rate hotels, and its streets are wide and pleasantly shaded. Until recently it gave but little attention to manufacturing but its railroad advantages have attracted the no- tice of capitalists numerous industrial enter- prises have taken root there. These include an extensive furniture factory, employing when full 75 hands and turning out 300 bed- steads a week besides other furniture; a foundry, a flouring mill, a factory for the Walker patent heat multiplier, employing when in full operation some 90 men ; an Alden fruit drying establishment . and one for the manufacture of fruit flour, with a capacity for producing 1,300 pounds per day, a planing mill, a sash and blind factory and some others. The revival of business activi- ty in Sturgis is due very largely to a large capitalist who has recently located there and is devoting himself to the development of the natural advantages of the place. This is Mr. Jean H. Broadus, who has laid out an addition to the village of 140 acres and is donating manufacturing sites. An extensive chair factory is about to be erected on this plat, also a manufactory of grain scourers and prospectively an edge tool factory. Mr. Broadus will also during the current year (1875) erect 50 cottages on his addition. The future of Sturgis is hence very promis- ing. It is surrounded by one of the finest agricultural regions in the State. Telegraph -- Western Union. Express -- United States. Jonathan D. Wait, postmaster.

TECUMSEH.
Tecumseh is an old wealthy and substant- ial settlement in the northeastern part of Lenawee county, and is one of the hand- somest places in the interior of the State. It was once the county seat of Lenawee county, but the more rapid growth of Adrian took from it the county buildings. It is located on the Jackson branch of the L. S. & M. S. R. R., 9 miles north of Lenawee junction, and 33 miles south of Jackson. The railroad passes through the center of the town, so that the ears of the weary traveler are not saluted with the busman's cry, " hotels and private houses." Tecumseh is 38 miles from Toledo, and 66 from Detroit (via Manchester). It is on the river Raisin, which is improved for water power.
