The sad event of the present week is the
sudden death of Hon. William 8. George,
editor of the Lansing Republican, and one
of the contractors for doing the state
printing, who died at his residence in the
City Of Lansing, on Tuesday morning,
aged SO years, of rheumatism of the heart.
Mr.. George had been connected with the
press of Michigan for nearly quarter Of
a century. and was one of the ablest
journalists in the country, as well as one
of the most sagacious and reliable party
leaders His death caused by overwork,
makes vacancy hard to fill in the ranks
of the journalists of the country, and the
Republican leaders of the state.
The Christmas exercises of the Owosso
High School, under direction of Prof
Seelyc, held on Thursday afternoon, Dec.
22d inst, were of more real value to both
scholars and spectators than such exercises
usually are. Every part was well carried
out. The music exceedingly fine, aud we
have not in years passed two hours more
pleasantly. We regret that more of the
patrons of the school, and especially rhem-
bers of the Board of Education were not
present. We think it was due the teachers
that they should have been, and certainly
the parents and friends of all the phpils
who took part in the exercises. must have
been more than gratified by their appear
ance on the rostrum.
