HARRINGTON.

Dr. Barber was married some time ago
and a band of calath Impian serenader.
rendered him a grand send off last Friday
evening. He ordered them away
and they reluctantly went; but on
Saturday evening they again attemp.
ted to complete the serenade with the in
tention of making the Doctor make a
speech and then treat the crowd. He
again ordered them away and allowed
them five minutes to get off, but the crowd
did not know the Doctors temper and
they stayed on and demanded his ap-
pearance He appeared, but in different
manner from what they asked for he
treated them to several shots over their
heads, with the effect of embedding them.
A few of the more bold went nearer the
house and were met with another charge
from the Doctors gun, and at this fire
Oscar Hudson received a wound in his
left jaw They then took their departure.
Dr. Barber claims that he used only blank
cartridges, while others claim that he used
both powder and ball DR. Lewis dressed
the wound and pronounced it a bullet
wound The matter seems to be smoothed
over in some way land there it will remain. |
The boys went again on Monday night
and the Doctor gave one dollar for treat ]
1t has been the custom here for some time }
to give these entertainments to newly mar
ried people, Some have severely censured /
the doctor for his hasty action Some
think the boys went too far, but there is
a law in such cases, and the doctor should .
have aYailed himself of it, rather than take
the law into his own hands. The doctor
regrets his hasty action.

The lot which is so feet by 40 feet as
will be seen BY the above diagram. was
originally purchased at a cost Of 5000, and
the present Armory which of course
could not, and would not be, utilized for
pur oses of entertainment occupies the
entire front of the lot to the depth of 80
feet. thus leaving space for a building
5oxoo feet, of which the rear end to the
depth Of "a feet, could be taken for stage
upon which could be conveniently ar
ranged two dressing rooms SxIo feet. The
auditorium would be 4oN66 feet having a
seating capacity of about 600. This
room could be beautifully utilized for re-
ceptions, festivals end other similar pur
poses, and the entire improvement could
be made n good style for about s., 500,
including necessary scenery, stage prop
critics and equipment. There might be
various plans suggested for the erection
of this addition and the security of the
investment which surely would be good
paying one. A joint stock company
with $50 shares of $40 each, could con-
struct the building from which at least
$500 per annum should and would be OBJ

On last Friday night in the basement
of the Presbyterian Church, Prof Lyman
p Powell delivered his lecture, "Wash
iugton aud Lincoln" it being the first OF
a series of six lectures which he will de.
liver before the Milford Center of the
University Extension. Considering the
extremely severe weather there was a very
good attendance. Prof Powell was lis.
tened to with marked interest, and his
lecture in the main was exceedingly well
received as it deserved. There was how
eyer a little Impression left in the minds
of his hearers that the crude Western
manners of Mr.. Lincoln we're taken with
him to the White House. It may not
have been the intention of the lecturer
to have conveyed this idea, but personal
knowledge of the man and intimacy with
his family, would have naturally demon
strated the fact that Mr.. Lincoln, though
not as polished as a Chesterfield or as
prim as a Beau Brummel, was ever at
least during his occupancy of the Presi-
dental chair, in manner quiet, unobtru
sive and suaYe. Mr.. Powell has evil
dentiy given his subject much study and
placed its results in a very excellent con-
else manner before his hearers. upon
whom he made a most favorable impress
sion. 1t is to be hoped that the other
lectures Of the course will be well patron
lied.
