APROPOS of the Socialist excitement in Germany, and the newly formed organizations in the West, "La Commune" has been prospecting for a raid on the arms of the Rifle Corps. Through the vigilance of General Lister the attempt was detected in season to prevent the raid, and the arms have been removed for the summer to a place of safety. The Corps possesses two hundred stand of arms, breech-loading Peabody rifles, which are valued at five thousand dollars...

The Class of '81 has just furnished us with a new proof of this freshness - we use the word in no invidious, but in a complimentary sense - by their organization of a "Glass Ball Club."
