Congregational Church.

We mentioned . few weeks ago, that the two
Congregational Churches in Ottawa had voted to
unite and thenceforth form one church. This
union, OF course, involved the dismissal of their
preseut pastors, the Rev N. K. Whittle.sy and
Rev. E. N. Lewis. Mr.. Lewis having resigned
before the union wss agreed upoa, Nr. Whit.
tlesey only was left, and he having been an in
stalled pastor, the rules of Congregationalism, it
seems, required that his connection with the
congregation should be dissolved by council
This council, accordingly was summoned, and
met in this city on Tuesday of the present week.
After heAring::a statement the part of the con.
gregstisn aud q statement from Mr. Whittlesey,
the council came to the following resolution:
That in the opinoin of thisIcouncil, Justice to
the Rev n. K. Whittlesey requires rs to disap-
prove of the action Of the church in proceeding
70 the contamination of Cunion Of this church
With the Plymouth church, on basis affecting
him so seriously, without frs. counsel with him
in the matter, or at least notifying him of the
contemplated action. This We think courtesy as
we'll 40 christian charity demanded. 't
That under existing circumstances, it 10 the
advice Of this councR that the pastoral relation
between Rev. N. X. Whittlesey and the First
Congregational Church and society of Ottawa be
dissolved.
That we bear testimony to the unanimity of
respsct, gratitude and affection expressed for
their pastor by the people through their repre-
sentatives before the council.
That ~ csuncil we cordially commend Bro.
Whittlesey to the fellowship Of our churches,
fseaing that his long aud acceptable ssrvice in
the cause OF Christ entities him to the conf.
denoe and christian affection of all who lsbor for
tho upbuildiug of the Redeemers kingdom on
earth. ..rt..t.. .... -
Accepting the decision Of the couscil, Mr..
Whittlssey at once sent in his es.gnatoa, which,
at meeting Of the church on "wednesday even.
ing, Wac accepted, alss the action ot the coun.
Gil in the premises. So the two Congregations.
churches Of Ottawa will henceforth be one. It
is understood that steps are to be taken imme.
diately to call new pastor, as also toerect new
church building on the site of the present brick
church, the congregation meantime to OCCUPY

lglHIS Society, which confines its bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other As
Surance Company, Iabouriug in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the

which ReverSiouary Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per mum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il e
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during d period of 30 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part Of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those iuhabitiug
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other C)ompauys
The following abridged Table shows
The Premiums required TO assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life :-

All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.

Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the
importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
is as important. nay, even more so, than regu-
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those effete matters which, if
permitted to remain. would speedily destroy
life. A total suspension of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quanti-
ties at the time, OF when there is disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural, or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with weakness in the small Of the back, it
should not be trihed with or delayed, but Kos
koo should be taken at once to remedy the
difficulty, before leison of the organs takes
place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys.
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we reeollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidneys except through the
general circulation Of the Blood, VIC see how
necessary is to keep the Fountain of Life
Pure.

FAYETTE COUNTY FLoURIsHING.-Fay-
cite county seems to be fortunate; it is
out of debt and has cash on hand. 1t is
now likely to turn its attention to rail-
road building. The Somerviile Falcon,
live paper, thinks so. or at least advo-
Gates such enterprise. 1t says: As was
shown by the lastreport of our able and
efficient financial agent Esquire Cooke,
to the January term of the Quorum
Court, we are out of debt, with a surplus
of cash in the treasury, and at the same
time the rate of taxation is from twenty
to forty per cent. lower than that of
neighboring counties. These being facts,
it would be foolishness to say that we are
not able to assist in building railroads
that are to pass through this county.
We are abundantly able, and we think
our people viii be standing in their own
light if they refuse to subscribe the ne
cessary amount to push these enterprises
forward to successful completion"
The Falcon is right. Now is the time to
push all enterprises ahead.
