Prospect Union.

This year the Prospect Union is a little later than usual in getting its classes started, owing to the serious illness of Mr. Ely. Now, however, everything is progressing satisfactorily and nearly all the instructors have been secured for the fifty classes which the Union expects to conduct this winter.

Mr. Copeland will give a series of four lectures and two readings for the benefit of the union, next month. These lectures will be on English novels, the subjects being Fielding, Thackeray and two others, probably Smollett and Dickens. The lectures will be held Wednesdays at four o'clock in Sever 11, beginning November 15. Tickets for the course may be secured at the Prospect Union, at Amee's, and at the Old Corner Book Store in Boston. The price of course tickets is $2.50; single tickets 50 cents.
