On the 22d inst. Gov. Sheldon
served notice on ]. w. Shannon, Of
Huron, president OF the board of reg

A later dispatch says that Presi-

did not appear to show cause why he
should not be removed, but instead
sent a letter stating that lie would be
pleased to meet the governor as an
equal at any time. The hearing went
on lust the same, as the governor
seems determined to remove Regent
Shannon. Pubic Examiner Hem
mingway and President Sheldon, OF the
board OF trustees, were examined IN
regard to the matter, and the order
removing shannon will undoubtedly
be issued. Just before the examine
ton the governor was served with a

Here the speaker drew a beautiful picture to
demonstrate the fact that God was leading men

silver refiner would never be satisfied with his
work, until he was able to see his image clearly
in the pure metal. SO God would continue in
spring men to purify society, till these storms
will pass away; the fires will! he put out; and God
will see His image reflected in his people. This
wear is past and we have realized nothing. The

"Watchman what of the night An under

them necessary. ISiah was in Jerusalem in

an enemy approaching, but friend. who cried,
"watchman, what of the night?"
The reverend speaker very clearly described
Isiah as a statesman and prophet sitting in the

was the moral or political Waterman. and the
people would ask him, what of the night? AS

say for the old? The picture is not bright. 1t has

has passed away. President CarnOt, one of the
few men who has passed through all the cOrrup-

and pure, fell before the assaSSin's knife. Count
De Lesseps who has benefited the entire COM
