The manner in which the OhcmiHtry class take their seats is pecul iar to say the least, One of the class told us that it suited him exceedingly well. Died. As wo go to press, wo regret to learn of the death of Leandcr 11. Eckhart, formerly a student of tho University; as our time is limited we will notice it in our next. Success. Wo are pleased to say that II. II. Wilson, who has been appointed as agent for tho Student in this city, has been very successful thus far, and we tru. ly hope his success will continue. Hua. Probably that Freshman will soon bo married. We should judge so from tho reason of his hugging that friend whom he so urgently requested to sleep with him a few evenings ago. Stuanuk. One of tho alumni is very active, but it is curious that he should prefer jumping out of tho second story window of a boarding house instead of going down stairs as Ills friends do. Qukiiy. Ain't it a little transparent where some of tho students go during recitation hours, especially those two young gents and ladies? If It is not re pealed wo will say no more about it. UriiiiU Class. Prof. Bailey has organ, izod a Bible class at tho Baptist Sunday School for tho benefit of tho University students. Tho class meets at twelve o'clock, and all are cordially invited to attend. Bold. That Junior did not seem to care for tho thoughts of the world when he was running around tho University witli a braid of some girls hair pinned to Ills coat; we would like to know what kind of a hair-pin ho calls himself. Fmmuukd. Wo cannot see why that young gent, who was walking down to. wards tho southern pari of our city a couplo of Sundays ago in tho direction of Miss house, should get so worked up if ho were only going around to tho ofilce. 33i,ouimoN. Tho class in elocution bo. foro tho Chancellor had the sentence, " I am for tho declaration," to practico on, and ono of tho students became so oner getic In rehearsing it, that long before tho break of day ho commenced reciting It. His landlord thought burglars were in tho house and rushed up stairs, en dishabille, to conquer thorn. On opeuing tho 8oph's door ho was mot with, " I am for-'tho dec laration," and so on ad infinitum. Ho returned to his .disturbed slumber, and is confident that ho has a very energetic stu dent under his roof. Soenk inTiuoonomkthy CiiASH. Prof, refers to n hard problem and asks ft stu dent, " Did you succeed in working tho problem' ?" Studknt. Awh 1 no. 1 was somewhat embarrassed for want of tune. Sleepy. One of tho students at tho dormitory woke up tho other morning to find an empty prach can his bedfellow, and some saucers arranged on his table, which appeared to have boon used by some ono else. Ho is anxious to find out who "stood treat." Curious. Can anyone tell us what prompted that Soph to go down town and purchase clothing that was not for his sex and then try to make the students at tho dormitory believe that it was part of a gentleman's outfit. From such actions wo judge that a marriage will soon occur. A Good Excuanok. Wo are pleased to note the fact that we havo on our ex change list, the daily Lincoln Blade. It is one of tho livest dailies in the state, and wo bellcvo that under tho charge of Major Caffrey the Blade will never be found wanting In sharpness. It can be found every morning at tho dormitory. Lauok. Tho other day a brave and bold company of three, wont up on tho roof of tho University after an owl. They were well armed, ono having a navy," another a shotgun, and tho third a huge club. Thoy were successful in bringing tho owl down, and it was a fine, largo one, measuring four foot between tho tips of tho wings. Tiuokbtku. Ono of tho Students at tho dormitory has justly earned tho title of sleight-of-hand .performer. A few nights ago he managed to go to bed, to lock the door and wake up in tho morning to find his washbow' and pitcher gone, and tho door still locked, but with tho key on the outside. But what bothers him tho most is to understand how ho locked tho door, and then jumped through tho key hole with tho key still in tho lock. We " guvo it up." Mistake, A young lady made a slight mistake tho other morning in the Chan cellor's office. Tho Chancellor had not yet arrived, and a sprightly young fresh man occupied tho President's chair. A young lady who desired to enter the Uni verslty took him to bo ono of of tho fac ulty, and after tho Fresh had found out where the young lady resided, and what is of more importance her name, ho in formed her that tho Chancellor would soon bo in.

Thoy wore both formerly students of our University-aud wo congratulate Add on his good fortune in securing for a wife, tho young lady who was tho admiration of every gentleman in attendance at tho University. May thoy live long and over bo prosperous. SouiAiti.KS. Tho Palladia!) society hold a social on Friday evening, Octobor Oth and it was, beyond all doubt, a decided success. Thoir hall, which has always received tho highest praiso from every one who has over visited it, presented it's usual fine appearance; and, though largo as It U, it was crowded with merry throngs of students, who were bent on en- joying thcmoolcs. Tho Palladia!) Hall furnished room for a number ol promen atlers, but the spacious hall out-side of tho society room was continually crowd ed with gallants and their ladies. As tho members of tho Adolphian So ciety were specially invited to bo present, thoy entered the hall after a short session of their own society, and mingled in tho mirth and merriment. During tho even ing wo wore favored with some choice music by the Misses Montgomery and Ilohmaun. All that stiffness of formali ty, which wo sometimes see in social gatherings, was thrown off, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. Refreshments were served, consisting of tempting peaches, luscious grapes and tho overodl ble confectionery. At the hour of 10 o'clock the bell pealed forth, warning us that it was time to disband; we were in tho midst of our gaiety, and many a gal lant lad and sweet lassie went home, wish ing that the hateful old bell had been si lent for a time longer. The plan of holding a social at the com mencement of a term, as adopted by the Palladians is an excellent idea, as it brings tho now students together and affords all an opportunity to become acquainted with eacli other. The social was highly commended by the Chancellor and the professors who were in attendance and wo hope that ere long tho Palladians will give another of thoir charaotetistio socials. On the 23d of the present month tho Adolphian society held a social. Tho Palladians by a special meeting of their own society, held no meeting that even ing, but turned out en vume to tho most successful of all the Adolphian socials and enjoyed a merry time. Wo wero pleased to see that so many wero in at tendance, but apologize to those ladies who wished to see tho Studknt oillco, for its appearance. Wo do occasionally have it swept out and ere long will bo able to invito tho fair sex up into our sanctum' The daily papers of tho city comment quite highly on the social and wo are iu dined to give the lady members of the society the credit of causing it to be so successful. But wo learn at this time that our Editor-in-chief lias made use of the two above locals for his editorials and sympathizing with our readers. for having to road tho sumo matter twice we forbear to say more, than tills we hope that both socials will be repeated. New Cunt. On the 20th of this month the students assembled In tho clianel iml organized a now association, which is Known astlie" Students Gymnastic Cluh " They elected officer? with tho following result: Amos U. Unntt, President; II. II. WiUon, Vice President; J. F. McKesson. Secretary; W. II. McBroom, Treasurer. Ono of tho motions which unanimously prevailed in the mooting, was: That a vote of thanks bo tendered to the German Tur ner's Society of Lincoln for tho kindness which they havo shown us.in allowing us to place their horizontal bar. etc.. in our gymnasium. Tho officers also appointed tuo lollowing named committee to take ohnrgo of tho gymnasium: A. W. Field W. II. Ncedham, G. E. Howard and G.m! Hawley. Wo aro pleased to sco iho gym nasium opened up and hope that all tho students will make good use of It. If it Is properly conducted, it will bo afeaturo of tho University of which wo will bo proud ; if it is neglected, tho apparatus had hotter bo returned, and tho doors locked. In connection witli the gymnas ium we would say that Prof. Bailoy is or ganizing a class for practico in tho uso of Indian clubs, and as his terms aro moder ate wo hope he 111113 have a largo class. Must Sikak. A few evenings ago, ono of the Palladians took particular interest in a debate and consulted numerous au thorities on the question, but not notify, ing tho President of Mie society, tho do bate was declared closed before ho could speak. However, ho was full of talk, and after seeing his young lady homo ho got two or three of tho boys together and de livered his speech. Wo have heard that it was a fine address, but an awful poor audenco. Law. Wo are pleased to note tho fact, that Messrs, W. II. Snell and John McLean have been admitted to practico law. Thoy were admitted in the Third Judicial Dls-' trict, and start for Georgetown, Col., on the 2nd of next month, where thoy will locate. Mr. Snell is a member of the graduat ing class of '73 and Mr. McLean was for merly a student of tho University. They were both members of tho Palladlau so clot', and in tlto departure of theso gen tlcmon, the society loses two of its best speakers; and each and every ono of ub unite in hoping that the law-firm of " McLean & Snell" may ever be prosper ous. They are both pleasant nnd.tgreeablo gentleman, and wo commend them to tho citizens of Georgetown as energetic, wide awiiko young men, who will promptly at tend to any and all business which will be intrusted to their care.
