Annual cOmmencement-A creditable Ex-
hillitiOn and Large Attendance.

Yesterday morning a large number Of
the relatives and friends of the pupils OF
the La sislette Academy, on Third street,
were present to witness the annual COM
mencenlent of that popular and widely
known school, conducted by the Sisters.
The weHther was warm, yet the large hall
attached to the school house was pleasant
ly cool, and sll present seemed to enjoy a
few hoIIs of unalloyed pleasure. The
pupils, whose ages range from six or seven
to probably fifteen years, not only re-
Elected credit upon their teachers, who
evidently have spared no pains in their
instructions, but they exhibited an
amount of talent not often found among
misses 40 young in years. The vocal sbili-
ties of Miss Hollern and Miss Essig are
very superior-both young ladies having
excellent voices, while the instrument
tai music was also of a superior order and
was warmly received. A drama entitled
the Grown of Virtue" in which Miss NJ.
Cardonna enacted the part of Louise of
Orleans, - and Miss Marion Greerson was
"Queer of Virtue" was very creditably
performed. In this piece the Misses n
E'enWiek, E. Essig, M, Coulter, Kate Law
less, NJ. Gum, V. Cardonns, ]. B. Hicks,
also took parts, very accceptably to the
audience. After this, came g medley,
Joined in by some two dozen young ladies',
and then Miss Victoria CGrdonna delivered

tone of voice.
The drama Of "Regulus" then followed.
This as the feature of the occasion, and
the cast was as follows: "Regulus," Miss
Belle English; "Publius," Miss Rosa
Rose; "Licimius," Miss Mary Hsnnigan;
"ManIus, Miss Fannie NorVell; "Ham-
lear" Miss Sallie Bsson; "Cornelis,"
Miss j.. Chambers; HAttilca," Miss NJ
Hollern; "Boice," Miss NJ. Coulter; "Sena-
tor" Misses Hannigan, Leonard and Tin
dial. The piece is a serious one, tull of
dialogue, and was not only well dressed
hut wOlI acted. Miss English, Miss Nor
veil, Miss Rose, and Miss Bason deserve
especial mention, haVing acquitted them
selves splendidly. After the drama, the
"Victcrfa Quadrille," an instrumental
sextetre, was performed by six young
ladies on the piano. It was followed by
the anvil Chorus" also on the piano, by
q trio Of young ladies. The vocal chorus,
"Joer De Tete," wound up the days en-
tertsinment.
The following prizes were then awarded,
after which parents, children, and friends
took their departure to spend the sumnler
solstice-let us hope happily and pleas
antly--to meet again on the same occasion
next year.
