U. Of M. Attendance

The "prospects for the Uuiversity this year are for a tremenaous inorease in attendance. There is now uo doubt that the attendance will be larger than ever before but the piospects are that the increase will be a phenomenal one. Of course it is too early to get figures at the University yet. Many have not yet settled-with the treasnrer and more are arriving every day, bnt the bouses abont the oity seem to be filling np wittj roomers to a mnch greater degree than last year. Another straw to indioate the increased attendance is the lagely increased business at the post office. There in one day 700 new addresses were registered, beating al) previons records. The stamp sales at the post office for the first sis days of October were 1876. Daring the first sis days of last year the receipts at the stamp window were $596.40, showing an increase of $279.60 or 46 per cent. Of course all this cannot be charged to the increased number of students, for the times are better and there is a steady increase this year in starnps sales over last yeai, but a good proportion of it can be justly so charged. They state at the post office that the number of lady students pnrchasiug stamps seems very much larger than last year, and that a peculiar feature of the stamp sales is the large nnrnber of postal cards sold, the proportion of sales to individuáis not for advertising purposes being much larger thau iu previous years. Tliere is a report iu cirulation that this year's freshman law class will number 400.
