Nine Prisoners Escape from the Police Court
There was general delivery of prisoners at the
Police Court yesterday afternoon, and several
who bad been sentenced TO q term of confinement
suddenly and unexpectedly found themselves free,
and were not long in placing as much distance
as was possible between the court building and
themselves. The cells in which they were con-
fined located in the basement Of the building,
and at the time had in them nine prisoners sem
tenred to the jail or workhouse. The doors were
broken down, and out they rushed, making a
desperate effort for liberty. The alarm wasgiven
and the officers and baIlifs hustled lively out of
the court room after the convicts. After search
and skirmsh about the roofs of sheds and stables,
and through Mr.. Fleming's livery stable, they
succeeded in rearrestiRg all but four, and sent
them to the jail. The prisoners who eluded ar
rest so far are Thomas Leggings, charged with
burglary, and committed to await the sction Of
the grand jury; Richard Smith, grand larceny Of
a gold watch and medal, committed for action of
the grand jury; John Williams, petit larceny Of
money, sixty days in jail. The cell attached to
this court is very insecure and IL is wonder that
Il has not been demolished before.

Mount De Sales Academy.

To the Editor OF the EdtsOndI Republican,:
SIR: Knowing that your columns are always
open TO items interesting to your readers I give
q brief account Of the annual commencement Of
the Academy of the Visitation, at Mount De
Sales, near Baltimore, Maryland, which drew
together q large assemblage Of visitors on the
18th instant, not only from Maryland and other
States, but also from the District Of Columbia,
which has always been we'll represented in that
Institution. This institution is under the man
sgement Of the good Sisters Of the Order of the
Visitation, who kindly greeted US on our arrival
and escorted us through the building that we
might see all the provision made for the health,
comfort and education Of the young ladies under
their care. That this establishment should be
deemed by parents o most desirable one for
the education Of their children Is not surprising.
Everything about the buildings being so we'll
tilated, the wide cool halls, the commodIous
dormitory, the extensive play grounds aud the
walks through the large groves, which stretched
the selection Of the site and in the plan Of the
buildings everything that could be conducive to
the health Of the pupils had been fully consld;
with the cheerfulness Of the young ladies, who,
in merry groups throughout the establishment,
their bright faces and plump figures attested the
care that bad been taken Of their physical well
being, which had not been neglected whilst
the large hall, containing specimens Of the
needle work, embroidery, worsted work, &C., the
attainments Of the scholars was seen TO great sd-
vantsge, and the collection, which was large and
varied, reflected great credit on teachers and
pupils. A striking feature in this display was q
large quantity Of apparel, worked up by the
girls for the orphans, who in evidenclng their
own proficiency with the needle ct the same time
worked this noble charity. The commencement
exercises, consisting Of vocal and instrumental
pieces on harp and piano, were very interesting
and called for repeated bursts Of applause from
the assembled guests who crowded the exhibition
hall. 1t would be invidious to mention the
names Of the most proficient where so much ex-
eellence was displayed, and I will simply say
that the good Sisters who SO carefully train these
young ladies merit the gratitude Of the parents
who have patronized the institution, because
whilst giving them an education which fits them
for their social duties, they exercise tender re-
gard for health that is not usual in. such large
Institutions, and the academy being SO easy OF
access from Washington will doubtless be ex-
tensiyely patronized from this District. After
delightful day we thanked the Sisters who had 50
kindly entertained us, and returning to BaltI-
more were soon on our way back to Washington.
