MAIL lRREGULARITIEs.-TH GAZETTE
The Alexandria GAZETTE. from some cause,
is very irregular in reaching this place.
Several weeks ago its tri-wcekly Tues
day issue did not arrive here until
it was one week old, and there is
scarcely a week that one Of its issues
is not delayed. We would suggest
to the GAZETTE that it forward tspapers for
this place by way of Round Hill. Blythe
way, the GAZETTE can boast of having upon
its subscription list one name for a longer
period than has fallen to the lot of many
papers. Mr.. James Cloud, of this place, has
been reading the GAZTTEE ever since he was
II years old, and has been subscriber ever
since he was 20 Heis now in his Goth year
goes to the postotlice regularly for his paper,
and enjoys reading it to-day as much as he
did 70 years ago.-Grke County Courier.
I'VE have frequent complaints of irregu-
larity in the receipt of the GAZETTE, which
can only be attributed to carelessness on
the part of the postoffice officials, as the pa
per is regularly mailed.

HAMLINE UNIVERSITY.

Hamlne university, located on Smelling
avenue, is perhaps the oldest denomina-
tional institution in the state. The history
OF Hamline dates back as far to April 8.
1854. The preparatory department. was
opened Nov. Is, 1854. and a freshman class
organized in the fall of 1857. Several
classes graduated from the institution. and
the whole number enrolled up to the time
Of suspension in the spring of 1869, was
about 1000. The university was at that
time located at Red Wing, and the institu-
ton received its name from an endowment
made by Bishop Hamline. But the insti-
tuition did not have adequate financial SUE
port, and in the spring of 1869 the embar-
rassment became so great as to necessitate
suspension. 1t was the intention at that
time to reopen in two years, but removal
to the present location was determined
upon. The main building was erected,
but not completed for number of years
owing to the scarcity of funds.
But as time wore ON there was a great
change, and the opening two years ago
was followed by good attendance and a
measure OF prosperity beyond expecta-
ton.
Some months ago the erection of La
dies Hall was determined upon, and re.
suited in the building of four-story brick
structure, costing about $4,000. The
building is 39x9O feet, with projections
and extensions on the west end, giving it a
width of sixty eight feet in the widest
place. The style is about the same as the
main building, and built of brick with blue
limestone trimmings.
The first floor, a basement, is the do
nestle department, in effect a boarding
house for the young ladies who attend the
school. On the floor above there are two
music rooms, large double parlors, and
situated IN the corner room, two rooms
are given to the matron and five for the
students. The upper floors are similar to
the lower one, and contain twenty-six
pleasant and commodious rooms for the
ladies. The building is large enough to
accommodate seventy students.
The funds for the completion of the
building have been raised by the different
Methodist churches throughout the state,
and they are all giving to the institution
cordial support for the pride and appre-
citation they have in the work. Great cred
it is due DR.. John, under whose manage
ment and care this great institution has
thrived, and it is believed that before
many years roll by that Hamline univer-
sity will be enlarged and more buildings
erected.
