The baccalaureate address at Albion will be delivered at the Baptist church tomorrow evening by Rev. Dr. A. C. OSBORN.

Tomorrow morning at the Medina Methodist Episcopal Church the pulpit will be occupied by Professor Henry PEASE, in the absence of the pastor. In the evening the Rev. T. M. WILLIAMS of Millville will preach a sermon on Odd Fellowship. The members of the Medina lodges of that order will attend in a body.

George VAN ORNAN of Lyndonville attempted suicide on Thursday by taking Paris green in a drink of cider. Every effort was put forth as soon as the act was discovered, and it is thought that his life is saved but he is still in a very precarious condition. Young VAN ORNAM was despondent because of the hold the liquor habit had on him and his inability to effect a cure.

The entertainment of the primary schools at Albion was given yesterday morning in the Grand opera house. First came a chorus "The Boatman's Song;" then followed recitations and declamations by Mason ROGERS, Bertha WARNER, and Charlie LITTLEBRANT, and a song, "Pretty Little Bluebird," after which Leslie KNOTT gave a declamation.

The physical culture class under the tuition of Miss Harriet C. PAUL gave exercises. Winifred IRELAND and Sarah CHURCH gave recitations and then came the pretty flower dialogue.

Flossie BURKE, a recitation, "The Fairy Song," followed, after which the physical culture class gave the minuet. There were recitations by Charlotte DANIELS, Georgie ASHBY, Allie BUELL and a song "The Railway Train." Neil WILCOX, Tues ACHILLES, Beth HARRIS, Georgie ROBERTSON and Julia MILLER were others who took part in the exercises, which came to a close with a chorus by A and B grades, "Auld Lang Syne at School."
