The Toledo Blade says: "The con-
vention Of Michigan Greenbackers
did not have enough young men in
ut to fill cab. The delegates were
all elderly cranks whose brains were
getting musty."
The citizens of Owosso ought not
it seems to us to let the coming 4th
of July pass without holding first
class National celebration. We hope
TO see call very soon for meeting
TO make arrangements.
Those who. propose to make the
Great Lakes their background this
summer will be attracted by paper
on "The North Shore" of Lake Su-
,perior in the next Ounce Harpers,
rillustra ted by Mr.. c. Graham.
The Granite State Free Press says:
"Blaine and Arthur may have most
of the delegates, but the ticket will
Ibe either Sherman and Lincoln or
Lincoln and Hawley. Either would
be sure Of success from the start"
BY an oversight, we neglected to
mote, last week, the election of E. l..
Brewer as member of the Union

iDistrict.
The Livingston Republican says:
T'Rev E. f. Gregory, of this place,
died at his residence in this village,
ON Tuesday morning last, aged 81
years and 8 months. He had lived
in Howell 4S years and was widely
known and respected. In accordance
with the wishes of the deceased no
funeral services were observed or
sermon preached. His body was laid
in aplain plank coffin and conveyed
to the cemetery this morning by his
,relatives.
The Ovid Register says: "Clin-
rton VOORHEES,, of Owosso, hired
thorse and buggy of J. w. Rideout
Tuesday last, for the purpose of
riding around town an hour or so.
He failed to return, as he agreed to.
The next morning Rideout and Dep
uty Sheriff Leddick started in pur-
suit, and found the horse and buggy
in st Johns. VOORHEES, drove to
Shephardsville, where he got supper
and fed the horse, leaving lap robe
for security. He then drove to st.
Johns, staying all night. He left the
hotel unobserved the next morning,
and has not been heard of since.
Fred Scott, a boy thirteen or four
'teen years old, hired out to VOORHEES,
to go to st. Johns and help take care
of some fast horses that he, (Voorheis)
claimed would be there that evening"
A gentleman has laid on our table
copies Of the Lowell Journal, and
Cedar Springs Mail, with notices
marked favorable to the nomination
of Moses Taggart, Esq, of Grand

know Mr.. Taggart to be man of
