One question in particular—that in regard to the present jury system—was discussed by the law students which, from the way it was handled, and being handled by those who had had experience, was of unusual interest. The new quartette, consisting of Mesrs. Blair, Johnson, Leach and Muth, has been doing good work in the line of entertainment, and has added greatly to the many attractions of Orophilian. And the new pianocome and see it prettty sono.
