The Temple Street Congregational
 ChurcI1-A Deed and Hts Limitations.
 The Temple street Congregational church is offered for sale by John G. North, trustee, as announced by advertisement elsewhere. The sale is ordered so that the society may locate up town, somewhere in the vicinity of Dixwell avenue, in order to better accommo- date their people, most of whom live remote from the present church edifce.

Its loca- tion is, as is generally known, few doors from Grown street, adjoining the iron railing shop, now Robert Wilson's, for many years conducted by the late Stiles Stevens and his father before him. The church is free from debt. Some years ago Mir. John G. North headed 8 movement which resulted in obtain ing subscriptions enough to clear of the in debtedness. The church was placed in the hands of three trustees, John G. North, Lewis Fitch and Luke Lathrop, and 1t was provided in the deed that the church could never be mortgaged and that it must forever remain devoted to the uses of Congregational church The church could not thus be sold, but to obtain power to do so application had to be made to the Legislature. Accordin gly the late Legislature was applied to, and the power to sell was given. The church lot is forty six feet front and the property was once appraised at $6 OoO but will not now fetch that
