The habit of "me too" in stealing locals from the Courier is too well known to excite comment. But it is rather sad to see the "me too" exchange credit a joke which emanated from the fertile brain of the Courier editorial man to another paper.
EXTENSIVE ART GALLERY.
Next to the Bible, no book is more useful than Webster's Dictionary. The Unabridged is an extensive art-gallery, containing over three thousand engravings, representing almost every animal, insect, reptile, implement, plants, etc., which we know anything about. It is a vast library, giving information on almost every mentionable subject. It indeed has been well remarked that it is the most remarkable compendium of human knowledge in our language. The value of its ILLUSTRATED DEFINITIONS, the pictures in Webster under 12 words, Beef, Boiler, Castle, Column, Eye, Horse, Mouldings, Phrenology, Ravelyn, Ships, (page 1164 and 1219) Steam Engine,
Timbers, define 343 words and terms far better than can be defined in words.
One of those informal social gatherings which are usually so productive of pleasure, took place at the residence of Prof. Miller, on the evening of the 15th. The I. C. Sorosis, intending to hold an important and protracted evening session, suggested to their friends of the Beta Theta Pi that a call from the members of that fraternity would add much to the enjoyment of the occasion. In accordance with this invitation, at about nine o'clock in the evening, the Betas found themselves on the professor's premises, and made known their presence by serenading the young ladies there assembled. An exceedingly hearty welcome awaited them, and after being escorted into the house in that cordial manner characteristic of I. C. hospitality, they and their entertainers proceeded to enjoy themselves in the countless ways customary on such occasions. A new and unexpected element of pleasure was the discovery that the I.C.s had just bound with their mystic chain another charming young lady; that their arrow glittered on the breast of Miss Pearl Young. Refreshments were soon served, and the zest with which these were partaken by the guests bore practical and convincing testimony to their excellence. After spending the remainder of the evening in music and social converse, the gathering broke up, all feeling that they had added one more to the pleasant recollections of college life. * *.
