A NIGHT OF OPERA. - Max MaretZek'
German opera company, who have been delight
ing the Bostonians with a new opera every night
for fortnight, are to stop one night in this city
on their way to New York, They will appear at
Music hall next Wednesday, and the opera Sc.
lected is one of their best, "Der Freischutz"
The two prima donnas, Rosetf and Haffner and
srs thinner, tenor, Formes, Franosch and
,Ae rest have met with extraordinary success in
in this opera. The orchestra and chorus
have been especially complimented by the
press elsewhere, and musical persons who
went to Boston and heard this company give
'Don Giovanni" and "Tannhauser" know how
well this praise is merited. The hint of the COM
ing of this great attraction has already moved
the people on the line of the Nashua railroad
to secure an extra train for Wednesday night
which will be run as far as Groton junction,
perhaps to Fitchburg. 1t is said that trains will
also be run on other roads, The sale of tickets
will begin next Monday at nine A. NJ.
For MAYOR, EDWARD EARLE.-The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Earle for the office of mayor set
ties, in a very satisfactory manner, the question
as to who shall be Mr.. Blake's successor. Mr.
Earle is too well known and respected in this COM
munity to require any special word of commenda-
ton at this time. The nomination was exceed
ingy complimentary TO him, representing as it
did the majority opinion of one OF the most re-
markable caucuses ever held in this city,-re-
markable for the character of the men who COM
posed it. Apparently not an interest of the city
was represented, and while there was due pro-
portion of the younger and active men of all
shades of political belief, it was the largest
and most general assemblage of the chief men
among our older and most respected citizens that
has met here for long time. Among the popu-
lar and able men who were voted for last night
it was hard for some to make a choice. But the
senior candidate led handsomely on the first
ballot and gained steadily on every ballot.
His younger competitors, who were put
forward by their personal friends, are reserved
for future honors. The nomination of Mr.. Earle
is tantamount to an election next Monday.
