AT THE uRsULINE ACADEMY.
Yesterday afternoon promptly at 3
o'clock began the commencement exercise,
at this most excellent institution. We an
pend the programme, the list of prizes, re-
wards, medals, etc., the salutatory and the
valedictory. The four-act historical drama
of Marie Antoiaette was admirably Der.
formed, with Miss Annie Rodgers as Marie
Theresa and Miss Katie Stubs as Marie
Antoinette. Both these young ladies knew
most accurately their respective parts,
both as to expression, infection and gen.
eral impersonation of character, never hes.
itating for word and being at fullest
ease upon the amateur boards.
The operetta Of little Red Riding Hood
was admirably rendered, and took well
with the entire audience, eliclting the in.
tensest interest. After these pieces came
the distribution of medals and prizes. As
As the good sister called out the names as
below published, the young ladies severaly
came from the stage and received at the
hands Of the holy fathers present for the
purpose, aided by one Of the HERALD pro-
prietors, the rich golden and silver EVIL
dences of the merits they had scored in the
past ten months OF academic life, The
salutatory of Miss Annie Rodgers was brief
10 the point, and in most excellent taste
throughout, and disclosed true concep-
ton of the requirement Of the occasion. It
was spoken in clear, distinct voice
and in ppncs OrupiNno iptppatiNpo frn,,

The valedictory of Miss Work was equally
in good taste, and feelingly told the
emotions that well up in the hearts OF those
who are leaving their Alma Mater as she
was now about to do with the diploma,
which was yesterday presented to her.
Thus, year by year these white-bonneted
sisters of the pure, the beautiful and coed
send forth from their walls equipped for
life's duty under their holy teachings, lot
of young ladies to reflect credit on their no.
Bile institution and upon their lovely sex.
Thus, year by year from the art gallery of
love in its purple bloom 20 forth the living,
breathing embodiments of education in Its
triple form OF mental, physical and moral
elevation to contribute to the genuine ad-
vancement of correct career. The acad-
envy has prospered finely the past season,
and promises well for the future. Follow
