Prof. Frey has at last secured suitable

College. He has the entire third story of
Negus's block in Market Square formerly
Negus's Halll and has it fitted up in suit
manner for the school. For some five
years he has struggled along, sometimes
in one place and sometimes in another,
sometimes prospecting aud sometimes bare
ly livilg-but his college has now assum
ed such proportions and is so we'll estab-
lished that larger building was necessary
in order to keep pace with its progress
We are glad to chronicle this evidence OF
his success and hope he may now be able
to add to his list of patrons.
Last evcningFthe first lecture before The
students lin the new building) was deliver
ed by Oliver Oleson, ESQ. About ISL
persons were present-nearly all student;
who listened with marked attention to
we'll delivered and instructive treatise o,
Commercial Law Interesting and in
structive to all, whether students or not,
| The next lecture of the course will b.
