Valedictory, by Miss Alline Cash.
1t has not been our good fortune to attend
so pleasing commencement" as the above
for years. 1t would be difficult to criticise; but,
if allowed to do 80, Ne would pronounce the
rendering of the "Last Rose Of Summer, y
and of the "zampa Overture equal to that
heard In our hrst-class concerts. The easy
grace with which both time and taste in music
were preserved and expressed was charming.
A fine exhibition of fancy work, drawings and
paintings, ornamented the walls. The water
colors were taken 1--WE presume) from Audi
bon's ornithology, and reflected credit on the
young copyists. The pastel paintings were
very choice, and admirably executed. Carlo
Dolce's 'sMater Doloroso,n Fra angelico's ''St.
Cecilia Magdaline," and Two fancy pieces, ,rivet
ed the attention and excited the admiration OF
all connoisseurs in the sublime art. Nor were
music and painting the only requirements OF
| the students. Near the close of lne exc rcises,
| the young ladies were awarded honors III the
| culinary Experimentation best made yeast ana
| bread, dressed meats, jellies and cooked vege-
| tables.
In Department OF Blanchissage: For best
washed and ironed merino, starched and iron.
ed linen and musins.
Alter which, followed "Crowns of Excel
lence." &c. These crowns were displayed with
| fine effect In the vocal quartette, closing the
| exercises.
A very little girl came forward as valedicto.
rian, and with bouquet in hand, gracefully
saluted Bishop Lynch. the corps of teachers
and the audience. Her intonations were as
pleasing as her manners, but we were too dis.
tant to catch the words of her pretty rhyme
trical valedictory, to which the venerable
bishop responded.
The exercises of the Institution will be re
sumed on the first Of September.
