FOURTH OF JULY.-The prospect of a cell
ebration in Worcester, on the approaching
Fourth of July, we regret to say, is not very
promising, unless the citizens take immediate
measures to fulfill the conditions of the appro-
priation which the city has made contingent on
their early and cordial cooperation. For the
sake of the multitude of children, who are look
ing forward for some demonstration in their
behalf, we trust the subject will be reposed in
the hands of competent committee at an early
day.
PINE MEADow.-It will be noticed that the
City Council, to the extent of its authority,
has given its approval to the generally ex-
pressed wish of the residents of Pine Meadow
for change of the name; and that old Pine
street and new Pine street will be known here
after as East Worcester and Shrewsbury
streets. The general name which covers the
whole neighborhood is beyond the jurisdiction
of the city government, and can only be chang
ed by the general consent of the citizens,
which we do not doubt will be freely and cor
daily given.
THE SABBATH School UNIoN.-It was
rainy last evening, and the annual meeting of
the Sabbath School Union, in the vestry of the

Dy The Natural History Society held an
interesting meeting at the Library rooms, last
evening. Several new specimens were added
to the already extensive collection, and, as the
Society adjourned until the second Monday in
September next, it is expected thatat that time
a large addition will be made to the cabinet by
individual collections in the meantime, thus
advancing the interest in the study Of nature
and charging the cabinet, Of which, though not
so extensive as some others of the kind, our
city may well be proud.
