LECrUREs.-Among the new lecturers last
year none gave greater pleasure than did Charles
G. Ames of California. Committees who have
the arrangement of courses for next winter
should include his name in their list. The
Golden Age-Tilton's paper-alludes to him as
follows:
almong the lecturers booked at the Boston
bureau is Charles G. Ames, formerly of Albany,
bat for six years a resident of California, where
he has made shining mark; and his course of
lectures in San Francisco was the only success
full one in that city since the death of Starr
King. He has an original mind, tull of ideas,
with rich vein of humor-a solid nugget of
radicalism of the most genuine sort, eighteen
carats fine, a good speaker withol, and never
offensive to commonsense conservatism.

DEDICATION OF THE FRENCH CATHOLIC
| CHURcH.-Notre Dame church on Park street,
| formerly the Park street Methodist, was dedi-
| Gated yesterday according to the Catholic form,
| by Bishop O'Reilly of Springfield, formerly of
| this city. The church has been remodeled and
entirely made over inside by the French people,
who have shown wonderful zeal in the work,
| and accomplished much for a class of citizens
most of whom are day laborers. Twenty-one
months ago this society was formed by Father
| Primeau, and for nearly year it worshipped in
| Horticultural hall, until the Park street
Methodists desired to sell their old house. that
they might build their present one. Thirteen
months ago, the society began worship in the
house on Park street, and since that time over
| thirty thousand dollars have been raised toward
paying for the church and furniture.
The decorations for the occasion were beauti-
| full and extensive. On the front of the church,
between the two central pillars Ofthe porch, was
an arch rising trihe higher than the middle
doors. This was made OF evergreen boughs and
| surmounted by cross. 1t was symbolic of The
| Church. In the center, directly under the
| cross, was picture of the Holy Virgin (Notre
Dame), on the right picture of the pope, and
on the left one of Bishop O'Reilly. The three
| affairs were covered with natural flowers.
There were present and assisted in the cere-
| monies of dedication and confirmation (for
confirmation was also great feature, as there
| were 267 persons confrmed) ten priests, viz. {:
Father Clamp, rector of Holy Cross college,
| and Rev. Fathers Goche, Power, Griffin, Gala
| CHER, Walsh, Gagne, Conner, Scanned, and Pri-
mvean.
The French Canadian band added music to
the ceremony, which was a principal feature,
conducted admirably. The singing was mostly
| of hymns in which the whole audience Joined /;
| some pieces, however, were sung by the regular
| choirs-one of adults and the other of boys and
| girls.
| The services began by the procession, which
| formed at the door and marched around the
outside of the church in the following order:
1st the altar boys with cross and candlesticks /;
| ID, clergymen; Sd, the bishop bearing mitre
and cape and blessing the church. Then fol-
| lowed the congregation. The services in the
| church included mass and sermons preached by
| the bishop in both French and English.
| The sermon in French related particularly to
the rite of confirmation, while the one in En-
glish treated more of the dedication of the
| house of worship.
| When the bishop arrived at the church the
members of the congregation were drawn up in
| two lines to receive him-the men forming one
| with uncovered heads and tne women and girls
the other, waving handkerchiefs. In the line
with the men were the st. Jean Baptiste So

THE UNIVERSALLY SABBATH SCHOOL of this
city held their thirteth anniversary yesterday
afternoon. After devotional exercises, con
dGcted by the pastor, and the administration of
the ceremony of christening, as is customary
there ON Lily Sunday, to some fifteen or twenty
children, the librarian, Mr.. o. I. Crawford,
made his report, giving the present number of
volumes as 1880; ten years ago, when he first
entered upon his duties, there were but 376.
Appropriate reference was made to the ample
accommodations, so much needed, afforded by
the new church.
The superintendent, Mr.. VIM. Mecorney, then
made his report, giving the whole number now
| belonging to the school as $3.50, with officers
and q classes aud teachers. Four infant classes
have been consolidated into one, to be called the
infant department" Average attendance
/ during the last six months 1870. The largest
number present at any one time was
26O, at the last meeting held in the
| old church. One has died since
January, Mrs. j. C. Bean, a devoted teacher.
The one lesson system of teaching, adopted in
| April, had given great satisfaction The great
event. the occupation of the new church, was
| appropriately alluded to, and large increase
| of membership and interest anticipated there
| from. The children, by their small contribu.
| tons during the past two years, had paid for
| the corner stone of the new edi6ce, and for
many thousands of bricks besides. The penny
| collections have amounted to 964776, besides
| 500 given to the school by a teacher. One
class of small boys has given of this sum over
| 500 by these little savings. The generous gift
by Mr.. A. w. Wilcox of New Haven, formerly
an attendant here, OF magnificent reed organ,
was gratefully noticed.
After series of interesting exercises by
several of the children, consisting of speaking
pieces, singing, &C., Rev. II. G. Spaulding of
birmingham and Hon. Henry Chaplin were
successfully introduced, and addressed the chill
dren, complimenting the school for its high
| standard of excellence, the beauty and elegance
| of the new church, and the exceedingly attrac-
| tive appearance made by the generous sad taste
| full display of flowers around the pulpit, so be-
comingly emblematc of the day and the occa-
/ sion.
| Rev. Mr.. st. John then addressed some parting
| words of congratuatOu TO the congregation, in
review of the results of the last thirty years of
| Iabors and sacrifices in the field occupied by
| this society and Sabbath school, and urged
| them TO increased prayer for the benefit of
| those who shall come after us, now that new
and more propitOus era had dawned upon us,
| in the completion of this new and beautiful
| church edifice.

A THING OF Decentralization has already
been made of the magnificent new soda foun-
tain in the well known establishment of Fair
banks & Piper, and, considering the various
beautiful features of the structure-for no other
term seems applcable-a brief description may
not be out of place. The fountain is of the
pattern technically known as the Statue" of
which-owing TO their great cost-few have ever
been made The design is not cumbrous
mechanical production, but is both chaste and
imposing, the useful and the ornamental being
tastefully blended in symmetrical harmony.
The most beautiful varieties of marble are used
in its manufacture. The corners are beveled,
and each contains a fine plate glass mirror. In
front of these mirrors stand four statuettes of
-Pariau on marble pedestals. Eight
silver columns extend from the base,
two at each corner, and support the
cap of white marble. Over each
statuette is canopy of white marble, which
also forms the pedestal for another Parian
statuette These statuettes represent, respec-
lively, Science, Agriculture, Vintage, Bath, the
Water Carrier the Last Drop, Innocence, and
Plenty; the whole being surmounted by a
highly finished and snowy fountain in glass,
surmounted by an engraved silver cap, upon
which rests another statuette. 1t has a double
apparatus, with twenty syrups and six draft
tubes. The whole structure is five feet high,
weighs about ton, and cost nearly $4,000.

GRACE NJ Z. CHURCH VEsTRY on Walnut
street was opened for divine service for the first
time yesterday. The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Nc
Keown, preached sermon in the morning, from
Isaiah 6 IA, appropriate TO the occasion, his
general topic being Gods presence in the
sanctuary" Tie vestry room is very neatly
fitted up, and presents fine appearance.
.arge congregation were present. Following the
sermon was thank offering, for the benefit Of
the fund furnishing the church, in the course of
which the sum of over $500 in cash was realized,
besides other valuable contributions. The first
ones to go up and make the offering, were the
venerable Mrs. Randall, nearly ninety years of
age, whose personal recollection dates back to
the earliest history of Methodism in this
country, and little boy and GIRL whose future
history it is hoped will be equally associated
with noble deeds in the next generation.
Among the contributions were: a communion
set, by Ira G. Blake; altar table, by John D..
Chollar; altar chairs, by Henry c. Wilson;
clock, by VIM. II. Robinson; chandeliers, by
William A. Smith, and vases, by Albert S,
Brown The granting of the book cases, done
in truly workmanlike manner, in which the
imitation is complete, is the gift of the talented
artist Eugene A. Williams Of this city.
In the afternoon there was a communion SER
vice, and prayer meeting in the evening.
Tomorrow evening there win be social
gathering in the Vestry, with supper, ice creams,
ETC., and on Wednesday evening a reunion of
all who have been connected with that church,
when reports, addresses, ETC., will be made.

please. The wax figures were-as all wax fig
ures generally are-more like caricatures than
the representation of anybody, especially the
dying zouave," who was represented as quiet
ly breathing his life away with bran new pair
of brogans on his feet which had no appear
ance of ever having seen battle. The French
giant was as large as represented, and
wonder indeed, The tents were filled in
the morning with families, and
these included the best people of the city. In
the afternoon and evening, also, the audiences
were large. One feature of the circus perform
ance was the daring acts of the gymnasts Maco
and Hawley, and while the former was making
a flying leap through the air to catch rope
distant several yards from the trapeze, in the
evening, he miscalculated, and came down from
his giddy height, which caused a chill of horror
to run through the audience as he struck heav-
lily on the edge of the ring He was hastily
picked up and borne out, Meanwhile HawIey
sat motionless in the swing, evidently with no
intention to make the leap until his partners
condition was known, therefore there was a
while of suspense, broken at last by the appear
ance of the unfortunate Maco, who was led into
the ring. Hawley then made the leap success
fully. Although badly bruised and shaken up,
Maco was so as TO walk about yesterday. The
army of wild beasts men and horses stayed in
the city over Sunday, and left soon after mid
night for Fitchburg.
