MT. spauIding's Lectures.

The audience at the Grand Opera Heuseto- night is likely to be more numerous than ever at the previous course, for very large DOT tion of the seats in the parquet have been taken for the course, and a good many seats in the gallery. The lecture this evening will be on an interesting subject, ''Roman Sum- mer Resorts," and will treat of the beautiful bay of Naples and the places of historic in- terest which lie upon it's shores. Monday evening Mir. Spaulding gave the first of 8 short course on ''Ancient Life and Art'' in Springfield to an audience whose information twas enlarged, says the Republican, land eyes were delighted for their attendance" /" Those who heard the same lecture last year on "Pompeiis Destruction and Ancient Splen- dors" were surprised at the improvement not only in the speakers delivery but in his treatment It is earnestly requested that all the audience will be in their seats at o'clock this evening. Last season considerable dis comfort was caused by late corners, and 1t is mere justice to both speaker and hearers to ask that all shall be in their seats when the clock strikes eight. Course tickets $2. % and $1.50, according to location, can be obtained at Judds store up to the hour of the lecture, but any single admission tickets (5O and 75 cents) can be obtained at the Opera House.

Parallel Road.

In all probability the present organization of the Parallel road will be dropped for the season, there being no reasonable likelihood that the company will expend before Octo- Der 2Oth the $50, ,OOO that the law requires them to spend in actual construction expenses as condition of maintaining their corporate existence. The directors meet tomorrow in New York, but even if the decision of the Railroad Commissioners should be favorable on their petition for layout, it is not likely that any work will be done the present sea- son. Under the general railroad law of the State company can be organized and go ahead at any time, so that if the present cor poration becomes legally defunct the same men can recreate it whenever disposed. In conversation about the to-day, one of the Bridgeport parties interested in the en- terprise said that the building of the road might be deferred for a time, but that it would surely be built.-B71dgeport Farmer

 Much talk goes on in the Democratic hap py family in the Seventh ward over the de- nouement last Friday night: On that even ing flag raising was arranged to take place l in that ward and the Hancock and English Guards turned out to considerable extent. The trouble arose, as some have it, over a question of precedence, as to the right of the line and the band. The result was that the crowd which had possession of the banner would neither give it up nor allow it ogo up, and hence the banner raising didn't take place. The party organs have been very still about the matter. Now the crowd that didn't have the banner loudly proclaim that the other crowd shall not raise the banner, and some of the Solons of the party have made repeated journeys as paciicators among the chiefs of the insurrectionists and the time for the banner raising is not fixed
