If the Epoch continues as it has begun, the editors may feel confident of having supplied a need that was felt in the journalistic world.

The Langdell Law Club trial yesterday was a pronounced success. The case on the calendar before Wigmore J. and Beal, J., was the Crown vs. Aram for the murder of Daniel Clark. For the Crown, Mr. Winkler, for the defendant, Julian W. Mack in his own behalf. The attendance at the trial was large and the interest unflagging. A jury of twelve was sworn in without a challenge, although their ignorance was appalling, but two having read Hood's poem, and nobody, Bulwer's novel of "Eugene Aram." The afternoon, from three to five was consumed in the presentation of the evidence of the case. The court reassembled at 6.30 and listened to the arguments of both counsels. At 7.25 Justice Beal delivered his charge, which was lucid and admirable, and in five minutes the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty."
