seph's Academy.
The membranes of the pleasures en-
loved in the music hall of St. Joseph's
Academy on the occasion of Very Rev.
Father Sullivan's silver jubilee, were viv.
idly brought to our minds last evening,
when, in the same hall, surrounded by the
pupils of the Academy, we were the privi-
legged witnesses of their May musicale.
The poet says, at is a delightful task to
rear the tender mind" and judging from
the care the sisters OF ST. Joseph take they
make il truly delightful task. The school
numbers over two hundred children, only
q few Of whom participated in the exercises
on this occasion; many entered too late in
the session and others were frequently
absent, thereby FORGETTING their right aud
privilege of taking part in this entertain
ment. In an interview with the directors
we understood that the Sisters regret very
much that they have had 10 omit many
talented pupils, whose ability would add
much to the pleasure OF the audience, as
well as reflected great credit on the pupils
themselves. Owing to the large number
in attendance the teachers have decided to
give two entertainments this year, viz:
this May musical and closing exercises in
June. To do justice to these classes the
programme would be too lengthy for one
evening. 60 st. Joseph's, following the
leading institutions Of the country, have
inaugurated their commencement in May.
