Closing EXERCISES OF ST. JOsEPa's
AcADENY.-The closing exercises OF ST.
Joseph's Academy took place last eyel'
ing. The hall was hardly large enough
10 accommodate all who sought adj
mittance, and great many persons al
most martyred themselves in obtaining
prominent positions in order that
thew might display cOmmendable
interest In the cause Of education
The spectacle OF the young ladies
upon the stage was quite pretty, the
Kaleidoscope blending Of colors lar sur
passing in genuine beauty many spectac'
ular exhibitions. The picture was
charming one, but We are animated BY
no desire to attempt a description Of It,
The lassitude, or what the impOlite or
truthful would call laziness, superinduced
by superintendent amount Of caloric,
has altogether too strong a hold upon the
writer TO be overcome by anything but
an extraordinary amount OF exeFtlon'
THE EXERCISES
commenced with a piano duet "Faust
March, by Misses Amelia Metcalf and l..
Shields, followed by Miss Jennie upde'
gratis salutatory. Miss Updegraf's Ell
Tort was very successful for one so young,
and won a round Of cordial applause.
The next performance was q pretty
piano duet, de TrOt du Cavalier" by
Misses K. Kennedy and Emma Aul, al
ter which Miss L, Ebbert executed in
good style piano solo, "lnvitation Ia
Danse."
Miss Mary Carrick then sang a beauti-
full solo, "Sing, Smile, Slumber," which
was pronounced very good by those who
heard it.
This was followed by piano trio,
Ezra Stella MattinO," very we'll executed
by Misses l., Clark, A. Duffy and A. Fitz'
simmons.
0The shrines of the Beautiful" an es.
say by Miss Caroline Heiser, had but one
serious fault, and that was its great length.
Miss Lizzie Bailey Of Charleston, W.
Va, next sang charming solo, winning
thereby storm Of applause,
The distribution OF premiums follow
ed, to the great delight Of the young Peo-
pie. The older people also enjoyed il
heartily, too, and It was very pleasant
change from the regular routine OF the
programme,

mony and effort.
