Tfte Times. OWOSSO. MICHIGAN. GEO. M. DEWEY, Editor. A Chicago firm is said to slaughter 1,000 cattle daily for the eastern market. i.et us all be careful that our bless ings do not grow mouldy and then become curses by our neglect to use them. Washington lring says "Love is never lost. If not reciprocated it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. Judge Ambler, . member of the Tariff Commission, is now spoken of as a Republican candidate for Gov ernor in Ohio. It is stated that neariy $14,000,000 worth of cattle are now grazing in what six years ago was an absolutely Indian county in Texas. Dr. Johnson, one of the most emi nent men the world has ever pro duced, said "I look upon a day as lost in which I do not make anew acquaintance." The libel suit of Bathrick, of Bat tle Creek, against the Detroit Post ;md Tribune, resulted in a verdict of 2,500 for the plaintiff, which we think was simply an outrage. Every man ought to keep his friend ships in constant repair, ever be friendly, cordial and true in his inter course with his fellows and then the number of his friends will be con stantly on the increase. Let each of us try to do that during the coming year and carefu'ly note results. Any one who hears people talk will soon be convinced that it is not everyone in this land of high civiliza tion who has outgrown the heathen tendency to believe in signs in fact it is very surprising that many most senseless superstitions are so deep seated in the minds of many people who on most things are very sensible. The tidings that the existence of the National Greenback Committee is threatened by internal dissensions about its platform, for the future will interest a very few politians. That humbug has been worked for all that it is worth, and that is not saying much for it is a matter of fact in our judgmenn. One of our exchanges says that "a prominent advocate of female suffrage opposes the re election of Senator Ferry, because, she says, she has no confidence in a man who lacks the moral and physical courage to capture one good women and make her a good husband." Almost as sensible as the reasons given by the Kilkenny cats in their fight over the question of Mr. Ferry's re election through the Washington press. The subscription price of the Bos ton, Massachusetts, Daily Journal the ablest paper in New England, and one of the best in the Nation, has been reduced to $6.00 a year. Its daily circulation is nearly 35,000 copies and it absolutely shapes the policy of the people in at least four of the six New England stales. We trust its influence may continue to increase and that it may be as pros perous in the future as it has been in the past and more than that we are sure its publishers could not desire or expect. The Bancroft Advertser Hays that W. R. Chapell has a petition in cir culation asking to be appointed Postmaster at Corunna and that "he has secured the signatures of many of the best men in the county to his petition." Now it is all right for Mr. Chapell to be a. candidate for Postmaster at Corunna, if he desires the position and to get all the men he can who receive their mail through that office to sign his petition and for the officials of the Republican organization in the county, if they fed at liberty to do so. But we re gard the position of Postmaster sub stantially a local one and believe to a very large degree the wishes of those who receive their mail through any given office should be consulted in making an appointment by the powers that be. We wish it distinct ly understood that in saying this we are not opposing the appointment of Mr. Chapell, who would doubtless make an efficient officer, but stating a general principle of action which to us ems both right and proper. A successful school for the training of young women in the art of teach ing, is in operation in Des Moines. They are put into actual school room work and required to discipline and instruct in accordance with the prin ciples of the "new education," and under the constant criticism and con trol of one of the best primary work ers in the state. The following from the Vermont ville, Eaton county, Hawk, is to say the least of it complimentary to the editor of TBI Times : Hon. George M. Dewey, for four teen years editor of the Hastings Banner and at present editor of The Times, Owosso, is a condidate for Sergeant at-Arms of the State Sen ate. Mr. Dewey is one of the ablest Republicans in the state and has done herculean service in the Re publican party. He deserves recog niteon at their hands. We heartily wish Mr. Dewey may succeed. Two hundred and sixty-two years ago last Friday the Pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth rock and then and there planted the principles which have made this country the land of liberty, the home of real progress and enduring happiness. And yet how tew, how very few, of the inhabitants of the United States to-day realize the debt they owe those Pilgrim fathers or who revere the motives which actuated them in their efforts to plant a nation on the sterile shores of Massachusetts bay in mid-winter, that in that nation men might enjoy the right of self govern ment and the privilege of worshiping God according to the dictates of their own conscience. The Holly Advertiser : G. M. Dewey, the able editor of The Times, Owosso, is a candidate for Sergeantat-Arms of the State Senate and also I lor tne appointment ot postmaster at Owosso. Mr. Dewey has rendered the Republicans of Shiawassee county valuable service, both through his excellent paper and by his speeches and they should not fail to endeavor to award him either or both of these appointments He is not only en titled to, but thoroughly competent to fill both. Thanks, Brother Slocum, but so far as being a candidate for the Owosso post-office is concerned, it is a decided mistake. A story without foundation set in circulation by the sore-headed editor of the Shiawassee American, entirely without authority from anybody. But we are a candi date for Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate and shall be under obligations for any votes that may be given us in the Republican enatorial caucus. Some controversy is going on in the state papers over the result of the interference of Mr. Van Alstine, ot Bay City, in the canvass of 1882 in the county of Shiawassee. There need be none. It can be summed up in a few words. It cost the Re publicans of the counry three mem bers of the Legislature. Mr. Ferry two or three votes for a re-election and Mr. Horr a good many votes at the polls just that, nothing less, nothing more. Whether it paid to send him here, if he was sent, is not a question of special interest to the public just now, but we hope for the good of thh party, that in the future, United States officers, not residents, will not be present at or take part in the nominating conventions in the several Representative and Senatori. al districts.

We find the following in the Ban croft Advertiser, which we commend to the caretul attention of all ouf citizens who are interested in the Shiawassee county Agricultural Asso ciation : "The Advertiser understands that there is a scheme on foot to establish a Fair ground in Bancroft next sea son and that parties from Corunna are interesting thcmselve towards the furtherance of the project. The idea will receive the necessary impetus from the citizens of Bancroft and vicinity." The Times believes that but one Agrcultural Association can be made a success in an? one county. That the Shiawassee county Association is an old, well organized society, has beautiful grounds and that it is for the interest of every agricultusist to aid in building it up.

There will bo a watch meeting at the M. E. church, the last thing to do this year. A lively fight occurred on Christ mas night resulting in a spoiled phiz and one arrest. The largest dance ever held here was on Christmas night at Phillip & Fodder's Hall. Mrs. Albert Chandler has gone to Coldwater for a New Year's visit. E. Devereaux, a runner who lives here and who has been traveling for Nagle & Co, Detroit, has cone into the employ of a boot and shoe firm in New York.

Query I Were they temperate or no? At the M. E, Christmas tree Rev. Cope, the pastor and Albert Chandler, the Sunday school Supt., received some beautiful silver ware. Some two hundred dollars worth of presents were given it is said. At the Baptist Christmas tree in their new church everything was beautiful, and costly presents made them all a merry Chrismas. Elders Curtis and Hewitt received elegant presents. Miss Lulu Allen, the or ganist was not forgotten. Nora Col lins, Julia Cummins, Kitty Kelsey and Emma Drake received each a kitchen set very fine it was, but also 'twas tin ware. Quill. HENDERSON. Noticing that you have no cor respondent from this place, 1 thought I would drop you a line occasionally. Christmas has come and gone, it passed off very quietly. We had a Christmas tree here in the M. E church, Saturday evening, which was largely attended. Among the many presents was a purse of money $12.85 for the wife of Rev. M.J. Scott, who we think is highly worthy. Our village is prospering slowly. We have four stores, a good grist mill, two blacksmith and one wagon shops and a hotel. Mr. Geo. D. Palmer has rented his mill to Scott Bros., of Chesaning, who are now very busily engaged in repairing the same. We are very much in need of a good shoemaker. Walter Scott has returned from Albion where he has been attending college. He expects to return to Albion, Jan. 3, 1883. Geo. D. Palmer Jr., has gone to Leavenworth, Kansas, to attend school. J. E. Detwiler is his suc cessor as clerk for Detwiler & Son. Frank Bare and wife, of Butte City, Montana, have been the guests of Dr. and David Bare for the last week. One evening last week several sleigh loads of our young folks went to Mr. Alva Peck's, at West Haven, and had a fine time. Nei. Arrested for Burglary. It will be generally remembered that for some time past there lias been a continued scries of petty burglaries committed in this city to the great annoyance of our citizens, though the value of the property taken was not very large, and in some cases quite insignificant. Yet the matter was one thnt deeply concerned the good name and fair fame of the city. The officers have been carefully investigating any and every trace that in any way gave a clue to the perpetrators of these outrages. The result was the arrest, on Tuesday evening, of Fred Wilcox, Harry Frain and Herbert Matlock, boys, two of whom arc ouly 10 years of age and the Other 20. The boys are charged in these complaints with breaking and entering, for the purpose of larceny, in the night time, the stores of Dr. C. P. Parkill, J. C. Dingman and C. C. Duff. At the examination held before Justice Taylor, Frain and Wilcox plead guilty and in default of (mil in the sum of 1,000 each, were committed for tril in the Circuit Court. Matlock pleads not guilty, and we arc informed that both Frain and Wilcox exonerate him. His examination is set down for the 12 of Jan uary, and ho is held in bonds on ooch of the three counts in the sum of $;t00 Much symp.it h is expressed for the friends of these boys and for the boys them selves. It is to be hoped that the lesson will not 1k lost on our young men, but that they may learn that there is no road that leads to cither wealth or honor that does not lead through fields of honest toil. In these matters we understand others are implicated and there may be other and important dcvelopemcnts in tho near fu ture, but as yet these charges rest on mere rumor, that cannot le traced to any rclia the sourre, The woman who seeks relief from pain by rhc free use of of alcholic stimulants and nareoeit drugs, finds what she seeks only so far as sensibility is destroyed or tempomrly suspended.
