COMING TO THE pARsos.-Mr A. Lowell, q

COMING TO THE PARsoS.--Mr A. Lowell, at
his jewelry store, corner Of Brown aud Con-
gress Sts., has just received Roger last group
of statuary entitled "Coming to the Parson,'
which will take rank with his other groups
whose fame is worldwide. The group repre-
sents the parson attired in his braided dressing
gown, seated at his table, holding the paper
before him; his attention is just called off by
the appearance of the village swain and his
sweetheart who have come to be united in the
holy bonds. The kindly, half quizzical smile
on the face of the good minister shows at once
that he understands the young couples errand,
while the swain's expression is one of pride
and Joy as he points to the bashful girl clnging
to bis arm, who with the usual country mai
dens modesty is biting the hem of her ker-
Chief as if half ashamed of the step she IS
about to take. Not the least pleasing feature
OF the group is the mongrel cur peering from
beneath his masters legs at the clergymans
cat whose is up ready to do battle with the
dog on the sightesr provocation. Our citizens
are advised to call and see this admirable work
of art

Coon FOR THE A. & N CoMMlrTEE.-Ever
since last Spring, before Miss Annie Louise
Cary left Europe the lecture and concert COM
mittee of the Army g. Navy Union have been
negotiating for her first appearance in Port
land, in their grand concert Owing to the
numerous calls for an engagement in larger
cities, Max Strakosch fixed price for her SER
vices, but declined to fix a date, and finally on
Saturday said it was impossible to spare Miss
Gary at all. The committee offered a premium
over the regular price of $50, $1OO, and finally
$15O, when Strakosch surrendered. and it is
now POSTAGE that we are to have Miss Cary,
supported by other distinguished talent, in the
Army & Navy Union course, some time in No
vember.
Owing to the great expense attending this
concert the price of the evening tickets will be
$100. Course tickets at the regular price,
$500, will admit, however, without extra
charge.

CONCERT BY LEFRANC.-The distinguished
French tenor, Mons Lefranc, is to give con-
cert in City Hall tomorrow evening"
He is to be assisted, as will be seen by an
nouncement in another column, by a company
of frst-cass artists The music-lovng portion
of our public, we do not doubt, will gladly
avail itself of the opportunity to enjoy what
cannot bnt prove most delightful enter aim
| ment. The Boston Post says:
The series of three concerts by the Lefranc
troupe under the management of Sig. Biscacci-
anti, was begun Friday evening in Music II all.
The unpropitiouS weather undoubtedly pre-
vented many from attending, especially music
loving persons residing in the vicinity. The
attendance however was good. AT least fif-
teen hundred were present. The great attrac-
ton was Carlo Letranc, the noted French
tenor. Not few of the audience no less than
of the public, remember his efforts in opera
last season at the Boston Theatre. His voice
last night was in the best condition; at once
strong, resonant, rare and artistic. Its best
qualities were brought out in the barcarole from
from "WiIIiam Tell, "and in the trio from Will
| liam Tell" The latter especially afforded
him an opportunity, which was improved, to
| exhibit the marvellous resource OF his wonder
full vocal powers In its range it swept to the
uppermost reach of melody, never tor an IN

The PORTLAND ARMY AND NAVY UNION
LECTURE AND CONCERT COURSE is announc-
ed in our columns this morning, and we must
say that it is one of the most brilliant prog ram
mes ever announced in Portland. The carrying
out to the letter, and in good style, whatever
they promise to do, is the secret of the won
derful success they have always experienced.
The committee will spare no expense to
make this one of the best series of Lectures
and Concert ever given in this State. The
price of tickets admitting to the entire course,
is placed at two dollars, (OnIy tacenty foe cents
for ecch entertGinmsnt) Owing to the enor-
nous expense attending the Grand Concert,
evening tickets will doubtless be placed at one
dollar. 1t will thus be for the advantage of all
who wish to attend any part of :he season, to
purchase course ticket. Tickets can now be
purchased at any of our book or music stores,
as we'll as other places of convenience.

HARTFORD.
HARTFORD, Oct. Sat the election for town
officers here to-day about two-tbrds of the
vote of the town at State elections was polled.
Notwithstanding the severe storm the vote was
larger 'han usual at town elections. Last year
the entire Democratic ticket for town officers
was elected by 600 to 700 majority. This year
the Republicans elect majority of the Board
of Selectmen, the most important officers. The
Democrats elect the Town Clerk. The minor
officers, constabes, assessors, grand jurors and
school visitors elect are about equally divided.
So far as heard from there are few changes in
other towns. Republican town officers are
elected in Meriden, Pennington, Plainfeld,
East Haddam, Saybrook,i Portland, Glasten-
berry. Killingly, Essex, Berlin, Bethel, Middle
field, Westbr0ok, Winchester and Vernon.
East Hartford and Canten are divided, but the
majority are Republicans; Andover, Kent and
Bristol Democratic. the elections are mainly
