the reconstruction" of this church, ana
we are informed that members OF the
church and congregation, duly authorized,
will Immediately commence the work OF
canvassing the city to obtain subscriptions.
Each collector will take with him the ne
cesSary authority, so as TO prevent those
who desire to aid them being imposed
upon by persons who are always ready to
take advantage of an appeal Of this kind.
1t is to be hoped that the people will re-
spond literally to this appeal, and that the
sum already subscribed may be so largely
increased that the work of rebuilding the
church may go on without further delay.
1t will require twenty or thirty thousand
dollars more than has already been sub
scribcd to complete the building.
NATIONAL DIVISION Sons OF 7 TEMPERANCE.
This important body, whose jurisdiction
extends over Canada and the United
States, meets at Montreal on Thursday
next, the 2lst, at 2 =. M.
The Convention will probably be large
and interesting one, and questions affect
ing the relations Of the Sons of Tempe
rance at the south will be decided in such
a way, it is to be hoped, as to promote
union, harmony, and cooperation, on a
great moral question between the two sec
tions of the American States and the
friends of the cause in the British Pro-
vinceS.
The Grand Division of Virginia having,
in January last, accepted a chartcrtrom the
National Division, without any concessions
to radical ideas, and having been sustained
and encouraged in its course thus far by
all the divisions of the Most Worthy Pa
triarCh, will send delegates to the meeting
at Montreal the Sons of Temperance OF
Richmond having, in a generous manner,
supplied the means necessary to a full
representation.
The Most Worthy Patriarch, DR.. J. j.
Bradford, Of Kentucky, after free consul
tation with men of every shade OF opinion,
is confident Of the success of the southern
delegates in securing such measures as
shall be entirely satisfactory to their con-
Stitucncy, and place the harmony OF the
Order upon n permanent basis.
II this conSummatiOn takes place, the
Sons Of Temperance will have the honor,
along with the MaSons and Odd-Fellows, of
securing acceptable reunion in work OF
bcncvolcncc between two diverse sections
of the country, and so far promoting the
general interests of peace in the land.
Very liberal and pleasant arrangements
have been made for the transportation OF
the delegates and visitors to the National
Division, by the lines leading from New
York and Boston, and it is expected that
Canadian hospitality is so far relieved OF
the Fenan visitation as TO be ready to
welcome to Montreal all the guests OF the
occasion, with the usual cordiallty and
kindness of its citizens.
BETWEEN RICHMOND AND NEW YORK;
We add this morning another to the list OF
steamers running between these two points.
Mr.. W. p. Porter adyertiscs that the
steamships Washington and Valley City
will leave Richmond alternately every
Friday, for Norfolk and New York. With
the addition of this line to those already
established, we now have facilities by sea
nearly equal to a daily line to New York.
The vessels running over this route are all
good, the captains are accommodating, and
travellers meet with every attention that
it is possible to give them.
BALTIMORE STEAM PACKET CoNPANY.-
By reference to another column our read
ers will see that this company have changed
their DAYS for leaving Richmond. They
now leave here on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays for Norfolk and all landings
on the river. By this arrangement they
hope to accommodate a larger number OF
the travelling public. In days gone by we
have travelled with Captain Hill, and
should we ever have to go on the river
again we shall certainly try to make it fall
on one of his days. No more obliging
captain ever travelled our river. and no
better boat than the Georgeanna ever came
up our waters.
FREAK OF NATURE.-We were shown
Yesterday a chicken with four perfectly
formed legs. This rdrG ais was hatched
upon the premises of Mr.. d. n. Mcdowell.
1t was blessed with an unusual amount OF
understanding, but alas! was only allowed
to enjoy it few moments, for it breathed
its last in its infancy. Such is life.
ABATE THE NUIsANCEs.-A important
order of Henrico County Court is pub
lished in our columns this morning. 1t is
the purpose of the county authorities to
abatc every nuisance found in the suburbs
of the city, and earnestly to cooperate
with our Board of Health in all their mea-
sures to improve the sanitary condition of
the people in and around the city. All
good citizens will heartily unite with them
in this important work.
Masonic SECTION IN HoLLYwooD.-
Masonic section for the dead of the Order
of Masonry in Hollywood has been lately
repaired and renovated by the Masons OF
