SOS prosperity.
A prOvncialism that almost unavoidably
creeps into newspapers is that such a person
''Sundayed" at certain place. The ex-
preston that JnO. Smith Sundayed in Chi
cago sounds naturally quite we'll from long
usage. However it would be quite as cor
rect to say that JnO. Smith Monday fore
nOoned in Chicago il he was in the city dur
ing the first portion of Monday. Or II a
person Sundayed, why not If he spends a
month at some place, say that JnO. Smith
Februaryed in OwOsso but will March in
Chicago.
ID. l.. Winkler, of Owosso township had
curiosity at The TIMES Office last Friday
In the way of cross section of a maple tree
bearing strange stamp. The tree grew on
the Weidman farm and was being sawed
into wood. AS one stick dropped of, a
workman named Ballard discovered an i'm
preston which was in solid wood and but a
few inches from the heart Of the tree. A
close examination of the log was made at
the same cuttingA but no impression was
found there, the saw having evidently cut
away all except what was on the piece dis
covered. The impression on the wood was
that of an oval stamp about one inch by
One-half in diameter, Ornamented with
scroll work and the figures 1855" plainly
visible, also some letters distinct others not.
The cause of the impression at right angles
to the growth of the tree with the late date
is indeed puzzle.
