- Perry Anti-Secret Aséoelatloin. According to previous 'an;iouncement, a small audience met in the U. B. Church in Ligonier, at 7 o’clock p.y. of Feb. 19th, 1874. . : . The house was called to order by the President and the meeting opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Leuty, after whi¢h Rev. Mr. Stodard proceeded to address the audience on-the Evils of the Principles of Secret Institutions.

Mr. Stodard illustrated, with telling effect, the “Secret Empire” by the use of a chart which beautifully illustrates that institution. =By reference to masoni¢ works ‘of undisputed authority, the speaker next showed that masonic authors claim that, masonic WOrks re--generate the heart and fit man for the Grand Lodge Above; thus proving ‘beyond question that the Religion of Masonry is one thing’ and the Religion of the' Bible quite another. e then ‘illustrated the operations of -Grangers, giving their installation ceremonies, secrets, ete., stating that, in. localities where the Grangers first commenced operations they have already become disaffected, many seeing that it is an injury to the farmer and a source of great gain to a few who control the institution. e then cited an article in the .Jnter-Ocean of Dec. 16th, 1873, wherein was the statement that the National Grange had recently met and voted themselves twenty thousand dollars to pay the expenses of the meeting. And only twenty-four members to share this salary-grab! The meeting adjourned subject to a call of the executive committee.

REYV. STODDARD, as will be noticed in the-proceedings of the “Noble County Anti-Secret Association,” had the audacity to assert at Albion that the noted Kansas corruptionist, ex-Senator Pomeroy, came to grief by »eason of his having delivered an anti-thasonic speech. If Mr. Stoddard wishes to he recognized as a “ministerial reformer,” we. would advise him to exercise a little more caution in making such statements. The facts are that Pomeroy is about as-corrupt a political knave as ever disgraced a seat in the United States Senate, and that he was defeated because his shameless rascality was exposed just in time to avert the cal amity of his re-election. His opins ions in regard to secret societies had no bearixig whatever upon the contest, as every man of information and good sense well knows. Mr. Stoddard and his co-laborers will have to hunt up better material for martyrdom, else an intelligent public will be slow to arrive at the conclusion that things would be bettered by the “political reformation” which these gentlemen pledge themselves to inaugurate.

—The lecture of Rev. A. Marine, on the “Mission of Science,” last Tuesday evening, was not attended by as large an audience as the projectors' had a right to anticipate. Yet the turn-out was quite respectable and comprised a liberal portion of our most intelligent citizens. The closest attention was given throughout the delivery of the lecture, which doubtless struck a sympathetic cord among the auditors. Mr, Marine’s eulogy upon the glorious achievements "of scientific men and his bold declaration in favor of an ernlightened religious sentiment created a decided sensation. Few had thought or believed that such liberal sentiments would be espoused by a Methodist minister of Mr. Marine’s reputationand prominence. We cannot say that the subject - itself was treated from a profoundly scientific’ standpoint, yet we think it will readily be conceded that no happier method coul}l'/‘ be devised for bringing the subject to popular attention and favor than the one chosen by Mr. Marine. - The Rev. gentleman speaks: very fluently, uses the choicest language, and is, on the whole, a forcible and eloquent orator. —Dibolo, the fire demon, has recently favored the citizens of Ligonier, Albion, Rome City and Brimfield with his astonishing and at the same time very amusing performances. Unlike a majority of showmen," Dibolo performs all that he gdvertises. He bites off picces of red-hot iron, drinks boiling whisky, eats live ¢oals, and perpetrates other miraculous deeds. He has been very closely watched during his exhibitions, but not the slightest deception could be detected by the watchful and the skeptical. Indeed, deception’ appears utterly impossible in this instance. * His comical delineations never fail to ¢bring down the house;” in short, Dibolo is a perfect brick. s kA

—The Ministerial Association, of Indianapolis, composed of Evangelical preachers, has resolved that “Sunday funerals should be avoided whenever practicable, and that whenever it is necessary to bury the dead on the Sabbath, it should be done without needless ostentation or display.” We are glad to say that their jurisdiction is limited to the city, and thatsiek folks outside need pay no attention to this priestly fulmination, . i - —The Bodrd of Directors of the Ligonier Building, Loan and Savings Association will meet at the office: of the Secretary, D. W. Green, Esq., néxt Monday evening at 7 e’clock. At this time the first loan of #s6oo ‘will be awarded to the highest bidder.

~ The idea of moving the county seat from Albion to this place does seem to agitate the minds of our people considerably at this time. I can hardly explain why the subject came up, only from the fact that it ought to be agitated until we accomplish the removal. There never has been a time ‘but that the bare mention of the subject would create much enthusiasm in the minds of some citizens. This cannot be explained from the benefits we would i"ec,eive by the advantages it would add 'to our city in a pecuniary way, and I can only account for it from the justice there would be in selecting this town as the site for its future location. It has long been known, and so expressed, that pe(fple of this county living near the lines of the two railroads of this county, which form a junction at this place, would much prefer to get aboard the cars and come to this town to pay their taxes and attend to their court matters than go to Albion, and in- fact much time and money would have. been saved to the people of this county had such been theé case long ago. It will not be denied that fully twothirds of the people of the county live in the townships through which these railroads pass, and it would be much more convenient for them to do their county business at this ,placé than at Albion and I see 10 'goo& reason why these two-thirds showld not control the matter. The only reason why we select Kendallville in‘ preference to any other town on the-lines of these two roads, is because of its.location at. the junction, which advantage no other town in the county possesses. Now, to verify the above, let us look at the returns of the last election. The six® townships through which these railroads pass polled at the last election over three thousand votes, which is nearly two-thirds of all the votes cast in the county. Fifty-five per cent. of all the votes cast in the county is 2,550, and it does look quite "plausible that the requisite number to move the county seat could be 6btained from these three thousand, with some additional help from the adjoining townships. As to the respective damages and adyantages which Albion and Kendallville might sustain by such removal, that should not be taken into account by the citizens living outside of these towns. The people should simply look at their own convenience in the matter, and not let geographical ‘centres prevent any man from voting for his own interest. I would suggest that a meeting be held at' this place, soon, by citizens fromi .the six townships traversed by these railroads, and from any other township which may be interested in the movement, and let themdisquss the project of moving the cotmt;';}; sedt. - Also, let it be determined at this meeting how much Kendallville must donate toward the erection of county buildings and transagt any other business pertaining to this matter. i The city council at their last meet- % ing appointed ‘a committee of three, in obedience to a petition requesting them to investigate the building of the school-house, ete. Ifis my opinion that the greatest error they will find will be the $l5O which, the people will have to pay for the investigation, as it is estimated it will cost that amount.

An effort is being made by some of our prominent citizens to settle our $25,000 indebtedness to the Continental Improvement Company. Many think it can Dbe paid off with about $15,000 in cash, and if so, an effort will be made to obtain the money. Already two persons have agreed to loan the city $B,OOO to help carry out that object. ; : This city is still without a marshal. Our Council seems to have a very happy way of getting rid of officers of the corporation who do n’t suit them. Already two have Deen impeached. Who will be the néxt vietim 9. i

BRIMFIELD JOTTINGS

David Depew, two miles north-west of town, has let to Jonathan Rimmel the contract of building a large bank barn. Mr. Wm. Halferty, two miles east of town, has also contracted with Mr. Rimmel for the erection of a like structure. There will be considerable building done in this vicinity during the coming season, : Roads are very bad, and it is doubtful whether T. P. Kessler gets two thousand cords of wood on the railroad this month as he had calculated. Dibolo, the fire demon, gave us ‘an entertainment last Thursday evening. ‘There was a large attendance and the exhibition gave general satisfaction. ‘Rev. Chaplin (Universalist),of Michigan, gave us an abye'lect_ure on Monday evening. There was not a large attendance, owing to a singing school on the same evening. On Tuésday evening he lectured on the Uses and Abuses of Secret Societies.. On this evening there was avery large attendance. | _

My effort this week will be a relig:

ious one, for we are all trying to get religion in Wawaka. There is a great 'shaking here in the tops of the mul.berry trees. The protracted meeting is held in the M. E. Church, under the preaching of Rev. G. W. Howe, who is talking to the people daily and nightly, and a goodly number have responded to the invitations by making open «confession of known sins. I imagine sometimes that (like Hugh Miller) I see the footprints of the Savior, and ‘see angels hovering round where His spirit is present. o re Now, Mr. Stoll, I have told my experience and we would all like to hear cyours next week; so please boil yourself down to a quarter column and tell us. It would be:iso refreshing to all the readers, to hear an editor tell his religious experience. [We will take the matter under advisement, and if the spirit moves us properly, we may devote a quarter column to a narrative of our “experience.’'—EDlTOß.] 0 i
