Strawberry festivals are in order.

Strawberry festivals are in order.
Let all join in the memorial exer-
cises.
Frank Wicking is building house
on Hickory street.
For blacksmithing of all kinds pat-
ronize Dave Dwight.
Vegetation has had bigger boom
this week than any of the numerous
presidential candidates.
The School Board has offered the
entire corps of teachers their present
positions for another year. Prof.
Hartman has declined, desiring to
enter the University for year. Miss
Blenkiron has also declined, wishing
to take years rest.
The Supreme Court on Thursday
last granted the mandamus asked for
by v. G.. tanning compelling the
County Clerk to pay him his salary
as Secretary of the County Board Of
school examiners. Thus the question
as to the secretaryship is settled.
Owosso people turned out en- masse
on Wednesday evening to give Mr..
and Mrs. Francis Labadie welcome.
Assisted by local talent they present
ed the play of Pygmalion and Galatea
to the entire satisfaction of everyone.
Words of praise were heard on every
side for Mrs. Labadie, nee Hattie
Rowell.
Mr.. Geo, w. Watrons, of Grand
Rapids, has purchased the business
of d. Dimmick & Son and taken
possession. Mr.. w. is said to be a
man of means, hustler in business
and desirable man for the city.
He was attracted to Owosso by the
busy appearance OF the city, its neat
homes, attractive streets and general
appearance of prosperity. We are
glad to welcome him to our city.
Gurdon Dimmick will devote his time
to building, intending to erect sever
al new houses at once.
A TIMES reporter stepped into the
new house of j. S. Colby one day
this week and was surprised to see
the work so near completed. The
building is situated on the corner Of
Oliver and Hickory streets, an excel
lent location: the style is something
entirely new in Owosso. The con-
tractor, Mr.. Frank Donnie, of East
Saginaw, certainly planned for Mr..
Colby well arranged house, attrac-
tive outside and inside. One pecul-
lar feature is the odd shape of the
rooms--none Of them being square.
| All modern conveniencies have been
put in, and 1t is not too much to say
that Mr.. C.. has one of the finest
houses in Shiawassee county, and
probably the most expensive. The
brick barn on the place is also a
model of neatness.

CHAPTER NJ.

Harry Winthrep was the last man ia the
world to question tho sagaoity of his superb
ors, but his patience was soroly tried during
the next week or two. for it seemed as If
the authorities were resolved to harass tho
life out Of tho light cavalry.
First they were marched toward BaltL
more, then recalled, then started on a wild
goose chase alter Bradley Johnson's brigade,
and just as they had come up with him,
while he was lcisurcly driving away vast
herds of cattle and sheep he had captured,
orders came not to attack him; and hardly
had the angry men recovered the di5ap-
polntincnt and thcdusty clouds that lowered
over tic Confederate host vanished than
these orders were counterrlan led, and they
were told to strike the enemJ whom now
!hey could not find. Next they were hIr-
ried in rot haste to the Shenandoah valley,
called Lack to Washington, dispatched with
flying speed To HaFpcr's Ferry, started
toward Winchester, then compelled TO make
q forced march to Frederick, Nd. And all
this ON half ~rations, under a blazing sun,
beneath the fury Of whose burning rays
more than four hundred mon dropped sense
less from the saddle.
Ihave heard Harry Winthrop say that the
most exquisite luxury of personal comfort
he enjoyed vas a hot-svnter bath at tho
hotel at Frederick, and, ncxtto that, asound
slccp for nine hours in a real bed, which,
that ~hospitable city affordea hiel. F0u near
~ q whole week he was q gentleman ut
largo, for the men OF the romountcd force Z
at least, what was left Of them were draft
ed to their regiments, and for u time Harry
was left at liberty TO follow the dictates Of
his own inclination.
He boarded at the house Of a lady named
Platt, . widow with two charming daugi,-
ters, Lucy and Agnes. These young ladies'
wore typical Of the times when many q
house on the bordcrland was divided
against itself. Lucy was a staunch Unions
ist, to whom the stars and stripes were sa-
cred emblems and the constitution Of tna
United States a Bible, while Agnes was q
fed-hot revolutIonist who worshiped Lee

that this young Piatt, who apparently was
tho n~o'er-do-well son Of his hostess, was
his flend's murderer, but he shrank FROM

ry the rufian's sister, ia his conviction 50,

'Aiajor Winthrop to report at ~headQuar-
ters.n
The army was lying before Petersburg,
tho advanced post Of Richmond, when Grant
was b~elcagucring Lee with the bulldog de-
termination to hang on till the Confederate
legion was annihilatcd.

jutant-General, when Harry presented him

transports to Washington via Baltimore.
Major Briggs will share the command with
you. You viii report to Colonel Gamble at
Remount Camp aud await further orders.p
When Major Briggs and our hero reached
City Point and mustered their new COM
mand, they found themselves in charge of d
mob of men, ragged aud tattercd, hatless
and shoeless, and what wa wqrsa. tainted
with the iawless spirit which always affects
large bodies Of men when discipline has
been for a time in allegiance. To
even up the responsibility, each officer
took charge Of a thousand men, and
they set sail for Baltimore. The men
drank in fresh life from the ozone-laden
brcezes of the Atlantic: though many a
gallant fellow who had ridden, with0as
quailiEs, through the battle field, found his
heart sink when the rolling vessel warned
him that his time was come to pay tribute
TO Father Neptune, for all Of them were
from inland homes and the ocean pillows
