destroyed by tiro. The building etc
was unoccupied except by a young;

Dr. Harrison gave another of!
his verv entertaining lectures at I

the court house Monday night. I tu
His subject was " Tennyson, the
Poet Laureate." After giving a 1 81
sketch of the life of this famous | p'
Knglish poet, he outlined "the i
Idyls of the King" and "in Me- 1 g*
morian," ais two choieest produc- j M
tions, and made comparisons of ! C'
| these with the masterpieces of J a
i other distinguished poets of the ?
nineteenth century. It was interesting
throughout and even i
more entertaining than his pre
vious lecture on Chaucer. an
Much to the regret of our peo- |1(
pie, the Doctor announced that
this would be his last lecture dur- ?-t
