A MASSACHUSETTS WORTHY. —At Boston, on
the 26th ult., commemorative services in honour of the
late es-Governor Andrew took place under the auspices
of the City government. At an early hour the
great hall Will filled to overflowing. Prominent was the
front of the second baloony supporting an arch bearing in
large letter" the name " John A. Andrew," beneath which
was a shield with the word "Union" upon it in rilverletters,
and surrounded by silver stars. A short distance to the right
of the arch were the words, " Born May 31, 1918," and at
equal distance to the left were the words," Died Oct. 30,
11467." Upon the centre of the platform the bust of es-
Governor Andrew occupied a prominent position, and
beneath it were arranged flowers and evergreens., typifying
the sunny life of the illustrious dead. At the right of his
best were busts of President Lincoln and Colonel Shaw.
Still further to the right was Rogers' statue of the wounded
soldier ; and at the left again was one of John Brown,
beneath which was an anchor. The last bust was Edward
Everett with a civic crown. The platform was occupied
by many of the leading citizens of the city and the Siete,
besides the consul" of foreign powers and a number of
literary gentlemen, among whom were Mr. Chas. Dickens,
Professor Avoids, Mr. James Russell Lowell, Dr. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, and Mr. John G. Whittier. On the
platform were also seated the singers and instrumental
I performers engaged for the occasion. His Honour Mayor
I R.-torero's presided. The ceremonies began with an intro-
' ductory on the organ, after which prayer was offered by
