Such an organization would be both instructive and amusing to our young people, besides bringing out the latent logic and eloquence which abounds, we are sure, in the omniums of the young men of this town. As the poet sublimely puts it: Full many a “Jim” is born to blush unseen And eloquence waste upon the desertah; Because we have no “Demosthenean” In which he’d gladly rip and tear. We understand such a thing was in existence here at one time, and why can’t we have it again.

Sev¬ eral of our young men have been dis¬ cussing the matter, and if anything is to be done, it is time they were making a move of some kind. Christmas is far off (less than one mouth.) Suppose those who feel interested in the matter are willing to aid the workers, meet urd!y Mght at in S 8 or ,0 8 a o 0 ’clX b «nd t ^ cre they could discuss the plans, adopt m . der U)e pla y.
