The ordinance passed to restrain
peddlers and street vendors was a
thing that ought to have been done
long ago. Why, for instance, was it
necessary to allow those jewelry auc.
tioneers to bag SI,o worth of trade
that rightly belonged to Guile and
the jewellers of Owosso? We believe
emphatically in patronizing our home
dealers-those who help build up
the city. If, from any cause it were
necessary to patronize others than
Owosso jewellers, buy of Roehm &
Wright, Detroit, who have a repu-
tation at stake and not of Inherent
peddlers who have nothing to
lose and everything to gain.
The following exciting despatch,
addressed to Mr.. G. G. Duff, the
Owosso importer of teas. was received
here on the 9Th:
Owosso, August J.
A party of men disguised as Indians entered the
Great Tea House of Central Michigan and dumped
1853 chests of those Suez goods into the Shiawassee
river. 1t Is not know who the parties were but il
generally supposed that the leader OF the expedi-
ton was B. o. Williams jr., who has just been APP
pointed Counsel of Patagonia with headquarters at
SoIunud. ADOut the SAME time " plOJ was us
covered by Doc Van Houten to blow up the resi-
dence of the late c. @. Duff with can of Boston
baked beans.
Our reporter took copy of the
message, and committee left the
River Park at once in search of the
victim of this awful outrage. He
was found sitting on a pile angling
for bullheads in John P. Clark's fish
pond, where the best specimens of
marine monsters are corraled and
fattened for the market. Mr.. Duff
read the dispatch with blanched
cheeks and quivering lips. Then,
as the full extent of the great calam-
ity dawned upon him, he rolled his
eyes upward and whispered: Seen
tlemen, please drive in some more of
those speckled bass; think l could
catch one if there were more of 'em!"

That girl who decks herself in the
