PEARL STREET UNIvERsALIsT SOCIETY,"
We learn from the Committee of this Society
that call recently extended to /. M. Atwood
of Watertown, N. Y, to become their pastor
has been accepted by him, and it is expected
that he viii be here by the 10th proximo.
1t is due to this Society to say that the re-
ported call to Rev. G. T. Flanders of Nashua,
which appeared in the papers, was not author
lied, but was based upon reports which were
supposedto be correct. The Committee state
that but one official call has been extended to
any one, before the call given to Mr.. Atwood
In this selection of pastor, the Pearl
Street Society is particularly fortunate, as Mr..
Atwood is alyoung man of Acknowledged abil-
ity and great promise. Rev. DIR. Chaplin, Rev.
DR.. Thayer, and other eminent Universalist
divines speak of him with great favor. He has
contributed some of the finest articles publish
ed in the Universalist Quarterly during the
past season. i''t

Independent Course of Lecture.

AT meeting of large number of gentle
men held some time since in the Mayors Of
fee, it was decided that it would be for the
public advantage to continue, the coming win
ter, the course oflectures on National Affairs,
which have been so popular and successful for
the last three years.
The gentlemen who served last winter were
selected as the Committee Of Management, ex-
cept Oliver GerrisR, Esq, who takes the place
of Hon. John Lynch, the latter being prevent
ed from acting by his duties at Washington as
Member of Congress. a
The list of lecturers, as far as we have
learned their names, is unusually attractive
Among them are Hon. GEORGE S. BoUT-
WELL, formerly Governor of Massachusetts,,
and now Member of Congress; Major Gen. o.
o. Howard, chief of the Freedmsns Bureau
Hon. j. HARLAN, Secretary of the Interior;
Mrs. HARPER, of Maryland, born slave, but
reputed to be very interesting ands eloquent;
FREDERICK DOUGLASS, Esq; Hon. RICHARD
ID. DANA, Jr., q. S. District Attorney for
Massachusetts,. o7
The price of tickets viii be the same as last
winter.
The net proceeds of the course viii be given
to benevolent objects.
This Course is not to be considered in any
sense as the rival of the regular Mercantile
Course The latter is one of the established
institutions of Portland, and will be, as it
ought to be, well sustained The price of tick
cts to each will be so low, as to allow the
great body of our lecture going citizens to at
tend both.
The sole object of the Independent Course
is to bring before our citizens the leading rep
resentative minds of the country, and thus to
obtain the best views and strongest arguments
on the great questions which agitate the Ma
ton. For though the war is over, it has left
us legacy of new ideas and experimental pol
icies which demand the most profound
thought and consideration. These lectures
will aid materially in solving rightly and
righteously the problems of the hour. Meth
'er the gentlemen who projected this Course,
nor the Committee who manage it, are expect
ed to endorse all that may be spoken by the
various lecturers. They come here as loyal
men, and will give their own untramelled
thoughts in their own way; and as they will
speak in freedom, so will the public hear, and
weigh, and judge with like freedom.
We understand the course viii commence
in about two weeks, of which due notice will
be given.
