permIttcu us to be present at the first and last
named institutions-the former on Monday and
the latter on Thursday--at both of which we
we're more than gratifed with what we say and
heard. Of the exhibition at ST. Aloysus we
would gladly speak in detail did space permit
but as it is we can only commend the young
ladies, one and all. for the great proficiency
and high order of talents thoy displayed. The
honor of Cambria county was we'll sustane ed
by Miss Adams. the accomplished daughter of
81. Adams, Esq, OF Cresson, whose great
proficiency in defamation, vocal music and
at the piano and in the drama of the blind
Princess" was beyond all praise Miss Rod
riguc, niece Of our townsman, X. l. Johnston.
Esq. is one of the finest performers on the
piano and harp we have ever had the pleasure
of listening to, while her rendering of the char
acter of the Blind Princess" and her pro
nouncement of the Valedctory won for her the
plaudits of all present. So too with the efforts
of Miss Schoonmaker, of Butler, the sweetest
of sweet singers. as also Miss Cosgrave, and
many others, who in tie play and throughout
the entire performances maintained thems ell YES
with becoming dignity and displayed accom-,
plishnents which render them in the highest
degree ornaments TO their sex. If we mistake
DOt the high honor of the golden cross was
conferred upon Misses Adams, Rodrigue
Scboonrasker and Cosgrave, W hile suitable pre-
miums were awarded 10 each OF them, as well
as 10 many others of the young lady students
were not pr esent, but understand that all the
students did themselves aud their efficient tu-
tors full and honorable justice. The efforts
Of Mr.. Joseph CoPps as MaIimian, in the
drama of Sebastian, the Roman Martyr" and
in an original grafton, as well as those of our
talented young friend Muster John w N urray
of Hollidaysburg, son OF the brave and lament
ed Col W m. Murray, are spoken of as having
done eminent credit to both those gentlemen
We are particularly glad to say this of Johnny,
who occupies prominent niche in our ezteom
and good wishes, and who is worthy of the
highest commeL datiOn, morally as well as in
telectually.
OF the exhibition Of the little boys of Mt.
GalIitzn Seminary, who had their first com
meneement exercises on Thursday, We scarce
~ know what TO say. We were much and
so agreea bly, surprised by their singing, their
buTsous tonS in the play of Cherry Bounce,
their declamations, and their proficiency in all
particulars, that can only say God bless
them and keep them ever in the rsightway
of knowledge and strict morality, and God
bless the good Sisters VINO for the last two
years have labored so assiduouSly and efficient
ly for tho spiritual and temporal welfare OF
their youthful pupils. The little boys did no
bly,, every one of them, and none more so than
little Johnny Maloney, of Pittsburgh, whom
his young companions We feel sure, will for
give rs for nsming while of themselves we
speak less specifically. We hope to see them
all back at Mt. Galli'zin the coming session.
Soon after tho close OF this exhibition mag
nifcent dinner was served up at the old school
building, and this was followed by very sue
cessiul and ENJOYABLE picnic in Lloyd's grove,
near the station. We cid not learn the amount
reaiZ ed ircm the dinner and picnic, but pre-
sumo it was quite handsome. In the evening

duclion of Cambria county's great artist,
