The school has had the last few Sundays the aid of an or chestra in their singing. A most remarkable imitation of bbek walnut has lately been manu factured from poor pine, the quality and appearance of the article being such as tb defy detection except upon very close examination.

The following item concerning a former Owossoite will interest our readers: "Capt. Ed. Pease of East Saginaw, who raised the Samuel J. Tilden, will make from $7,000 to $10 000 by the operation. By the sale of ore taken from the boat the Tilden was clear when she reached dry dock. Captain Pease was offered $8,000 for the boat before any repairs were made.

The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, and the remains were brought to this city for inter ment. Flushing Observer. ' We desire to call the attention of our readers to the lecture at opera house on Monday evening next by Geo. R. Wendling, subject: "Stonewall Jack son," This is the latent lecture from Mr. Wendling's pen. It is a series of battle pictures interwoven with many new and original suggestions concerning our war literature. In some respects this lecture surpasses anything Mr. Wendling has given to the public. His descriptive powers always regarded as exceedingly powerful arc brought in this effort to their highest work, and find ample field in the career of the .most singu lar and romantic figure of our civil war. The religious side of Jackson's life, and a strikingly novel theory concerning the oiigin of rectional difference, furnish material for much of Mr. Vendlirg's keenest and most facinating analysis. The whole of this masterly effort is conceived in the highest admiration for the theme, and yet is permeated by the highest patriotism, and will doubtless add.

Ore::') Tcj CirlstUa The gathering in Opera Hall, Sun day evening bore ample testimony to the general interest taken in the T. M. C. A. The hall was filled, close attention given to the exercises, and a liberal donation made for carrying on the work. In the absence ol the president and by request of the asso ciation, Rev. Mr. Wilson acted as chaiiman of the meeting. The Rev. Mr. Donnelly and the Rev. Mr. Spen cer made short addresses relative to the need of an association in Owosso and its prospect of success.

C. A. work ' in general, forcibly presenting its most important features. The importance of the organization of a Y. M. C. A. to Owo&o and the country about it can not be overesti mated. It means welfare to every person and to every, interest with which it comes in contact. It deserves healthy support. For the present the meetings will continue to be held each Wednesday evening in one or another of the church chapels. All young men are cordially invited to be present.

Somewhere about two years ago Dr. Hess, of Gr?nd Rapids, was in duced by a number of bis patients here to visit our city for the accom tnodation of many who desired his services, but could not go to Grand Rapids to see him, and while here he so skillfully treated and cured some very difficult cases ot the most aggravating nature, thct hav been considered incurable and sines that time his practice hero lias been 8teaduy increasing v.ntil now once again by urgent request he has agreed to visit here again for a time as heretofore one day, each alternate week. In justice to him be 11 said that not one case that he tieated and cured but have remained well up to the present time. He seems to have complete mastery over chronic dis eases but more especially in Lis spec ialities which arc cancer, consumption stomach troubles and epiletic fits; so if there ure any who are suffering with some dreaded disease and have lost all hope,' and become discouraged we advise them to try once more as your cse may prove like many others, that through the praiseworihy treat ment ot Dr lie? are well and enjoy ing good health.
