last Arbor Day.
The Hebrews of this city held roligi

she was an old student.

with a shake assert their fondness for
anatomy.
A hase rumor lias been circulated that
one of the Sophs took a particular fanes
to Nancy in the Opera of Martha. In
short, that he fell in love.
How is that secret society, which the
students spoke of so highly last year, pro
gressing? Queer that our students cannot
support at least one secret society.
A NUMiiEii of students, regardless of ap
pearances, have "set their upper lips in
business" during the past summer. There
is something very suspicious about it.
Custahd pies are very nice, at least so
think seniors, but a printer's pi is not. de

are going to put on a great deal of style,
as they will have a special coach run for
their benefit, between the University and

those neat dictionaries In the library, was

to one dollar. Even this is much less
than is charged by most college papers of
the same size.
A few nights ago a now student in the
dormitory was heard in the wee small
hours singing: "Oh! write me a letter
from home." It was so plaintive that it

A i'kep in the English Composition
class, while gravely advising u comrade,

heads so nearyounggentlemen's neckties;
we saw a hair pin in a sophomore's vest
pocket. The owner can have the same

It 1b very suitable that sve should svam
the students, svho have come in this year,
of the existence of a " Black List" in this
city. As far as sve have been able to fer
ret it out, billiards is the only folly in
which the nice young men are allowed to

by the young ladles, but how they ascer
tain their news is a mystery to the svisest
of us poor mortals.
It is all svell enough to find curls,
braids, etc., near the close of a term, but

lady can have the same by identifying it
and paying damages. There issomethlng

out several miles into the country to try a
case before the squire. Arriving at their
destination, " Little Prof." commenced to
spout his lawyer-like speech, but Demos
tlicncs or any other man could not con
tain himself under the circumstances, for
looking out of the svindosv he espied his
legal brother In vain pursuit of the vi

livery stable. They say ho svon the suit
but svalked home.
