PREMIUMs-INTEREsTING EXERCISES, &c.
The commencement exercises Of St. Ma
ry's Bcnedictinc Institute, on Fourth street
between Clay and Leigh, took place yester-
day morning in the hall OF the institution,
and were witnessed by an interested and
appreciative audience. The appearance OF
the children in their white dresses rs they
marched upon the stage, which was bcauti-
fully decorated, was really exquisite. They
had been so we'll trained by the good nuns
that their graceful movements were the sub
ject OF general admiration. The programme
OF exercises embraced German and English
dramas and vocal and instrumental music.
The plays by the little people were we'll
rendered, and reflected great credit upon
their pains-taking teachers. The instru-
mental music, which was under the charge
of Mrs. Emma Bailey, was really enjoyable,
being played with precision and expression
rarely attained by children. The pro.
