to some extent, at any rase. We must
speak in terms of praise, then, Of the
French composition BY Miss A. de Mon
sabert.
The purity Of the aooeut could not be sur
prising, for the beautiful language Is the
young lady's mother tongue; but there b
still room TO praise the felioitous sentences
Tho English recitation, by N. c. Oertling,
was fine piece of defamation, and the
English composition by Mrs. A. Ludwick,
was creditable composition happily re-
cited. But the literary gem ofthe occasion
was the valedictory by Miss L. Brown. 1t
was excellent, apart from the circumstance
of it's being the composition of young
girl.
At the close Of tho exercises the Official
addresses were made, and the dipiomas dis
tributed to the following graduates: Mise
Alice Lafitte, Miss Annie Ludwick, Miss
johanna Fitzgerald, Miss Lizzie Brown,
these four young ladies having passed per
feet examinations. Diplomas were also
awarded to the following graduates: Miles.
Alice de Monsabert. Marcella Curley. Caro-
line Oertling, Katie Killalea,. Josephine
Mayberry, Emma Dolan. The diplomas
given to the above pupils were based upon
the marks received by each during the
year, and during the written examination.
The scholarship evinced by the pupils, 30
creditable to the talents Of the teachers,
was undoubtedly gratifying to every per-
son in the audience, and it must have been
particularly so to the parents of the pupils
who were present.
The following are the studies in the school:
Ancient and Modern History, Algebra,
Geometry, Physical Geography, Natural
Philosophy, Chemistry, Rhetoric, including
composition; Literature and Bellies Lettres,
Intellectual Philosophy. French Language
apd Literature. The studies are enliveAed
by vocal music. and, We learn from the
principal. that musical notation Is to be
taught.
The following ladies form the corps Of
teachers: Mrs. C. Collerton. principal /;
Miles, r. A. Woodleigh, H. A. Suter. A. G.
Watson, associate teachers; Mrs. A. E.
Coiron, teacher Of French.
After the exercises were closed, and while
the visitors, scholars, and teachers were
pleasantly exchanging congratulations, six
of the happy graduates, without previous
notice, entered tho exhibition room bearing
a magnificent nougat cake. present to
Mrs. Collerton. There was no set speech or for
| NAL presentation; the young ladies modest
| " extended the sweet present, and before
the madame had an opportunity to express
her surprise they gided off in a joyful waits
