Alnwick Castle.

Alnwick Castle, according to the observations of a learned antiquary, owes Its origin to the Romans. It is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Britain, containing about five acres of ground within Its outer walls, flanked with sixteen towers and turrets. The largest block of marble ever sent out of East Tennessee was shipped by way of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to New England daring the first week in March. It was consigned to Norcross Bros., at East Cambridge, Mass., and ii weighed 45,000 pounds. It was quarried near Knoxville.
