Mr.. J. A. Shibley has been urged by
many of the people of this city, who
appreciate his efforts in securing the

Mr.. Shibley promptly communicated
with Sir Edwin, and got the refusal of
the date Of Jan. % for him TO lecture
again. The refusal stands good for ten
days, and in the meantime Mr.. Shibley
is receiving subscriptions at 81 per ticket
at Corey Brothers, Steinerts' and Goff"s
music stores. The expense is large, and
those persons who did not hear Sir Ed
win when he was here. and most of those
who did. will no doubt be delighted TO
learn that he is 20 return.
A different program will be given and
Sir Edwin will talk about his travels.
The return depends upon the sale of
tickets during the next week and the
people will certainly bring the dis
tinguished poet and scholar to the city
again.
