that they could no longer oppose the wishes

form the ceremony whenever called upon to do
SO, and having been sent for he reached the
with the Rev. DR.. Field and the Rev. q. Il,
rockingham. After Mr.. Richardson had

The Tribune gives the following account of
the manner in which the news of the marriage
was received by Mr.. Mcfarland:
he was lying in his cell at the time, and his

THF UNIyEksALIsJ CENgRSARY IN Boston
Some reference was made in our telegraph
col umns yesterday to this gathering ON We'd
nesday evening-the object being to prepare
for the proper celebration of the centennial
anniversary of the establishment of Universal
ism in America, which will occur next year;
and in connection thereunto to raise per-
manent fund of at least 100000, the interest VI
which is to be devoted to denominatiohai
work. Among the speakers were non Israel
Washburn, Jr., of this city ana lev. MI.
| Bolles of BROOKLYN, N We give sum-
mary Of these remarks:
Rev. Mr. Bolles said he desired to lay before
| them his own view of the condition of the
| Universalist denomination and its prospects
and duties at the beginning of the centenary
S SuI this eontnens Wf PAL they cherished had,

| probation of the plan and structure of theiI

| PROOF Oh tnlS tne speaker Clteu many personal
examples, among which was Beecher who was
| styled an equestrian who rode two horses-a
| large white horse of liberalism and q small
black horse of orthodoxy, and the latter he
| drove next to the wall and took good care TO
keep out of sight. At the present time the
church was more compactly and efficiently Or
| gdnized than ever before; and in closing he an.
| pealed to his hearers to devote themselves
heart and soul to take advantage of this fact
