Yesterday at Acton Park.

The Big Four trains, owing to an accident to
bridge near Lawrenceburg, failed to make
regular trips past Acton Park yesterday.
Colonel Sanford, failing to get away,
delivered third lecture in the forenoon on
"Walks About Jerusalem" In the afternoon
Rev. Dr. Carter. of Tennessee, lectured on
'China and the Chinese" and in the evening
Gen. Jasper Packard, of Iowa, lectured on From
the Delta to Vicksburg" A stirring descrip-
ton was given of the forts below New
Orleans their passage by Farragut's feet,
their surrender, and the occupation Of New
Orleans This movement opened the Mississippi
up to Port Hudson and that stronghold and
Vicksburg were all that remained to the enemy,
and to these they chung with tenacity born Of
the knowledge that their fall would give
mortal blow to the Confederacy by severing it
in twain. Then came the descrip-
ton OF the operations against Vicks-
burg, including the Yazoo Pass move
ment, the Steeles bayou and Lake Providence
attempts; remarkably realistic description Of
the running of the Vicksburg batteries; the
crossing of the river below; the battles in the
rear Of Vicksburg, and the great siege, resulting
in the surrender of Vicksburg on the 4th day of
July, 1868. The siege of Port Hudson. also, was
described, aud its surrender on the 9Th of July,
thus removing the last fortified place on the
Mississippi and dealing to the Confederacy its
first mortal blow.

PROSPEROUS SEASON FOR BUILDERS.
More Large Contracts for Improvement This
Summer than Last--The Weeks Permits

Builders this season have enjoyed good share
OF prosperity. They find that large contracts
are in excess of those of last year, while there
has been shortage of work in building small
houses 1t is said this is due to tendency to
lower rents, and capitalists and others have not
been inclined to invest in this way until
the rent rates became more settled. Secretary
Jungclaus. of the Builders Exchange says his
firm has given work to sixty carpenters all sea-
son and to Other branches of the builders calling
in proportion. They have completed several
contracts. amounting to from Sc, 900 to $27, O00
They are engaged in making extensive repairs
at the Spencer House. which include a
new Office, lobby, kitchen, dining room, and
general overhanling Of the building. It is es-
timated that this work will cost over $40, 000
Otto Stschhan is putting up q large addition to
his lounge factory, and the Indiana cotton mills
arr being enlarged at considerable cost. The
sta rch works are to be extended at an outlay of
several thousand dollars while work on the new
market-house under Mr. Buchanan promises en-
ployment to many men for two months or more.
During the week the building permits amounted
to $185I5 in value. the largest being one of
S.. 600 taken out by G. and H. Eden for N. A.
