IN THE CONVENT -- On Saturday last, at St. Catharine’s Convent at Benicia, Miss Ellen MURPHY, formerly of this city, received the white veil from the hands of Rev. Father VILORRASA, taking upon himself [herself?] at the time, the name of Sister Mary Emily. The ceremony is said to have been very imposing and largely attended.
