Pittsburg Chronicle: We yesterday received a pleasant
call from Mr. Gerwig, who has spent a year at the Uni-
crsity of Nebraska. He reports having much hard work
and not a few honors bestowed on his curly pate, having
oeen business manager of the Hesperian, elected critic of
the Philodicean society, and slyly intimates by downcast
eyes and blushing cheek that he has been not altogether
unsuccessful in mashing a pretty little U. of N. girl.
Omaha World: The holidays were holidays indeed to some
as has been demonstrated very clearly this year. Two young
students of the State University who were spending their va
cation at home, concluded that they would have a good
time, and accordingly came to Omaha. They are from Ash
land and Plattsmouth and have born nn exemplary reputation
heretofore; for that reason and on account of the fact that
that they are sons of a well known Dr. of Plattsmouth and a
banker of Ashland, we will not give particulars. However,
their appearance when they boarded the train for home indi
cated that they had succeeded very well in painting some
thing red. ' '

The State Historical Society was in session in this city
during the second week of the term. Its meetings were very
tntcresting and profitable, being mainly in the line of our

on the "Early Military History of Nebraska" were valuable
contributions to the society's records.
