AHNuAL EXERCISES OF THE LOCQCET 1SsTiTU-
TIoN,-We have attended school exhibitions for
many years past but that of the pupils of the
Locquet Institution at Odd Fellows Hallast night
has never been surpassed in our experience
About sunset the view from the gallery of the
magnificent hall, was one Of the most beautiful we
have ever witnessed. At that early hour almost
every chair was occupied The platform was neatly
fitted up in stage fashion. Immediately in front
were tine young ladies' of the Institute, and
their younger schoolmates, dressed in white, and
their entire toilets displaying a chaste and fault
less taste. The visitors were chiefly composed Of
ladies', and Of course, as might be expected on
such an occasion, the body of the hall presented
an array of matronly beauty and youthful lowell
ness that no city on the continent could eclipse or
equal. In the background the deep green foliage
Of the forest trees in Lafayette Square completed
picture which will not be readily erased from
the memory of these who had the pleasure of
looking upon it,
The following is the varied and most attractive
programme that was prepared for the occasion:

be much pleased to bestow on many of them more
than passing mention. We cannot refrain, how
ever, from paying brief tribute to Miss Ida Dema.

poetic feeling and admirable delivery were so con

given satisfaction to the accomplished acting prin-

Of the pupils.
The MAGAZINE STREET FIRE.-The stock in Mr.
G. N. Morrison's wholesale drug store, No. IL
Magazine street, destroyed by fire night before
last, was valued at $50 OOO There is insurance in
city Offices for $50, 600.
ARBEsTs.-Wm. ]. McCune was arrested last
evening by Officer Myers, on Front Levee street.
on charge preferred by John Farmer, of shoot
ing at him with intent to kill.
Wm: Coleman, Thos. Byrnes, Mrs. Byrnes and
Mrs. Cregan were arrested on a charge Of com
mitting an assault and battery on Augustus St.
Clair and his wife with intent to kill.
sHooT1NG.-A man named John NJ. Kelly, an
ex-tederal soldier, is in custody on charge of
shooting promiscuousy on board the Mobile boat
Louise Kelly alleges that another party made
him tight for the purpose of robbing him, and
while he was under the influence of liquor he
conducted himself in such manner that the mate
had to interfere. Kelly drew a revolver and fred
three shots at the mate, fortunately missing him,
but unfortunately one of the shots took effect on
passenger, Mr. Maserdle of New York 1t is
to be hoped that j. NJ. Kelly will be attended to in
such a manner as to cure him of any desire to mis-
use whisky and shooting irons.
Picnic PosTPoNED.-We are requested by Capt
j. Wilkinson, superintendent of the Carondelet
Street Methodist Episcopal Church Sabbath
school, to say that the picnic which was to have
been given to-day, by the pupils and teachers, is
postponed on account of the weather. until to-
morrow week. We trust that no disappointment
will then take place, and that the brightest sun
shine will attend the occasion.
BURGLARY.-Some time during night before
last, the burglars made quite valuable haul from
the shop of Mr.. Wm. Kalberlot tailor, at the cor
ner of st, Charles and Grod streets, as they sue.
ceeied in getting off with about a thousand dol
lars worth of goods. They tried to effect an en-
trance by forcing the door; but failing in that,
they broke through the window. It was a pretty
daring operation, as the premises are but square
from the main police station of the First District
INoUEsT-Coroner Deery yesterday held an
inquest on the body of Manuel Prats, aged between
five and six years. The deceased was the lad who
with his mother, and another child, were drowned
in Lake Pontchartrain, the schooner in which they
were being capsized by storm. The body ofthe
boy is the only one of the three recovered as yet
The master of the schooner, pilot, Mr. Prats and
his family, were the only persons on board when
the calamity occurred. 1t appears the lady and
children were sent below for safety when the
storm came on When the boat went over, it WASH
possible for the men to extrcate them, and they
were equally pOwerless to help themselves. The
agony of the husband and father at being thus
bereft Of his household treasures may be readily
conceived
