THE PRocEssIoN.-Probably no feature Of
the 4th of July procession will be more attract
i've than the Sons of Temperance. We learn
that they are making extensive arrangements
to give credit to their order and the city, 1t
is designed to invite neighboring divisions to
attend, provided suitable arrangements with
the railroads can be made, and from what we
know of the committee of the order having the
affair in charge, we can assure all, that their
part will be no small one, in the pleasing effect
of the day.
UNION CHURcH.-We learn that the con-
gregation which recently occupied Union
Church, having agreed to sell the church prop
erty rather than repair the damaged edifce, do
not propose to dissolve their organization, but
have actually made liberal provision for the fu-
ture, and their popular pastor, Rev. Henry d.
Moore, will remain with them. For the pres
ent they worship in Mechanics Hall, morning
and evening, where they have overflowing con-
gregations. They propose to secure an eligi-
BILE lot on Congress Street-probably near the
Hall where they now worship--and erect upon
it a structure suited to their future wants and
prospects.
REAL ESTATE SALE.-We learn that II. p
Storer, ESQ.,, has purchased the estate of d. H.
Furbish, Esq, on Danforth and Spring Streets.
This is one of the most beautiful locations in
the city, and although the grounds are now un-
der good state of cultivation. they are sus-
ceptable Of further improvements which they
will undoubtedly receive at the hands of the
new proprietor. Mr.. Storer, we understand,
paid $4,000 for the property. On the lot ad-
joining this, on Spring Street. first class three
story brick dwelling house has just been erected
and is in the course Of completion by John
Randall, ESQ.,, for his own occupancy. This
lot was once part of the same estate on which
Messrs. 7. c. Hersey and Henry H. Furbish
have also very beautiful residences.
Work FOR THE SoLDIERs.-We learn that
the Ladies Committee, at their room, City
Building, now have supply of hospital stores,
such as sheets, shirts, towels, &c, cut out to
be made up, and would be glad to have parties
call and take this work to make up as early as
possible, as urgent calls are now making for
such supplies, in view of the great battle soon
to come off. The Washington papers of last
week reported the number of sick soldiers at
fifteen hospitals in that city and vicinity to be
1856. This is number of sick persons ex-
ceeding that of the whole population of any
town in Cumberland County, save Portland,
Westbrook and Brunswick
IMposING.---Our towns-foIk were much de-
lighted last evening, at the imposing appear
ance of the Portland Commandery, arrayed
in their full and rich regalia, and performing
escort duty to the DE Molay and Boston En-
campments of Knights Templar.
We learn also that the st. Johns Encamp-
ment from Rhode Island, will become the
guests Of De Molay Encampment at Boston,
dining with them at the Revere House.
sg- A Mrs. Real recently shot her husband
in New York for his conjugal infldelity since
which time she has been overwhelmed with the
sympathy Of ladies in high position. II is
hoped her.act may not be extensively initiated,
as it might seriously deplete the male popula-
tion of our large cities.
