THE MARINE TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY.
This society was first formed July 6, 1840. Re-organized Jan. 10, ! 1845, Attached to the pledge is a roll of many fathoms in length, . well stored with names of every description, from men of note and high standing in society, who occasionally look in upon the tars, give them a word of encouragement, and leave their names as an example worthy of imitation to the old man-o'-war's man, who, having visited our inland seas, resolves to knock off the grog, and follow in the wake. Nor are the boys much behind ; many a driver on the canal, without father or mother, has placed his name on the roll, that the pledge may prove his talisman to guard and guide him on his lonely way.

The old chapel being located on ground which was needed by the C. C. & C. Railroad Co., and the society not having a lot on which to place it, it was sold to the company, who moved it to the lake shore and converted it into a car house. Since-then, one of the most desirable lots in the city, corner of Water and Johnson streets, has been pur- chased, and a brick chapel erected, 40 feet by 80, in which we hope the sailor, the boatman and the stranger, may always find a cordial wel- moce ; and, according to the dictates of his own conscience, have "Freedom to worship God."
The Western Seamen's Friend Society had in their employ last season, eight chaplains and eleven missionaries. Receipts for the year, $7, 582 77.
