sewerage, but he said the end to be accomplished
Is to carry the sewage some distance below the
city and there discharge it.
The flats, he said, ought to be reclaimed, and
the sewerage system ought to be improved; but
the latter was not so important as the former. He
spoke of an Improvement Of the sewerage system
as matter worthy OF consideration in connection
with sanitary improvements AS to the flats he
again urged the Importance OF retaining them,
ana thought the plan offered by the late Major

UNIvERsALIsTs' SOCIETY.

the corner stone for the new Universalist church
took place yesterday afternoon at 6 O'Clock. The
site selected is most appropriate one-at the
southeast corner OF 18th and streets northwest,
where the excavation for the cellar had already
been made and the ground leveled for the founda-
ton preparatory to the ceremonies of yesterday.

exercises The pastor, Rev. Alex. Kent, made
opening remarks, abiding to the struggles of the
congregation IN this District to maintain for so
many years their association intact, and now that
thelr hopes were so near being realized he Sad it
became question as to whether there was more
pleasure In pursuit or possession. They now
own the site and had good share of the money
necessary to rear the superstructure upon the
corner stone which they had met to lay. At the
conclusion OF his remarks the congregation sung
