with a view of witnessing the pn-

rious duties that would devolve
upon them during the evening.
Arriving at the grounds, that
enclrcIes the editice designed as the
place whele the performance should
be had, | strOlled across aud enter
ed the Hall.
Presently the vast assembly was
favored with Il delightful melody
executed by the College Band.
The music having terminated, the
curtain was lifted and l was very
much gratified to See Mr.. Alcide
HargiS come forward and, after
making majestic bow, delivered
an eloquent French address. The
speech was ably rendered and dis
closed the ardor and perseverance
with which young Ha11iS had pur
sued his scholastic duties. At the
dawn of manhood and bobly emer
ging from an excellent school he
promises u brilliant career in the
vast school of humanity.
Without intermisSion there I'M
mediately followed very pleasing,
little performance by several of the
scholars, after which recess of %
minutes was announced.
Upon receiving this information
the audience betook themselves to
the grounds. amid the trees that
cluster around the Hall, to enjoy
Il little fresh air and quench their
parched lips-OccasiOned by the
heated temperature of the atmOS
phere that prevailed in the Hall
by freely INDUCING in the refresh
menls that he'd been prepared for
the occasion. While yet enjoying
the gentle ZeplyrS and admiring
the charming rays cast by fair
Lunar, the Band began to play
which indicated that the exercises
were to Resume their progress. 1t
was with reluctance that maEy left
the outdoor pastime to view the
performance in the Hall.
Everything being ready the
screen was hoisted and anoth
err short selection ensued after
which Is representation of Robinson
CrusOe, the cast-away, and the
island upon which he was "mon-
arch of all he surveyed" was pre-
scented. Mr.. Camille Braud char
acterized the unfortunate Crusoe.
Another intermission having
been passed the audience took
their respective seats and awaited
the continuance of the evenings
programme.
The curtain was again brought
up, for tue last time, to its full ca
pacity when Mr.. Camille Brand ad
vanced and, after rendering a
graceful bow, delivered an admi
rable valedictory. The distrlbu
ton of premiums was then taken
up, by the Rev. Father Fa0re, and
requiring considerable time, closed
the exercises.
The audience appeared to be well
pleased with the evenings enter
tainment, especially the parents
whose children attend the College,
for their faces were beaming with
pleasure contemplating the excel
lent manner in which their respec

exercises were executed, reflected

Creole Female Tonic removes suppress

womb, and inviyorates the female organs.
On last Saturday morning, at
about 8 O'clock, a great deal of ex
element vas created; men were
cen running towards Jackson
street and heard saying ''catch
him." Upon Investigating the
cause of the agitation, we were in
formed that a prisoner had just rs
capped from the prison, and taken
his course towards the Suburbs OF
the town.
Oscar ThibodauX, SOD of the
Sheriff, being among the first to
see the prisoner run, Immediately
mounted Il horse that was cOnve
nient, pursued the prisoner aud
halted his progress at the lower
part of Jackson street, until the
officers came and took charge Of
him.
Young ThibodauX had a harrow
escape of being killed, for the cul
prit, who. is a negro, seeing him
self too hotly chased, turned and
threw a brick at Thibodaux, which
would have struck him on the TEN
pie and probably killed him, had he
not fortunately evaded it's line.
