The sociable given by the University
Union Oct. 3d, was a sociable in the
true sense of tho word. Nobody looked

greater part of the objectionable clement
and the residue consisted of ladles and
gentlemen. Abundant refreshments were

hour to adjourn came all departed reluc
tant to go so soon, but well satisfied with
themselves and the rest of tho human
race.
