PROCESSION AND SERVICES ON THE FIRST OF JUNE.

The President of the United States having set apart Thursday, the first of June, 1865, as a day whereon all should be occupied at the same time in contemplation of the virtues, and sorrow for the sudden and violent end of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, that day was selected by the Committee appointed under the resolutions of the City Council, as a proper occasion for the delivery of a Eulogy before the City Government. An invitation was extended to the Honorable Charles Sumner, to deliver the Eulogy in Music Hall, and was accepted. As a number of organizations, civil and military, had expressed a desire to make some demonstration of respect to the memory of the late President, arrangements were made for a Procession on the same day. Col. Francis W. Palfrey was appointed Chief Marshal; and, in accordancé with a general invitation from His Honor the Mayor, a large number of bodies, Military, Masonic, Charitable, Trades, and Fire companies, in Boston and its immediate vicinity, reported to him for orders.
