LONDON, October 7. (Received October 8, at 8.30 a.m.)
Through Miss Mane Corelli’s instrumentality, an ancient house at Stratford-on-Avon associated with John Harvard’s mother has been puchased by Americans, and restored in every detail/ Mr Whitelaw Reid, the U.S. Ambassador, formally opened it. [The Rev. John Harvard was bom (probably) at Southwards, London, in 1607. He graduated at Cambridge in 1635, went to New England in 1637, and died in 1638, leaving for a proposed college over 300 books and £779. Harvard University at Cambridge, Massachusetts, is to-day the oldest, richest, and best equipped university in the United States.]
