MICE, JULY 29. 1887. During the past week J. II. Paul, Esq.', of Battle Creek, State agent for Messrs. Stuts & Walker, Goshen, Ind., manufact urers of the celebrated "Double Centie Spring Buggies," which, wherever used, have gained such an enviable reputation for strength, beauty and riding qualities, has been exhibiting oe of these buggies to our citizens, inviting them to test its riding merits, and selecting as local agent at Owosso, Mr. A. E. Hartshorn, who will soon have a fine line of these elegant bug gies on cxhibi'ion and for sale. These buggies are finished in. good style, with spring back and spring-seat cushions, "and trimmings which belong to a first-class earring".. On this buggy the weight is suspended from the center of the axle, thercbyt relieving the side bars of the load which other springs impose upon them; with this tprlng the side-bars serve to make angidgeer, and which by means of an equalizer, positively prevents all side or uneven motion.' The buggy seems to us from our experience, to justify all that J. 15. Stout, who is well known to many of our citizens says of it it in the following paragraph; ,"I can. cheerfully recommend the Double jPcntie Spring bugsy'to be the easiest tfduxgiiuii easiest draw ing carriage I have ever Used on the road, t can ride from morning until night and not feel tired. Consider myself a judge, as I almost' live in a carriage, traveling for the Aywcricah Englu Tobacco Co." Persons desiring lo cal agencies, where local agents ate not already selected, should write Mr Paul, at Battle Creek. Saginaw Herald; On Monday kst when the surveyors of tho Saginaw, Toledo & Mackinaw railway began their work, they started from a point west of Durand and close to that village. They kept at work on this lino all Monday nd part of Tues day, when J. M. Ashley, Jr., arrived on the scene and said that tho surveyors had got on the wrong track. He hired a rig and started after them but failed to find them, and another man was sent out to hunt for them and he found them in a swamp near Flushing.,' The entire corps of surveyors were then brought back to Durand and started on a new line from a point two miles southeast of Durand, where the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern leaves the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee road. From this point the line runs to Duffleld, four miles from Durand, where it crosses the Chicago & Grand Trunk. It crosses the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee road two miles east of Durand. ' This sur2 vey leaves Durand out. On the. new . line the surveyors passed Flushing Thursday, From Flushing to Duffleld, the Grand Trunk crossing, the distance is 14 miles'. When the second line was started Durand people' began to grow uneasy, and when they saw their village passed two miles to the southeast, they put their heads togeth er on Thursday and concluded to send Chas. II. DeCamp, one of their business men, to interview the Saginaw directors on the subject. Mr. DeCamp arrived here Friday night and yesterday had an inform al talk with Mr. W. R. Burt, but he evi dently got but little satisfaction, and left for home last evening via Owosso. He believes the reason Mr. Ashley gave Du rand the go-by was on account of a grudge he had against that place for not standing up to their agreement with the Toledo, Ann Arbor Northern road. It didn't pay the notes ctfven, and they are now in Garrison's bank at Vernon for collection. According to Mr. DeCamp, Ashley said ho would some day get even with Durand, and he now believes that eventful period of time has arrived. Mr. Burt, however, disabused Mr. DeCamp's mind on that point, He said the uew company had no old grudges against any place, and all they desired was to get the best line. Durand, it was stated,' had offered nothing as an Inducement to cover the extra cost of the line to that point. ' The line from Sag inaw to Flushing and then to Durand is no straighter than an elbow, and this doubtless is the reason for the change in route. ' On the other hand, a glance at the map will show that the new line 'from Flushing ' to Duffleld, to a point where It forms a junction with the T., A. A. & N. road, is perfectly straight, and shortens the distance some two miles. The ex pense of this two miles, and also tho dis advantage of a crooked line, is undoubted ly the reason for going two miles to the southea st of . Durand. Tho connect ion at Duffleld with the Chigago & Grand Trunk is just as good as could be bad at Durand, and with the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee road is more direct on the route to Detroit.

Temperature Tho temperature for the past we.-k has been above the normal, the first three drfys being very warm, and did considerable damage to corir, in curling up tho leaf. The last two doys the tempera, turj was lower and a beneficial effect noted. ! ' , Precipitation Rain fell in most localities on either the 20th or 21st, and although not as much as is needed was very beni-fl-cial to all growing crops. Sunshine The Bunshine for the week has been above the average, and with the high temperature, the effect has been un favorable to all crops. . . Coiiditlon of Crops The corn, potatoes and oats are reported unfavorably affected in the southern tier of counties, and in good 6hape in the north-central portion ; thci 1 ick of heavy rains and intense and high temperature has caused the set back.' Pastures In the southern portion are, reported "burned" with the lat finj tolll to Use. . Oats are being bnrvesled.

Said a lady ou reading tho Or dinance, "that Is splendid. Will they en force it?" Aye, there Is the rub.' We hear It said wo have n good Council this year; nt least all thought so who attended tho banquet and heard Mr. ' Kllpatrlck's reply to the toast, "Our City Fathers." I thought tho Council might enjoy tho com pliments showered upon them. 1 hope they did. People .living in West Owosso complain that they have to go dodging empty dry goods and clothing boxes,' hang ing goods, etc., until near Exchange 6trect: above Exchange the sidewalks are given to the pedestrian except perhaps a few buggies and ptows; but the plows don't talk and make unpleasant remarks, as do some of the things that hold down the empty boxes. ; ' Now why can't the good Council clear the sidewalks of ' these ob structions? The merchants would be sat. isfled with the usual allotment (three feet from the building) to display their mer chandise. When you next. go out, just notice where these obstructions 'are. We have not heard from the Board of Health for some time, perhaps they are away for the summer. However they will appear again like annuals that bloom in the spring, trala la. The O. B. M. A. is a good thing they get up nice banquets long may it wave. ' The O. B. M. A. says we have a good Council, so it must be so. , We hear that the old board sidewalks . and race bridges must go, let's all rise up and say amen. But the weeds in the road and the sidewalk obstructions troublous more than the plan for water works. There we go on another subject; so good bye Mr. Editor, we will call and see you again. .
