Rev. t. S. Leonard preached his
farewell sermon at the Baptist church
on Sunday. The house was well
filled, the sermon instructive and en-
tertaining, delivered in his usual elo-
quent manner. During the time Mr..
Leonard has oficiated as pastor of
the church here he has won many
friends who deeply regret his depart
ure, and able as the church here is
to employ the best talent in the state,

The TINES is advised that the ar
rapgements for first class celebra-
ton on the coming 4th of July, in
Owosso, may be set down as a fixed
fact. Mr.. Kohler, who is soliciting
for the funds is having fair success,
and will probably secure all that is
essential. But our merchants should
remember that a celebration ct Owos-
so means two or three thousand dol

will be spent elsewhere if a celebra-
tion is not held, and act accordingly.

10th Congressional district. This

in that district can govern themselves
accordingly.

Vermontville Hawk thinks Hon. Geo.
M. Dewey, editor of the Owosso
TINES, because of his long years Of
faithfulness to the cause oftemperance
and his unfaltering loyalty to the
principles of the Republican party,
would make an available candidate
for Governor. Our friend of the
Hawk, in bis endeavor to pay com.
pliment to a brother editor, never
for once thought that editors oil
being rich men, they should not
be tempted to take offices which pay
the salary that the Governorship OF
Michigan does. These places our
