) Local Nkws. Vol. vi Hi ' 'IMio Prof, asked a student how lie would trunslate "yes" in Greek. Another young niuu, very anxious to show his pro ficiency in that lunguagc, boldly answered "Yaw." Thomson & Wobslur have added to their business a llrst-elnss news depot, at which may he found at all time.-, the latest newspa'pers and leading periodicals. Call and see them. Full report of all the elections for next term, that have taken place in the University may he found in our local col umns. Nearly every student lias an olllee, and consequently is happy. The Geology class recently went out to Milford, on a tour of investigation, and spent a day or two among the the rocks' of that section. They returned much pleased with their trip. Now that the election is settled, the workmen will continue painting the Uni versity, work wili lie renewed on the gov. eminent building down town, and bus. ncss will improve generally. The I'rof. told Us that a certain hook would come at thirty-live cents in Hoston, but he didn't know how it would come out here. Acute .Junior editied him by saying that it would come by mail. Students who do not intend to re turn to next term, or who may for any rea son change their post office address, will please confer a favor upon our mailing clerk by leaving word at this ofliec. Let's see wasn't there an election held around here somewhere, not very long ago? And, just as we told you, that when so many fellows were running for ofliec, not more than half of them would be elected. It is said that the actor who sang "My Grandfather's Clock," atcthe Opera House, learned the tune by hearing it hummed around a stable. Wo suggest that some of those young men who give daily exhibition of their vocal powers in chapel, go and loaf around a stable awhile. While the Cadets wore out practising at a Hcventy-llvo yard range the other day one of them accidentally shot a dog leis. urcly reclining some llfly feet to the right of the target. Ol course the wind cuised the digression. The workmen are now busily en. gaged in laying gas pipe to the Univers ity. We may look for the building to be brilliantly lighted next term. This will be an improvement on the present use of kerosene lamps. One of the: cadets went out to a shool iim match recently, and failed to score. He struck a cow that was some distance from the target, and when ho returned had the audacity to claim that he hail made a hull sigh. KH1N (50 UNION!

"Oh! how exquisitely lovely! What an angelic nose! His eyes don't men., lion them! And those smiles so deli cious!" That young lady should n. t per mit those secrets, hidden deep in the inmost recesses of her heart, to be di vulged in so loud a tone. At the close of (his term the students have over-worked themselves. Three of them, M r, F h, and L e made an all-nights job of it. Hope the were successful, because that little (?) hat and cane in hand was taking a perspective all the while. Jt becomes our painful duty to an nounce that since our last issue one ot the students has gone. Yes. gone out of town, and never said a word about it not even to his room-mates. Alas, poor fellows, they know him too well. Fare well,, liuiiny, farewell. IJy refcienee to our personal columns, the reader ma infer that one or two ol the students have lately ljccn sick with the S
