large profit is reported to be derived also from
the manufacture of baskets in which the fruit
is conveyed to market, although they are sold
at the low rate Of one cent each! In. view Of
such statements rs this, how lamentable it is to
look upon the miserable, self indulgent lazy
beings, white and black, American and foreign,
who lounge about our cities amid shiftless dis
honesty.
