A Statue to Longfellow.

A number of gentlemen met in the Alder
mems room Saturday afternoon to confer to-
gether as to the advisability of attempting to
obtain a statue to be erected to the memory OF
the poet Longfellow in this city. The meeting
was called to order by Rev. Henry s. Burrage,
and Hon. j. w. Symonds. Judge OF the su-
preme Court of Maine, was chosen chairman,
with Mr.. Burrage as secretary.
Mr.. Burrage thought if anything OF the kind
was attempted the effort should be made at
once. He understood large number OF our
citizens were friendly to the project. He read
the constitution of the Cambridge, Mass, As
ISOLATION, so that those present could get good
idea of the best way to accomplish the desired
result.
Mr.. George F. Emery was strongly in favor
of the statue and believed in an organization
as focal point at which public sentiment
could centre.
Mr.. fash thought there were two places
where it was eminently fit that statues OF the
poet should be erected. One was Portland,
the home of his youth; the other Cambridge,
where the most of his life had been passed.
Cambridge had started the project OF statue
with national contributions That was well.
Now II seemed fit Portland should secure local
and State contributions for their statue. There
are 100 900 school children in the State who,
he believed, would, if asked, to the extent OF
at least a tenth of the number give ten cents
gladly for such an object for the young are
much interested in Longfelow. In return a
Diploma, neat in character, could be given
L. fnptn
possess There are 1000 teachers, many OF
whom would like to contribute something.
judge Symonds thought a good many causes
had conspired to make it difficult to raise
money in Portland for statue to any distin-
guished man, or in commenoratlon OF any
notable event, some of which he enumerated
But there is evidently strong feeling now IN
favor of one to the poet.
MIR. III. w. Richardson, of the Advertiser,

tween Cambridge and Portland in this mat ter
One city contemplates an elaborate affair, the
other statue by Simmons, to cost about $l0,

Mayor Libby spoke favorably in support OF
the matter, as did MIR. Hoyt, of Hoyt, Fogg &
| Donham.
1t was finally voted to appoint committee
who should draft constitution and obtain
names of those who would agree to subscribe
| and report on Saturday, the 10th of June, a
| the same place, at p. M, as to the advisable
| ity of proceeding with the undertaking.
Messrs Ell. S. Burrage, j. P. Baxter, Israe

II, b. u. n. FL.
To the Citizens of Portland:--In view Of the
fact that the American Board is not strictly a
denominational organization, the committee OF
arrangements have taken the liberty to make
general appeal to the hospitable citizens OF
Portland for accommodations, and they desire
to say that the spirit which has already been
manifested throughout the city, has greatly
encouraged them in their work, and led them
to believe that the solicitations of the canvass
ers will meet with generous response. Should
there be good deal of delay and hesitation on
the part of those who are asked to receive
guests, the work and care of the committee
will be greatly increased, and such means OF
entertainment will have to be resorted to as
would sadly reflect upon the hospitality OF our
city. The committee do not anticipate any
thing of this kind, however, bat are assured
that our people will gladly open their doors to
the strangers
Clergymen of all denominations in the city
have entered very heartily into the spirit OF
the occasion, and have not only offered TO open
their own houses but have kindly asked their
people to do the same.
The committee desire TO express their thanks
to the Bishop and Canon of St. Luke's, and
the rector of st. Stephens, and to the clergy
nnsn of the Baptist Methodist, Unitarian, Uni
versalist and Swedenborgian churches for
their generous proffers of sympathy and assist
ance.
The canvassers will begin their work this
week, and our citizens will soon have the OPP
portunity of making such offers OF their hos
pitality as their hearts shall dictate We be-
speak for them cordial reception and hear
ty response.

Fourth of ,July.

A special meeting of both branches OF the
City Council will be held tonight to see wheth-
or Fourth of July appropriation Shall be made
We understand the Mayor thinks from the ap-
preparations the sum of $500 can be spared
for this purpose. There is no doubt there is a
strong pressure on all sides for celebration.
Other cities in the state are making efforts to
gather in the coin of their sister towns, and for
several years, great deal Of money has been
taken from the city to be spent elsewhere 1t
is actually getting to be question whether
Portland is too mean to celebrate the Fourth.
It is true economy is most desirable in the state
of our public affairs, but we must be careful
that this desire to not waste the public money
does not drive us into the opposite course max
ing the city lose money it would otherwise
gain.

last evening. Mr.. S. W. Larrabee, the presi-

iect of organization, after which the Scriptures
were read by Rev. Mr.. Dickinson. from the
10th Psalm, follow ed by prayer by Rev. A
III. Wright of the St. Lawrence street church
The report of the trustees was presented by
Rev. Mr.. Anderson, and from it we gather the
following statistics:
Out of 1858 families visited, 81 were found
destitute of Bibles, and supplied during the
past ten months by Mr.. e. B. Stilson. In Bath
u out OF iii families were without the Bible.
OF the 5,65S families, 1852, or more than half
were non-church goers, and 2,098 children did
not attend Sunday School. One girl in Bath,
who attends a grammar school, has never
heard a religious service, or even prayer in
her life Formerly the society labored for the
county of Cumberland alone; now it extends
its work through the State, and will continue
. those efforts il supported.
