A Gmlford correspondent of the Courant discourses thus gloomily of that sect-ridden community, which he seems to consider fair specimen of country society:
 At present the status of society in most country towns is this the church is the chief organization and society forms in circles about it, hardening with sectarian clans almost as rnyielding as the strata of the Jurassic period
 
 Each clnrch has its own minister, doctor, grocer and butcher. This very town here has four such nuclei. They rarely combine, but like the heavenly bodies and with the dignity of planetary system', revolve in their own separate orbits. Fairs and gatherings rotate in denominational order, each having it's turn and it's turn its own constituent support
 With many, all sentiment and enthusiasm crystalizes round ''our churches, our minister. ? \ righteous little New England village may be very hot bed for hero worship, and the senti- mept ''love me, love my dog" becomes Glove me, love my pastor" 4.s ..

Ex-Gov Wm. Allen, who died in Ohio, re- gently, was a typical American politician A self-made man, of wonderful lung power and capacity for Handling" people, he was a prominent man even so far back as Jacksons time, and he wound up his political career with an election as governor of Ohio in 1873. He was staunch Democrat, and went out of sight for a generation, while Whiggery and Republicanism ruled Ohio. Though he never changed his party, we infer that he sometimes changed his principles from the fact that from being a ''hard money Jackson man thirty years ago, he became an infiationist in these latter days.
