The University built here during the last
season under TIE able managssmest oe Mr..
Bagiey, il familiar TO your rcaders, and will
become more 20 in . few days from the oiicial
reports now before the Legislature, requires
no remark from my pen. further than 10 state,
that the citizens of this place ftel greatfullv
obligated to our mutual and esteemed friend,
Hon. A. A. Denny, to whose untiring exer.
tons We are 30 much indebted for this rich
boon, whose temporary absence from this
place il matter Of profound regret.
COeyd with the University, is our Brass
Band, comprising some twelve of our best
mechanics. Most Of whom were actively en-
ployed in constructing the building, and
though doomed to the "sweet captivity !" of
long. tircsome, summer day labor, yet found
Z" elegant leisure" in the short summer nights
often at the expense of tired natures sweet
restorer "-balmy sleep-to practice "concerts
of sweet sound" And under the faithful lead
ership of Doctor Egges now "disco,uscs
sweet music, such a. pleased the ear of God,"
} Our respected delegation returned lost
week from the capital, and were received by
tons Of confidence and esteem. And were
sercnaded by the Brass Band with much ado
On the arrival Of the Enterprisc on Monday
from Olympia, bringing committee of the
Legislature to examine and report on III"
state of the University, with several ladies
and gentlemen. Much eclat was manifested
to stake the strangers in, the weather being
somewhat blustery and cold. Yet, though
" Rome in Tiber melts," our distinguished
guests were received by the Brass Band in
manner worthy tho occasion, and convinced
that "stranger is holy name " in Seattle.
Yesterday being the day set apart to dcdi-
cate the University, and being sunny, beau
tiful day, large concoursc Of ladies' and gen.
tlemen assembled in the broad hall Of tho
University. The visites had a beautiful
view of the Sound and surrounding country,
and all appeared to appreciate and improve
the golden moments thus allotted. when Rev.
Mr. Bagley, the President of the board of
G Commissioners, accompanied by the Legisla-
tive COMMITTEES and other prominent gentle
men took their seats on the stage. and COM
menced tho exercises with excellent music
from the "band."
I Mr.. Mercer, late of Illinois, was soon intro
duced to the assembled wisdom" This
young gentleman fairly chung his hearers"
for one hour, and we are bound TO attest that,
for position, gesture, delivery and elegant die
ton, he surpassed any efforts we have ever
heard from any orator 30 young, and it the
"mantle Of Eliza" has not fallen on him, we
do predict that the mouth of Edward Ever
etto is sue to fall on him. Mr.. Mercer was
warmly applaudsd in his illusions to our couu-
try's greatness. We congratulate him on his
happy debut. Mr.. Mercer Is a brother Of our
highly estssnfd Probate Judge Of this coun-
ty, whose iptegity and moral worth so
justly appreciated by his neighbors. .
