COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.

The commencement exercises of St.
Rose academy and the High school
were held yesterday. Those of the for
mcr were quietly conducted in st. Rose
hall in the afternoon in the presence
OF a large number of friends of the
graduates The pupils who completed
the course displayed knowledge which
refiects great credit on the efficient
academy.
In the evening at the opera house the
High school graduates held forth. The
stage was beautifully decorated and
the class was one of the handsOmest
and most intelligent of those that have
represented the school for many years
past. The lengthy programme was car
ried out as published. The audience
was unusually large and the numbers
so uniformly creditable that it would
he useless TO particularize. The papers,
THE Park Fence Must Go" by Mary
Surdoval, and The Park Fence Must
Not Co" by Ann Harte, were very in
teresting. Both arguments were able
but the former had the advantage OF
an audience prejudiced in her favor.

pcrtation of hides to guard against the
spread OF onthrox and other diseases. but
the Treasury Department says that a con-
