»Albion has several (7) denominations, six churches, three first-class drygoods stores, four saloons, three drug stores, three barber shops, three groceries, six doctors and plenty of lawyers.. We heard of a man in town the other day who threatened to withdraw from a certain churchif the pastor was not discharged, fired, bounced ‘immediately. At this date it is hard to tell which would have been more beneficial for the spiritual welfare of the church.

We hope the well-to-do taxpavers of Noble county will back up Mr. Noonan in his kick against the machinations of a pig who has forced himself into a position to get a big fat fee, when there are poor but more competent mechanics who would have been glad to haye taken the job at half the money. A minister of the gospel is about to leave Albion and his flock behind. He is a man who probably desired to do right, but negleted favorable opportunities. His going and the manner and cause of his departure has a moral, and forcibly depicts a sorrowful spectacle. No one dare question his good intentions; but, alas! the will was too weak for the dictates of ‘a righteous conscience. There is no perceptible change for the better in the way of an increase of membership to the church. Grace, Charity, Love and Friendship are occupymg the same pew they did ere he made his adyent here. They all occupy one pew, away up in the corner, and never difluse or spread outside of the vicinity of that ‘one, lonely bench. He came full of hope and with a yearning desire to save some of the Godless souls in Albion. Thathopeis blighted, and has withered like the frost-biften flower. The very men whose influence he courted, and to whom he looked for support and aid, have deserted him. He allowed himself to be led and dictated to by a self-chosen few. He tightly shut his mouth on a great moral question, and refused to accept of truth and information. - His eyes were closed and his ears stopped ; mruth could not enter. He fell among bad adyisers and now reaps the reward (P) of regret and remorse. We hope the next field he enters he will not be so hasty in his choice of advisers and eronies.
