ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAXFORD GRAND.

A fairly good house assembled at the
Crawford Grand last night to hear the
Mcdonald lecture on Rome The lecture
was very entertaining and the dissolving
views worked very perfectly. This after
noon Mr.. Mcdonald gives his favorite lee
ture on Switzerland and the choicest and
most expensive views in his catalogue
will be shown in connection with this
land, the favored of nature Realistic
views of snow capped SUBMITS, glaciers,
lakes and rivers will be shown and one
seems to be present there SO closely will
this interesting lecture be followed by the
listener. The home of Tell and all the
wierd beauties of the cradle Of freedom,
the mountain streams which leap her
rocks and plow her valleys without asking
leave" will all be exhibited, and interest
ing bits of history will intersperse the
lecture. In the afternoon the explana-
lions and pictures will be arranged to a
certain extent to please the children, al
though all may find much of instruction
and entertainments The prices have been
put down for this performance,
and it is safe to say a great
many will avail themselves OF this
opportunity. the evening lecture will
contain many selections from history that
has made Switzerland famous. The fact
that the history of Switzerland is so close
" associated with the physical features of
the country enables Sir. Mcdonald with
his facilities to give the most concise, cor
rect and interesting account OF travels IN
that land. This lecture is the favoribe CT
the author and has been pronounced his
ablest and most striking.
