May Festival.
--On Thursday evening last was celebrated by the young ladies of St. Joseph's Academy the Festival of the month of May. It was pronounced by the crowded audience present to be one of the most interesting spectacles of the kind ever witnessed in Richmond. The performance consisted of a series of songs and declamatory pieces, suitable to the occasion, followed by the coronation and installation of their elected queen. Many of their addresses were delivered in an unusually elegant and graceful style. The exhibition was highly creditable to the talents of the young ladies, the training of their protectresses, and the reputation of the academy.
