tor the lecture course, on Thursday
OF last week, was well attended and
"a large number of seats were dispos-
ed OF. The premiums paid ranged
from two dollars down to ten cents.
The absence from town Of many
young people and the prevailing
financial stringency made little diff
ference in the total receipts of the

reason to complain of the result of
the sale. There are still quite
number of seats on sale at Bing-
hams, and the attention of the pub.
lie is called to the fact that securing
