two heavy iron-clad coryettes.

A Very Sad Accident.

The very sad af1iction which has come upon
the family of our highly esteemed fellow
citizen, R. Herrick, Esq, in the drowning of
his young son Edward, is one in which the
whole community shares. On the evening of
the sth, Mr.. Herrick and family paid friendly
visit to the officers of the steamship Bolivar,
and in leaving the vessel about o'clock, young
Herrick, by some mishap, missed his footing
and fell into the river. Without an exclama-
ton of any kind, he sank from the gaze of his
distressed parents and sisters who were on the
wharf, terror stricken at the suddenness of the
accident which deprived q loving father and
mother of an only and his sisters of an
affectionate brother. After every effort posi-
BILE under the circumstances to rescue him had
been made, his sorrow-stricken family returned
to their now sad home which had lost its
brightest jewel.
Young Herrick had just graduated from the
Jesuits' college, in this city, where he had
greatly distinguished himself, and had won
the esteem and love of his professors and fell
low students. Although but sixteen years of
age he had the judgment of mature manhood,
united with the innocence of child. He had
but few short months ago entered upon his
business career in connection with the press of
"AiSA nAis AASiAiSh 40 pakG pIopTlcIOE, auu gave
promise of being eminently competent, at no
distant day, to fulfill the fond wishes and
hopes of his family in assuming the burdens
which his father has SO long and SO well borne.
We extend to the bereaved family our heart
felt sympathy as we know they have that of
all who ever enjoyed the pleasure of an &C.
quaintance with and observed the noble quail
ties of the deceased. In their present great
of4j icti how f1,ao oJo
to sustain them and the consciousness of know
ing that their cherished lost ono is enjoying
the eternal rewards of young and innocent
life

Communicated
St. Theresa's School.

This splendid edifce, situated on Erato
street, between Camp and Magazine streets,
was erected about four years ago, under the
auspices of Rev. Father Kenny, the jealous
pastor of st. Theresas parish.
A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of visit
ing the school. On our entrance in tho first
classroom, our visit was fully repaid by the
scene which met view. A number of
pleasing youths, between the ages of twelve
and fifteen, were busly occupied in solving
practical problems in arithmetic. Brother
julius, their teacher, invited us to examine
them, which invitation being gladly accepted,
we were astonished to perceive how readily
and correctly the solutions were given. The
puzzling tests would have daunted scholars
less proficient or less mindful of the rigid and
perfect mental discipline provided for them by
their instructors. Their knowledge of the
other branches which occupy q place in the
curriculum of studies was equally creditable
to them.
At the conclusion of the lesson in arithmetic
we were delightfully."- entertained by the nu-
merous songs with which we were favored |;
among others, Moore's beautiful melody, The
Meeting of the Waters" and "Who will care
for Mother nowf" Great praise is due to the
untiring labors of the Rev. Father Massardier,
professor of the singing class, for the prof.
cheney of the boys.
st. Theresa's school is conducted by the
Christian Brothers, who everywhere labor so
successfully in the glorious cause of education.
1t is divided into four classes, three of which
are taught by the Brothers the remaining
class being under the control of lady, gra-
duate of the Convent of the Sacred Heart.
Everywhere is it conceded that this school
is unsurpassed by any in the city, nor could it
be otherwise, for the interest which the Rev.
Clergy and Brothers take in it's welfare is no.
where excelled. VISITOR.
