CAMBRIDGE.
What was E. B. looking for the other Sunday ? Was it calves for the slaughterhouse or for the Hymeneal altar? It seems to have been the 'latter judging from the way in which he was so snugly ensconced with two lassies under the porch of a jeweller's shop. They seem to be quite ' willing.' But you can't have the two, so leavq the cornstalk his, or wigs on the green will be the order of the day. . .H.R.8.1. and J.M. say they entertain a decided antipathy to their names figuring so conspicuously in the 0. so often and accuse E.B.F. of being the writer, threatening all sorts of destruction to him if they are in any more. Taat individual however feels quite easy about the matter but most emphatically denies the accußation. If they have such a strong bias to the initials of their names appearing in the 0., how is it that when the journal makes itß appearance their hilarity is such that their voices can be heard from one end of the Btreet to the other ? In view of the writer being identified by any of them, Ij would strongly urge upon him the necessity of at once insuring his life before he comes in close proximity with the strong arms of the ladies. It wonld be a simple act of justice on the part of the writer to assure them that F. is not the author of these pars, and so save the
poor fellow from being killed with kindness by a trio of full-blown beau ties... The rinking season opened under the popular and efficient management of F., and as was to be expected, was well patronised by the public. Lots of fun is to be seen at the rink, more especially where new and untried skaters are concerned. One very pretty young lady, Miss E.G., on her first essay to skate exhibited a timidity and comic bashfulness bordering on the ludicrous and leaning on P.'s arm in a manner which warranted the suspicion that dancing is more in her line...P.D., the manager, is to be highly commended for the prompt and energetic manner in which he nipped larrikinisin in the bud.
