from the FOX dam to Lincoln square. II requires
the construction of only about 2S5 feet OF archng to

until the buildings now standing upOr the location

MONDAY, JAN. =, 1871.
ADDRESS

Gentlemen o. the Board Of aldermen and Gentle
men Of the Common Council Since the organize
tion of the city, no city government has held its
first meeting under circumstances like the present.
At a time of uneXampled prosperity and of remark
able unanimiy In the feeling of the people, when
election has been recently held which resulted In
the choice of one i'll whom all hearts were united,
and who our confidence and our pride, we are
called upon to organize the city government for the
year ISL amid the drapeTy of mourning, while the
mourners go about the streets When MIR. Blake
was so trumphantly elected ON the second Monday
Of December last, no one who knew him doubted
that he would present at this time full and elabo-
rate statement OF the affairs of the CITY, and of the
policy to be pursued during the year upon which
we have entered. His views were so clear and well
defined, and peculiarly his own, that 1t is not to
be expected that who has taken the office mere
ly dd interim, and in the midst of other engage
nents, can avail himself of the facts and crcum-
stances sufficient to enable him TO throw much
light upon the various departments of the govern
ment. Indeed, / entertain very serious doubts as
TO whether It was desirable for me to make any at
tempt to address you at this time, further than to
complete the organization. Still know there are
many persons who may desire some general state
ment Of the condition of affairs, and by the aid
Of those who have been most Immediately connected
with some Of the important departments Of the city
government during the past year, venture to make
this brief address.

us is our mOneta condition

suffering ones, have Of course made demands for

fully and that its improvements although expensive
and labori0us, have not been more than common

this municipality. The financial condition Of the

STERLING JUNCTION CAMP MEETING
GROUNDS received numerous fresh accessions by
every train, yesterday, among the arrivals be-
ing Hon. Asher Josin of Webster, and family,
who have a cottage there. Among the addition
al new cottages going up, not before alluded to,
are those OF Major Ephraim Jones of Lauen-
burg, Stilman S. Knapp of Ashburnham, and
Mr.. Stevens of Royalston. The Hubbardston
society are erecting new tent of larger dimen-
sions upon their old site near the boarding
house. The Rockbottom tent is being relocated
and built anew. The different societies from
various portions of the district and
outside who have heretofore had tents
upon the grounds have delegates there
fitting them up and putting them in order
for next weeks exercises, and, with the many
additional tents and cottages which have been
built or are being erected this year, it is proba-
BILE that there will be a much larger and more
complete representation of the Methodists Of
this section of New England upon these
grounds on this occasion than ever before. 1t is
estimated that there are already about sixty So
ciety tents and one hundred and fifteen family
tents and cottages on the various streets and
avenues in the grove. These, when filed, as
they will be, will constitute quite a village, to
say nothing of the thousands of spectators out
side, who annually throng to these gatherings.
Mr.. Wellman, the popular caterer and board
ing house keeper, has added 500 new seats to
the restaurant department, thus greatly enlarg-
ing his facilities for accommodating the multi
tudes He will furnish parties with board by
the week, day, or meal, of as good quality as
can be obtained at any hotel. Berlin White OF
this city has been engaged to furnish ice creams
for the occasion He will furnish 200 gallons
per day, quantity conveying some idea of the
multitude expected to be fed.
Mr.. Charles H. Loring is putting up his usual
engagements at the depot for the accommoda-
ton of the crowd with refreshments during
camp meeting.
